Happy Chinese New Year!!

Gung Hay Fat Choy, and best wishes to all of you in the Year of the Dog!



What a way to bring in the new year! And if you can’t hear the drums and feel the explosion firecrackers on the ground, you’re missing half of the experience!

The lion dancer trying to fit in and just walk around amongst the masses.. haha!


Store owners pay money for the lion dancers to come to their store, and to pluck the lettuce from over the doorway, so that good fortune will come to them. It’s so cool, cuz the lion “eats the lettuce” (i.e. the dancers grab it through the lions mouth), and then they rip it up, and drop kick it!

Here’s something I drew for Jackie over msn so that she could enjoy the lion dances. I hope you will enjoy it too!
