Cute New Year’s card for 2022 –which is going to be a Year of the Tiger in Japan and China– by artist Baku Maeda.¹ Hayao Miyazaki from Studio Ghibli created a nice nangajo to celebrate the new year, too.
Little fun fact; In contrast to the western and the Japanese calendar, Chinese New Year is on February 1, followed by a celebration of up to 16 days with 7 days of public holidays.²
¹ Original artwork in square format taken from Instagram, additional width/background for a more classical postcard aspect ratio added by me.

The mentality behind all my work is to tell a story in a unique way. Simple stories, few elements, with a smart way to add narrative
You can definitely see this mindset of Jonathan Djob Nkondo shaping all of his beautiful short films, but I’m especially intrigued by this one from 2018 called Comfort Zone.
