New Year Ex-Libris

 I just received a new year gift from Mr. Han Ying, who is one of my friends and an artist from Qingdao, Shandong Province.

This ex-libris for the coming Year of the Dragon, beginning from February 10, 2024, is a red dragon seal image inspired from the Jade Dragon of the Hongshan culture in the Northeastern China 5000 years ago.











Mr. Han promised to design a complete set of ex-libris with 12 animals from the Chinese zodiac cycle. This is the eleventh ex-libris he designed for me, and the eighth in the zodiac cycle.
