On Father’s Day, we are posting a painting titled “Father’s Day” by Chinese American artist, Hung Liu (1948 – 2021).

Hung Liu was born in Changchun in northeast China in 1948 during the revolutionary era when starvation and panic were prevalent in the region. In September of that year, Liu’s family fled the city in search of food, crossing into Communist territory. Liu’s father, Xia Peng, was detained by Communist troops at a checkpoint outside Changchun. Her father was imprisoned for his involvement in anti-Communist politics. Liu would not see him for more than forty years.

In 1994, Liu learned that her father was still alive and living on a rural work farm for elderly inmates near Nanjing, China, where he had lived for many years. By coincidence she traveled there to meet him on Father’s Day. She learned that he had been imprisoned on and off since 1948.

Liu created this painting based on a photograph of her father and herself taken on that day.

Image: “Father’s Day”, 1994, Oil on canvas, architectural panel, 54”x 72”

Happy Holidays! 😬 Funny thing is I was trying to scare my niece with Krampus, but she is all too powerful and nothing phases her. My nephew on the other hand is terrified by both Elf on the shelf, Krampus and much more.🐐🧺 . . . . . #autobiocomics #journalcomic #comic #aapiartists #nonbinaryartist #nannerscomic #krampus https://www.instagram.com/p/CmjrwCnLCMf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

i miss the streets of Taipei, where the air was warm and heavy but the overcast sky made the sun gentle, and so the plants seemed to thrive on the curbside.

New LNY stickers are now up in my store! Lucky rabbit dolls to wish for good luck and fortune, and Worry Rabbit and Veronicat leading the way to a happy future in the fresh, new year

In light of recent events in Monterey Park (which is my hometown), I will be donating a portion of the proceeds of these Year of the Rabbit stickers to the victims fund of those directly affected by the incident, as well as charities that benefit the AAPI community

See the product descriptions for these stickers in the "Charity" section of my store for more info about where the proceeds will go.

🧶✨Mewtwo and shiny mareep illustration commission for @galanddolls Lindsay drew her sweet idea on the second image for my reference and I was like YES, I LOVE IT. I will take this ART REFERENCE AS MY MUSE.

Its Asian American Pacific Islander month heres to all the AAPI contributing to our communities 🫶🏻 being adopted from South Korea as an infant has made my life in America full of opportunities beyond belief. From orphan to having a loving family and an amazing network of people to support my art and many projects: I’ve got nothing but gratitude ♥️

Hi everyone ✨ I’m a new small business owner who’s a BIPOC woman that just opened on Etsy 😊 I design and sell apparel, mugs and tote bags in my shop and a lot of them are custom korean Hangul and K-pop items! Customize to wear to a concert, wear it anywhere or gift it to a loved one ☺️ If you have any suggestions on anything you’d like to see sold in my shop or design suggestions, please let me know! I would love to hear from customers on what they want to buy 💜 I hope this reaches a lot of people since I’ve been a kpop fan since 2010 🥹 I love the community on tumblr as it’s less anxiety inducing than tiktok and Instagram. So if you see this, please support my shop by helping it reach others as I would truly appreciate you friends 🥰 My little business and heart thanks you 🥺

Some items in my shop in the video below :)
