Fun Fact
Kazakhstan’s Minister of Communications and Informatics has blocked the Tumblr site because it contained 60 sites of terrorism, extremism, and pornography in 2015.
My amazing talented friend Anna has made me YET ANOTHER piece of incredible Jiang Cheng art! This time it's a linoleum print, i.e. a type of block print where the artist carves away material from their block in between each stage of laying down color, so by the end the block has been almost entirely cut away and the print cannot be made again! Moreover, each block print is entirely unique, as the colors will align slightly differently every time they are laid down.
Look at those golden snake scales! The rich drape of the fabric!! The gorgeous patterned collars!!! His grumpy little face that I just want to smoosh in my hand!!!! I'm so lucky to receive such a beautiful piece of art. Thank you Anna for being wonderful and creating such a special gift!!!
Papercraft commission of Jiang Cheng! The client specifically requested him smiling, which helped to narrow down his pose and expression a bit, but "smiling" still opened up so many possibilities! A confident, battle-ready smirk? A tiny, bitterly wistful smile full of longing for the ever-unreachable past? An unexpected grin when a prank (perhaps pulled by a rambunctious nephew or exuberant shixiong) catches him off-guard? All wonderful options! But in the end, this shy, startled little smile won out. Someone has said something nice to him, and he can't help but blush about it! :D
