Chinese Unicorn

Qilin
Medium: traditional bamboo brush and ink on rice paper

From the all-knowing Wikipedia: The qilin ([tɕʰǐ.lǐn]; Chinese: 麒麟), or kirin, is a mythical hooved chimerical creature known in Chinese and other East Asian cultures, said to appear with the imminent arrival or passing of a sage or illustrious ruler.

It's like a Chinese unicorn, guys!

Linocut

This is a linocut print that I've made. Linocuts are made by taking linocut board and carving out all of the areas of your print that you want to stay white. Then, ink is rolled over the carved piece, the piece is pressed onto your media, and your print is made!

It's a Lion. Enough said.
