The Lunar New Year is usually the time for a week-long celebration in Chinatown, but in 1938 China was at war with Japan. On January 31st, residents of Chinatown observed the start of 4642 by praying in Joss houses (temples) rather than carousing in the streets. They were also working toward collecting $600,000, set as the year's war relief quota of the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association.
Showcasing art from some of my favourite artists, and those that have attracted my attention, in the field of visual arts, including vintage; pulp; pop culture; books and comics; concert posters; fantastical and imaginative realism; classical; contemporary; new contemporary; pop surrealism; conceptual and illustration.
This Sunday, I have been more productive than every other Sunday. I made a few updates to a client's website, finished a new page in my Notion template, and went for a walk.
I miss going to Chinatown. I may go next week for a quick stop :))
