My last project of 2021 was to create key images for the Year of the Tiger greeting cards for 2022. The main concept behind the illustrations is the celebration of Vietnamese Lunar New Year - also known as Tet. It is a time celebrated by Vietnamese people hoping for happiness, contentment, and affluence. There are two artworks in the collection.

In the first image, the Tiger, wearing traditional Vietnamese tunic known as an Ao Dai, is surrounded by traditional Vietnamese cuisine. Vietnamese decorative patterns are also seen in the dishes, while adorning the scene is peach blossom petals, representing liveliness, mixed with twinkle gold dust, representing magic and good fortune.

In the second image, the Tiger, still wearing a red Ao Dai, is sitting on a fruit tree and peeling a magical fruit that carries shiny sycee cloves. The densely grown fruit design evokes the feeling of being blessed with good luck, prosperity, and success in life.
