Welcome to the Year of the Tiger
Happy Lunar New Year!
In an auspicious kick off to the lunar new year, @Singulart has included Year of the Tiger (Sumatran Tiger — CJ) in their new Year of the Tiger collection.
This oil on linen painting is the first in a series of artworks depicting the characters in the Chinese Zodiac using animals in the Los Angeles Zoo as models and inspiration. The model for Year of the Tiger is the Sumatran Tiger named CJ. Sumatran Tigers are severely endangered in the wild and need our help so they do not become extinct.
I first became aware of the fragile nature of our planet as an elementary school student. For Christmas one year, I asked my parents for the book “Wildlife in Danger” published by the IUCN (International Union for the Conservation of Nature) They are still an important organization providing information, plans, and hope for our endangered earth. Worried about the environment as a kid, I drew pictures of animals constantly. Now, I am creating paintings that shed light on climate change, the beauty of the natural world, and our place with other species.
Year of the Tiger was first exhibited at The Other Art Fair in Los Angeles at Barker Hangar in September 2021 and continues to uphold the spirit of those born under the tiger’s sign as we move into 2022.

MAUS by Art Spiegelman (Read for Free)
1. The decision of a Tennessee county school board to ban Maus from the classroom is not an isolated incident
— Judd Legum (@JuddLegum) January 27, 2022
It is part of a much broader effort to censor history and literature being packaged under euphemisms like "parents rights"

This is a really powerful thread about Maus. What it is, what it’s about and the fundamental and intrinsic Jewishness of the narrative. And why you don’t replace it. https://t.co/HMfKKbxaWz

Holocaust Memorial Day
Today is #HolocaustMemorialDay.
— The Martin Luther King, Jr. Center (@TheKingCenter) January 27, 2022
We remember the lives:
Six million Jews
Five million Roma, LGBTQ+, disabled and others murdered at the hands and hate of the Nazis
We remember the ideology:
White supremacy
Religious bigotry
Power centric
We commit to the work. pic.twitter.com/Vq5679fb2j
Today is Holocaust memorial day. The genocide of Jews, as well as mass killings of Roma and other minorities, during World War II is a brutal reminder of what hatred and prejudice can lead to. We must never let it happen again. We must never forget. pic.twitter.com/9dJK32cG7D
