So in addition to my peony drawing, I created this:
This was an old print I created from a linoleum block I carved a while back. The design and red ink reminded me of the Asian signature stamps (hanko seal?) I used growing up and saw my aunt use on her paintings. I looked up the spelling for 'hope' in Japanese which shown here is 'kibou'. I grew up painting Asian calligraphy with sumi ink so it was fun to get back into it, although I'm in need of a better brush to make the letters (the ones shown in the picture are done in marker).
I hope my drawings can bring a few people some comfort.
