Hi everyone!


2017 will be the Year of the Rooster in the Chinese zodiac. This is the third year running where I've designed and printed giftcards to sell online. It started as a side-project, where I intended to send them to friends and family as 'thank you' cards. After the surplus sold-out on eBay, I tried to be more purposeful last year and ordered more.

I'm selling on Etsy as well as eBay, though the latter is far more popular/accessible, so I've moved most of the stock there.

This year's rooster has a fire element attached to it, though I misread this before and thought it was the year of the metal rooster....so the ornamental piece it's standing on was originally meant to be made of bronze. Oops! I quite liked the design as it was, so instead of changing it, I painted the gladiola flowers red and an orange background to indicate fire instead. Overall, the suggestion is more subtle this year and, quite rarely, I'm actually happy with it!

Limited stock on Etsy!

Many thanks to those of you who have purchased a card (or a few!) already. :) These are available at Ha Long Mini Mart and will be on sale at Midlands Buddhist Association next week. As you can see, I've snuck in some advertising for my business, NAOHOA, too. :P


These are a LIMITED EDITION print (only 80 available for sale) that come with signed notes when ordered online. Chinese New Year is on Saturday 28th January. To ensure you get your card in time (via Royal Mail 2nd Class), please purchase by Tuesday 24th.

Thanks again and Happy New Year!

Chúc Mừng Năm Mới!  Chinese New Year will be on Monday 8th February, marking the Year of the (fire) Monkey. To celebrate, I designed this card, which has since been selling well on eBay:

From 19th February it will be the Year of the Goat! Each year has an element assigned to it as well as an animal, and 2015's element is wood. As such, I've combined these factors along with this particular zodiac's flowers.

Finished pieces would typically go on my website but I'm having trouble accessing the webspace atm, so I'll be posting it here first:


I'm currently contacting independent stores to see if they'd be interested in stocking them as gift cards/postcards and will post their locations here if they accept. If you run a business and are interested, or know of anyone who might be, please email me at: info [at] naomihoang.com

Animated WIPs.....because they're fun to look at. :)


Cheers,
Naomi

Chúc Mừng Năm Mới! :D 

I been doing more sketchbook stuff lately and so didn't have time to do anything polished, but here's a sketch from last night:


There isn't much shading as I eventually succumbed to sleep, but I might work into this more later on....

I hope you have an excellent and prosperous year!
