Arts & Crafts


A long time creation of mine. I've always sketched creatures of the basic form, rounded head, eyes, nose...but today I decided to make a specific creature, Nicholas "The Green Dragon." In Chinese, his name is 你酷啦斯.

The writings of Mr. Kuo, even though posted anonymously, breaks the trust that the public has in him as an official representative of Taiwan in Toronto, and is a breach of his responsibility to the citizens of the land of Taiwan.
