Who better to represent the year of the golden boar than the paragon of pigs, Zhu Bajie from Journey to the West? I would like to wish everyone an auspicious year of the pig and let us try to learn from the lessons of this beloved character…

Happy year of the pig, Alex!
Do I have to choose or can I say I liked all of them (except the text expanded, that one lacked a pig connect 🙂 )
Really wonderful year of the pig celebration!

Very well represented.
I’ve seen a lot of nice watercolors from the mainland, thought I’d give it a try
I wouldn’t have remembered it was the year of the pig if I hadn’t seen the posts here on Virily. Good to know where your avatar picture comes from. ?
