The artist who designed the first zodiac stamp in China, 99-year-old
Huang Yongyu, is again making headlines by creating stamps for the upcoming
Year of the Rabbit.
Creative, humorous, and conveying a sense of happiness, the new stamp series
reflects the consistent artistic style of the renowned artist. And just like
the much sought-after monkey stamp he created in 1980, the newly-released
rabbit stamps attracted many collectors waiting in long queues.
In the new stamp series, the first stamp features a blue rabbit with a pen and
paper writing New Year blessings to people everywhere. It toys with the
wordplay between the terms for "blue rabbit" and
"blueprint," which sound similar in Chinese, with
"blueprint" representing a bright future and good fortune.
