Dragon Boat West

Dragon Boat West is an interactive web site delivering dragon boat news, events, race results and a discussion forum for the growing community of dragon boat paddlers in Greater Vancouver and its surrounding regions. Our goal is to provide a venue for dragon boat paddlers, organizers and volunteers to discuss anything that relates to the sport of dragon boat racing. This site will be the place where you can get race news, announcements, results and other information with a focus on BC and the West Coast.

Dragon Boat Stamp

November 21, 2009, 11:42:21 PM by DBWTim

Any budding artists out there that would like to have a chance for their artwork to be used on a Canadian stamp?

Quote

Each year an Asian-Canadian artist is commissioned to create an original work in a traditional art or craft, e.g. pottery, embroidery, papercut, etc. This artwork is then photographed and used on the international rate stamp and souvenir sheet.

Since 2012 is the year of the Water Dragon, my idea for that year's artwork is to create an original dragon boat head. I'm looking for an Asian-Canadian artist / craftsperson who can design (under my supervision), carve and paint the head in a traditional Chinese style.

Any artists who might be interested are invited to send photos of their work to me at the email address provided.

Thank you in advance for your assistance

Cheers, Louis
