Today marks the beginning of the Lunar New Year, and people across the world are set to usher in the Year of the Dragon with family feasts, visits to the temple and lively street parades.
For Chinese families, the Lunar New Year marks the beginning of 15 days of festivities, filled with red envelopes, fireworks and lots and lots of food. This year, GIPHY Arts commissioned several GIFs and Stickers from Filipino illustrator and animator Krist Menina to capture the spirit of the holiday. According to Menina, his work draws inspiration from “vintage children’s book illustrations, low-brow art and world cinema.”
Here’s a look at some of Menina’s adorable Chinese New Year GIFs, all of which can be found on Menina’s GIPHY channel here.
