Happy to see that I am the Inspiration for Winnipeg's Chinatown's new Banner art

 

In art school I was taught that inspiration and muses are to be respected. Especially art competition winners past and present. I don't mind Canadian cities gaining inspiration from their applicants especially when I am a Canadian veteran. I just think it's interesting how similar things are sometimes even when no one acknowledges how important the past and elders are. I am happy to have left a contribution to Winnipeg. Because of me and others Winnipeg did see better days. I am happy to see that diversity and the Canadian Asian culture matters to Winnipeg. As a person who helped shape Canada, I love all the cultures of Canada and their artists. 
At the Winnipeg College I entered the Chinatown art contest as a team of four people. We each worked on two banners each. We didn't win and I saw no mention of any of us getting any rewards for our hard work but I can clearly see that I inspired. Canada knows, Winnipeg knows, and so does God. Maybe that's enough sometimes. To see the new art visit the Winnipeg Art Council website.
These are my submissions:


In the last banner I represent different symbols of the Asian communities as a background to the land of Winnipeg while a traditional Chinese farmer cultivates the fertile grass near the Red river. The Human Rights Museum stands tall and very visible in the center. A lucky monkey represents intelligence and a connection to humans.
These are the sketches that I made that helped me put these two banners together in Adobe illustrator:
