    A Southern Song dynasty painting. I thought it was modern art.
    It’s actually an ad — for eye medicine.

    A street vendor covered head to toe in giant eyes.
    Hat? Eyes. Robe? Eyes. Bag? Also eyes.
    Even his arm has a tattoo.

    He’s pointing at a man’s eye, not his head.
    Marketing in the 1200s: dress weird, get noticed, sell more drops.

    March 2024

    From a Gongbi painting class. Someday, maybe, I'll be able to paint realistic scenes myself, but for now, I traced from an existing drawing, directly with the brush, and then coloured before sharpening some lines again.
