Stone lions I saw outside a grocery store a little while ago. I cracked up and had to take a picture because...

One has what looks like a head of broccoli or some kind of leafy green, and the other has a squash/pumpkin/melon!

Stone lions for sticker club! Based off the lion statues I used to see in front of my old school.

Erroneously called "foo dogs" in English, stone lions usually come in pairs guarding the entrance of a building. The female lion protects the interior, and the male lion protects the exterior. Traditionally, both the lions are depicted with luscious manes. I chose to make my lady lion sleeker, along with her baby.

I'll be shipping these out on January 1st. Sub to sticker club if ya want this pair of designs in the mail 😸

One of the highlights of my recent trip to NYC - chilling with my book for 3 hours in the reading room at the main branch of the public library. (Re: last picture - didn’t realize which seats we had randomly chosen till about an hour in. Guess we just naturally gravitated to it XD )

the pride of lions  3  -   the chain bridge

during the siege of Budapest, retreating units of the Wehrmacht demolished the chain bridge.  The lions were later recovered from the banks of the Danube, and restored to their original positions when the bridge was rebuilt.
