Mt. Shasta Over Yreka

My final for my Asian Art History class required that I created a Chinese/Korean/Japanese-inspired true scenery landscape of a place that's local or personally significant to me.

I had Hokusai’s “Thirty-Six Views of Mt. Fuji” on the brain, so the first place I could think of was Mount Shasta, one of my favorite landmarks and one of very few I’ve ever encountered. Shasta made me very fond of stratovolcanoes and I wish to see more if I ever go further North, like Hood or Rainier.

This actually mostly takes after Korean true scenery hence the beige construction paper, calligraphy pen, and white charcoal — to simulate yellowed scroll paper and black and white inks that were traditionally used. I also had to seize the opportunity to draw my own artist signature in red like what was traditionally done in East Asian art.

Drawn May 10th, 2025.

In Yreka, California, a bakery operated for 100 years called the Yreka Bakery, which formed a palindrome. When the business closed and a gallery opened in the same spot, they named themselves the Yrella Gallery, so that it would also form a palindrome. – WTF Fun Facts
