Unique Chinese Rat Art

[dingosm8]

I found a Chinese rat calendar in Chinatown recently....thought you all would enjoy these paintings

[Godmother]

They are so pretty! Totally unlike the typical North American image of rats...

Oooooh.... those are gorgeous. I think I'll have to show those to my local artist for ideas on my next tattoo, as a tribute to my ratties and my own rat year of birth.

(links to higher resolution images and/or other Chinese/Asian art rattie images would be greatly appreciated, if there are any...)
