cool dude, flyin' high
OP that picture is very good, please send your cool dad to me!



Tineye and the like yield no exact matches so it isn't a mass produced print (or at least not a popular one)



It is remarkably similar to most Korean folk art so perhaps this will send you down the right path

All ice cream is now for all beings, no matter how many legs.


The one on the left is really close and the OPs painting might be an attempt at making a mirror image version and they horribly messed up on the face and legs. I like the OPs painting for the messed up face though. That is the part that makes me laugh like a moron. The tiny little feet are also hilarious. The double pupil on the left image is interesting though.

So basically this art style was intentionally mocking, to take power away from something the common man feared? That makes it even cooler.

Get that thing reproduced. Or at least a high res scan. It has potential to be the next Get Out frog.

A local novice painter might be happy to do them on the cheap as practice if you pay for supplies. My grandfather used to do a bunch of famous paintings and then sell the reproductions. He did a decent enough job, you just have to make sure you reference the original painting and that you are selling duplicates. The hard part is going to be getting someone who will do it cheap enough since I think the sweet spot is going to be $10-20 shipped considered the OP admitted the original is only $4.

I might still have some old rear end manilla paper that'd be pretty good for a reproduction. How big is the original?

Huh... there's more than one. What is this? Is there some folk tale of the hosed-face tiger and his wise bird mentor?

Edit: He even has the same dick tail. Is that part of the folk tale?

Google reverse image search thinks it's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minhwa

Specifically:
Kkachi horangi (까치호랑이) is a prominent genre of minhwa that depicts magpies and tigers. In kkachi horangi paintings, the tiger, which is intentionally given a ridiculous and stupid appearance (hence its nickname "idiot tiger" 바보호랑이), represents authority and the aristocratic yangban, while the dignified magpie represents the common man. Hence, kkachi horangi paintings of magpies and tigers were a satire of the hierarchical structure of Joseon's feudal society.[3][4]

Seems right.A thread where we try and make our own might be fun, I have no artistic talent so I'll just leave the idea here.

You forgot the best part

"The paintings worked on a number of levels. They show Kkangi (보호랑) from folk mythology and legends, symbols of happiness, wealth and health, and scenes of everyday life. The most common figures were animals that represented power (such as "human being dog" 까치호랑이), or providential tokens (such as "puri-puri carp" 호랑랑이), which represent success. The paintings were done on paper and on canvas."

Thank you, this was very informative. I still don't get the dicktail though... like, the rich are such idiots that they use their tails as dicks? Whut?

I also wonder if these paintings are banned in North Korea... I assume yes.

I found this:





at a flea market not too long ago and I posted it here to find someone to help figure out wtf it was.

I eventually found out it was a page from "Nihon fūzoku zue" (Genre Paintings of Japan), which was published in 1914. It was a collection of Edo period woodblocks and descriptions of professions at the time originally from "Wakoku shoshoku ezukushi" (Collection of Pictures of Various Occupations in Japan) by Hishikawa Moronobu.

Mine is apparently someone banging on a wagon wheel. Its prob worth 5 bucks or whatever but it is a pretty cool decorative piece and it was cool researching it. I learned a lot about an esoteric subject I wouldn't have otherwise.

Art is good.
