The Year of the Rat: Color Me
February 7th, 2008 marks the beginning of the Chinese year of the rat.
2-THOUSAND-RAT TWO-THOUSAND-LY-RAT 2008 TWENTY-ZERO-RAT TWENTY-ZERO-LY-RAT 2008
The Rat (Chinese:鼠) was welcomed in ancient times as a protector and bringer of material prosperity. It is the first of the 12-year cycle of animals which appear in the Chinese zodiac related to the Chinese calendar. Rat is associated with aggression, wealth, charm, and order, yet also associated with death, war, the occult, pestilence, and atrocities. The Year of the Rat is associated with the earthly branch symbol 子.

Glossy or Matte?
This is a truly behind the scenes look: From a 2004 sketchbook.
Everything that is ever produced and released to the public is tested and sampled in often tiny sizes with real materials. What you see is the actual vinyl that is used on the walls and on the windows.
Black on black, glossy on glossy, matte on matte, glossy on matte, or matte on glossy? The beauty is -- we don't have to decide for just one while abandoning all the other options -- we make it all.
