White Tiger (白虎) is one of the Four Auspicious Beasts in Chinese constellation mythology. The Beasts are also referred to by other names such as the Four Cardinal Deities, or Four Celestial Guardians. White Tiger represents the cardinal direction of West and the autumn season, and embodies courage, loyalty, and a patron of soldiers and warriors. It is often seen as a powerful protector and a guardian of the physical and spiritual realms, warding off evil spirits and malevolent forces.
Here, White Tiger is the first art release in my quarterly Spirit Guardians art mail club. In light of the current times we live in, I was compelled to use the act of creation to share more about these Four Auspicious Beasts through affordable snail mail. I wanted to put in as many people’s hands these symbols of strength, perseverance, and protection. With the White Tiger embodying the principles of fairness and justice, dishing out punishment to wrongdoers, reflecting the Confucian value of upholding moral integrity, we can call on White Tiger to help us move forward with bold and courageous action in order for us to realize a truly equitable and peaceful future.
White Tiger is drawn with water-based lightfast pigment ink and gold metallic watercolor on Arches rough watercolor paper measured 7 by 10.25 inches.

In 2014, I had been going to art conventions for years, and I noticed a consistent puzzle. Artists were all talking about the struggle to sell, and everyone else was talking about the struggle to buy. Artists wanted to sell more work and experiment more outside their comfort zone. And the people buying wanted to buy more than they did. But the artists had to be consistent at these shows, and their art was often (deservedly) out of a starting collector’s price range.
I created Every Day Original to solve this puzzle. And it’s become much more.
At “EDO,” as it was soon called, we created a platform for artists to experiment with small work and for everyone to be able to start their art collection. Over the years, the success of EDO has allowed us to showcase new voices and voices that might otherwise not be “big” enough. Because we feature new work every single day, everyone has an opportunity to start their collection and support this vision.
By joining our mailing list, you join a community of people who believe that art isn’t just a commodity. It’s a passion and way of life that deserves to be seen and celebrated every day.
