The Year of the Tiger is officially here. To celebrate the arrival of the third zodiac animal, many Vietnamese artists have contributed to the community project "Behum 2k22." The name is a portmanteau of Behance and "hùm," which is Vietnamese slang for tigers.

"Behum 2k22" was initiated by artist Nguyễn Minh Đức in November last year, when the Ox was still the zodiac animal on the throne. It has been a tradition for the Vietnamese illustrators community to have such a project for each Lunar New Year; the hope is to introduce Vietnamese arts and artists to the international community via Behance.

This year was the first time hosting for Đức. More than 150 people signed up for the project with around 110 pieces contributed. The styles were diverse, ranging from illustrations, postcards, to animated clips. Each person depicts the tiger in their own way, some are fierce, some are cute, some are majestic, and others are just silly.

Here are some of our favorite pieces. To see more of the project, check out its Behance page and Facebook album.
