For the Body art project, we ended up making a website and a book that profiles a number of individuals with various types of body modification. Broken into three sections (Tattoos, Piercing, and Hair) there are section head videos that introduce an artist in that field and brief articles that talk about that type of body art. Each gallery has quotes from each person and a link to the book is on the "Book" page of the website.

Celebrations gathered around in Chinatown in Philadelphia, Pa., especially on January 29. 2017: the year of the rooster, the fire rooster, to be exact. In celebration of the Lunar Festival. In the Chinese culture, the fire rooster is a trustworthy, with a strong sense of timekeeping and responsibility at work. These personalities were put on display this past weekend in Philadelphia Chinatown. The sound and smoke of firecrackers filled the air with joy and smiles on people's faces, as they performed. To the Chinese culture, the lion signifies courage and stability, and its irresistible force is and its roar.
