          NEW YORK, Feb. 21 (Xinhua) -- Chinese-American artist Kam Mak, who designed nine Chinese Lunar New Year stamps for the U.S. Postal Service (USPS), will lead a stamp-making workshop at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (MET) in New York City on Saturday.

          Mak's workshop is part of dozens of engaging programs offered by the MET as the largest U.S. art museum hosts its annual Lunar New Year Festival Celebrations from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Saturday.

          In 2008, Mak was selected by the USPS to create an annual stamp through 2019 for its Celebrating Lunar New Year series. The Year of the Dog stamp was his latest creation.

          The dog-themed stamp is a gorgeous picture that centers on three elegant, twisting lucky bamboo. A red paper decorated with the Chinese character Fu indicates good fortune, while a dog, rendered as a traditional paper cutout, waves from the upper-left corner.

          The subtle canine was designed by late Chinese-American artist Clarence Lee, who created the very first Lunar New Year-themed stamp the USPS issued.

          The Chinese Lunar New Year is named after zodiac animals, with a total of 12 on a circle -- Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig.
