Hey @cabel thank you for the complement. I am the designer who made this.

For those who are wondering what methods I used, it's my own hand writing scanned in at 600 dpi. Photoshopped and placed. I also lined up the bleed through with the front of the piece so it looks real.

"Thanks to a spelling mistake this bizarre beaver-tiger hybrid became the symbol of a Siberian town"
AO:
The symbol of Irkutsk, Russia, is a mythological monster known as the babr. When the city first created its coat of arms in the 1600s, it used “babr,” an old local word, to describe a Siberian tiger. Sadly, as the years went on, tigers became extirpated and the chosen word fell out of fashion.
In the late 19th century, when officials in Saint Petersburg were tasked with redrawing the city’s coat of arms, they were baffled by the strange, foreign-looking word. Thinking someone had accidentally misspelled bobr (beaver), they took it upon themselves to concoct an entirely new creature.

"A colossal statue of a Chinese god has been unceremoniously covered up by a giant white sheet in Indonesia after upsetting the local Muslim population"
Sha:
The 30.4-meter-tall statue reportedly cost 2.5 billion Indonesian rupiahs ($187,000) to build and was funded by private donations to the Kwan Sing Bio Temple in Tuban, East Java.
It was publicly unveiled last month at a ceremony held inside the temple that was attended by prominent local politicians. Billed as the largest statue of Guan Yu in Southeast Asia, it was hoped that the colossus might help to attract more tourists to the city.

Enthroned George Washington
Horatio Greenough was commissioned by the US Congress to create a statue of George Washington for display at the U.S. Capitol. Greenough based "Enthroned Washington" on Phidias' statue of Zeus Olympios, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The statue is posed to symbolize Washington turning over power to the people at the conclusion of the American Revolutionary War.
However,
few on Capitol Hill seemed ready for a half-naked father-of-the-country with well-developed and fully exposed shoulder muscles. His upraised right arm, draped with what appeared to be a towel across his biceps, gave the impression that he was preparing for a bath. Within weeks, incensed members of Congress demanded the work’s removal.After being mistreated for several years, the statue was eventually moved to its current home at the National Museum of American History. Via.
