Because people seemed to like the original post so much, here are some more examples of chumak iconography.

Iconography on dried fish began to be painted in the 19th century by Ukrainian fish and salt merchants, called “chumaks”. They brought their goods from the Black and Azov Seas using carts pulled by oxen, and then sold them at street markets. Chumaks spent a lot of time on the road. They attached such images to their carts, probably as travel icons, in the same way as some modern Christians place icons in their cars It is possible that chumaks chose fish as the material for their icons not by chance, since the fish is one of the oldest Christian symbols. In Greek, ichthys is an acronym meaning “Jesus Christ, Son of God, Saviour”. It is also possible that the traditional wooden base was much more expensive than dried fish and quickly deteriorated under the influence of sun and precipitation

URGENT COMMISSIONS

right now I'm in a bad mental state, and while I have a day job, it's barely enough to cover my mental health expenses.

all money from the commissions will go towards paying for my therapy, and for a safety pillow in case I need to be hospitalized

If you want to help me but don't have money for a commission, you can also buy my sketchbook on gumroad or purchase my prints here

please share the post ❤️‍🩹
