The photograph of Buzz Aldrin standing next to the U.S. flag on the moon is among the most iconic images in U.S. history. The image was captured during the #Apollo11 mission, the first human-crewed mission to land on the Moon, on July 20, 1969. 🌙

Happy Flag Day!

On this day, 15th Feb, in 1965 is when the current flag was raised for the first time on Parliament Hill.

I went with à fairytale look for this digital illustration, and drew some of the most famous canadian birds on the margins.

Polish National Flag Day 🇵🇱

(Okay fine. I'm posting this after midnight but I drew this on the day, and I drew it wrong.)

Let's go into some history about the Canadian Flag!

So, 2025 is the 60th anniversary of the current Canadian flag. Talk about a long time. It was made official by a proclamation from the Queen in January 1965. On Feb. 15, it was inaugurated at Parliament Hill. This design was created by George Stanley out of the 3 final contestants for the flag.

Before the current flag, we had the Red Ensign, which had 3 iterations. This was the first one, which was only officially the naval flag in the 1890s. This was unofficially in use from the 1870s till 1921.

In 1921, King George V granted Royal Arms and shield. This was used during WW2.

And before these, it was just the Union Jack.
