I am currently working on images for Digby & Iona for their new line inspired by 200 years old etchings. Here is some images I’ve done, which were art directed to be simple and line-based figures wearing their products, with brown color scheme. Fashion illustration is always fun.
I really love their diamond cufflinks! check their website out at www.digbyandiona.com

Bar Sauce
This project was done for Bar Sauce’s mural in April 2012.
Sauce is a bar that celebrates the imagination & magic of fairy tales. It, however, steers away from the overtly fantastical & childish depiction of fairy tales. At Sauce, the Disney version of fairy tales are replaced by the grown up versions with cheeky & mischievous twists. The mural images contains playful, with a tinge of dark humour, while at the same time keeping it magical for our audiences’ inner child.
Art Directed by Creative Director Bobby Luo of The Butter Factory Pte Ltd., Singapore. The work is scheduled to be featured in CAMPUS MAG Magazine of the Summer 2012 Issue.

This was so much of fun - I’d love to have more mural projects!
Special thanks to bobby, yen, and jon :)
Thanks to all who came to the opening last night!
Unlike other opening reception at galleries, people who came to the opening could sit around and talk to each other with tea and coffee - which was nice and cozy. I loved that my work will be the part of the community and will be seen to locals whom I won’t be able to see my work normally.
The show will be up until June 18th, if you are around please stop by! They have great coffee from MUD and wifi :) – Fab Cafe, 75 east 4th street New York
Now back to the dream book project, I shall lock myself in until I finish the jacket artwork…..

I am currently in Korea, visiting my family.
(I still have two days more here, will be back to nyc soon.)
This is what i can see here everywhere not only subway, perhaps.
Lately had a chance to paint with gauche - just a little fun tries…
I’ve been working on the last few spreads for Dream Friends (will be published in Spring 2013 by Penguin Books)
and this is how I am making a mess.
it’s cleaner now…. (i think)
:)
I cannot believe it’s almost done - many thanks to Nancy Paulsen and Cecilia Yung for encouraging me to squeeze the art work out.
Last night I was Knock-Off Artist at 2011 Flux Factory Annual Not-So-Silent Annual Art Auction and Gala, the event was held in Chelsea.
so this is how coming along…..
why do i struggle so much with coloring always? Good color scheme takes just one right color, sometimes. In this case, the green metal thing of the swing. From that color, I will again start adjusting other colors in the scene. Hope I can finish it by tonight.
Remember the post below? This is how it came out from the sketch.
Struggled so much for planning, but now so far it’s my favorite spread.
Cannot wait to color it - Great art direction from Cecilia Yung and Nancy Paulsen, they gave me a suggestion that the real world should look like a real world, which has lead me to get real references and researches for this spread. I tend to draw everything like a fantasy world, so it was quite of fun to draw in a different way.
Lately I am working on a children’s book - and I’ve just realized, I drew 4 different scenes which are held in playground with all different perspectives. Struggling to figure out a perfect playground layout that satisfies all 4 scenes, and this is a almost-final sketch for a playground design. I hope none of playground professionals would pick my book up and email me that it’s wrong to layout like this….
