Why did you choose to enter this work?
I don’t see this is a competition, but a chance to showing goodwill and putting a smile on people’s face. Which means that Guangcai is all about the hybrid of different cultures.
What’s your favourite thing about your shortlisted project?
My style can be smoothly mixed with Guangcai art, in the same time it is contemporary and down to earth.

As my work is not a typical illustration work, I am very excited about showing that illustration really doesn't have limits, and how one can value art, history, story and friendship.
Where do you usually work?
Hong Kong is a very small place, we living in tiny home, I usually draw at the dining table when it is empty and think of ideas and drafts in coffee shops.

Around a month.

To make history and art in a contemporary way that makes history and art live on in our everyday life.

Story telling with historical and literature themes.

Read a lot of different kind of books.

Using Guangcai and illustration as an art form to contribute history stories, and make it friendly to people.
