Cover illustration for City University of Hong Kong Press
Cover Illustration and Chapter Illustrations
做個A+青少年：積極心理學必修的8堂課
City University of Hong Kong Press 2008
The finalized cover illustration was based loosely on the Sai Kung Town scene. See if you know which part of Sai Kung Town I am depicting.
This one was the first version of the cover but was discarded cause the editor thought the youth was too alone and the scene too depressing.

New Painting in Progress
A new painting in progress. It's an exercise painting based on Rebecca Guay's "Beauty and the Unicorn" The original was painted with gouache on paper but I'm using acrylic and texture paste instead. I am also going to change the coins in the shell to roses.
Do visit her website: http://www.rebeccaguay.com/
Her paintings are wonderful!
Jockey Club Creative Arts Centre
Central Courtyard at Jockey Club Creative Arts Centre
Front View of the Jockey Club Creative Arts Centre. Shek Kip Mei, Hong Kong. It was once an old factory building and is now converted into an artist village jointly operated by the Hong Kong Baptist University and the Hong Kong Art Centre. It's an interesting place where you will see many genres of art, puppetry, western oil paintings, Chinese painting, dance, sculpture, wood work, traditional Chinese music instrument...you name it!

It's based on a lion dance/dragon dance parade which was held during the Sai Kung Tin Hau Birthday Celebration. Placed on an easel, you will have a better idea of the real size of the painting.

Two paintings and One Print
This one with the little girl in the stream was conceived while I was wandering along a stream near Sheung Yiu, Sai Kung. I called the painting "Sai Kung Alice" cause that little girl reminded me of Alice's adventure in Wonderland.
"Enjoying the Sun" is based on a rough sketch I did in an outing to Clear Water Bay, Sai Kung. It was a wonderful afternoon with the sun shining brightly and yet the weather was cool and pleasant.
The print of the "Sai Kung Fish Market" was based on a sketch I did during daytime. The color and early morning mood were all imagination. I remember someone told me the dim morning sunlight should be on the other side of the picture, so I made a mistake. Wonder if the person who bought it will ever notice it.

HK International Printing & Packaging Fair 2008
HK International Printing & Packaging Fair 2008
The Hong Kong Society of Illustrators had set up a booth at the fair at AsiaWorld-Expo showcasing profiles of and artworks created by a group of talented and very enthusiastic local illustrators and art practitioners. Happy that I was one of them who could display my work and yet sad as I couldn't find time to help out and interact with people at the venue.
