Home and Town

--- Home and Town ---

After Garden 1910, I began my new project Home and Town (市集与小屋). I like creating works with strong seasonal marks, especially living in New York, where you experience a breathlessly beautiful autumn. So I just staring the poetic world outside my window, and putting everything I dream to experience into these drawings. The world keeps changing, which I can tell from the foliage color, the sound of raindrops, the pace of footsteps, the fruit in market ......I know it suddenly gets chilly recently, wish my new works warm you up.

A Moment in Many Times

Image may contain: cartoon, drawing and illustration

A moment in many times, a myth and tales reading night in a cozy cabin, at foot of snow mountain. They say a giant fierce white bear hiding inside the heart of the hill. If you pray for a safe climbing trip, better to bring the bear into deep sleeping by tell bedtime stories overnight. Thus a story night became a ritual for every explorers stepping into this icy land.

New Year Market

New Year Market，according to one chapter from an ancient book written in Song Dynasty, describing the shopping scene during holiday. I transcribed the article in my notebook first to help me digest the content. Besides working as freelance illustrator, I am setting up a traditional kids cloth brand NianYi 年衣，with another partner and out team in Beijing. I created this work as our 2019 winter season campaign, where the kids dressing up out latest items.
