A Fancy Dreamland: “Asteria Land” by Alice Chan

Alice Chan, a modern, chic and fancy Hong Kong illustrator. 

You may find her work quite familiar since her creations have been adopted by many big brands like Levis, Anna Sui, MTV, Sportmax, etc.  Her work could also be seen in lots of trendy fashion magazines and  many window decorations.

Alice’s drawings are very decorative and stylish.  Those pretty girls are with big eyes, pretty faces, modern outfits and accessories.  The colours she used are always fancy and cheerful.  No wonder she is a favourite of so many fashion brands.

You can’t imagine how gorgeous and interesting Alice’s website could be.  Do wander around Alice’s website and have fun.  There are some comics drawn by Alice and I am sure you would like them.

And here is Alice’s blog, for those who are obssessed with Alice’s pretty creations, you would certainly like reading her blog and know more about her.

One more thing I wish to mention about Alice is that she herself is a very pretty girl, just like the character she has created.  Let’s see a photo of her under her Levi’s project:

Alice is now having an exhibition in the Stitch Tokyo of Shibuya, Japan, from 5 Oct 07  to 10 Nov 07.  If you are getting around in Tokyo, do not miss her exhibition.

Another pretty and lovely drawing done by my friend. 

The baby girl is “walking” much faster than her “lazy bear” toy.  Very funny!

Thanks a lot, my dear friend.  Your drawing is great!

relaxing sunday: short cartoon from Yannick Puig

Yannick, a young Spanish CG Artist, has created this lovely and imaginative cartoon piece in 2005.  I wish you enjoy it too.

Carrie Chau - the black sheep collection

Carrie Chau, an illustration artist in Hong Kong, just finished her “Black Sheep Exhibition” at Hong Kong Times Square in the Causeway Bay.

Starting as an illustration artist, Carrie’s art work is full of decorative elements and details.  The characters in her art creation are somehow colourful, childlike and similar to the characters on stage or in a circus.  The characters maybe some metaphors to ourselves, i.e. there are always abnormal and yet pretty elements in ourselves.

In a radio programme just rolled out today, Carrie talked about art: “the teaching of art, i.e. the true, kind and beauty (”真善美” in Chinese) is important, since those are the senses of true, kind and beauty which could improve the world.”  This is the objective of Carrie’s art work, and this is the objection of her lovely characters.

Some photos from the Black Sheep Exhibition:

Carrie’s latest exhibition just ended in mid September 07, “the Black Sheep”, was very well received. 

There are some accessories and products from Carrie now being sold in various retail shops in Hong Kong.  And Carrie has opened her own shop in Central of Hong Kong, I do love visiting her shop and saying hello to her lovely characters.

If you like Carrie’s work, you may check her out at her blog: Carrie Chau’s Blog.
