Marionettes, Inc.

During the third term in my year in Camberwell, we were asked to do an illustration project by choosing one story out of the four given. I went for Ray Bradbury's Marionettes, Inc. I turned the four illustrations into a booklet. Here it is:

Manhattan Mono


Portrait of Charlie Chaplin


Portrait of Harold Lloyd

2012

One of our assignments for the spring term was to design four posters for the Manhattan Mono Film Festival featuring five silent film comedians. Interested in the screen-printing technique, I used it to create my own style of portraits. 

Me


2011

Our second task of the first term was imagined drawing. My topic was "How to Get the Sums Right." For me, my sum can be expressed in colorful dots because I am made up of colors.

The Shoes


2011

In the autumn of 2011, I came to London to study illustration in the FDA program of Camberwell School of Arts, UAL. We were asked to do observation drawings of an object of our own choosing. I chose my sneakers, which took me on a fantastic journey to the UK.


This drawing was the collaborative effort of me, my friends Jazel and Caterina. We made it in a lovely cafe on a beautiful autumn day in Camden Town. Upon seeing it, I am always reminded of the beautiful moments we shared then.

Etsy design




2011

I tried my hand at design for my webshop My Little Room on the Etsy website. It was nice to know that they received positive reviews!

Slow


2011 

In this series of works, I tried to incorporate Chinese calligraphy into illustration. Suffering from a fast-paced life, I made it a habit to practice Chinese calligraphy on a regular basis, hoping it would slow me down and master the art of zen.


And I hoped eventually I wouldn't have to take medicine for my stomachache problem.

Passion, Spain


2010

This series is about my solo journey in Spain. I have met people who relate to my loneliness. 


In the end, I find a place among strangers because I see a bit of myself in everyone's story...

Mr. Sun


2010 

Mr. Sun finds that he is no longer loved by humankind. People shun him because of his burning heat, which really breaks his heart. 



He discovers by chance that there is a vast world of underground transportation in which people don't have to be exposed to sunlight. It is during his adventure that people realize they can't live without Mr. Sun. But he learns to love them more tenderly.

The Journey


2009

This is a textless picture book that tells the story of those who have the courage to take the road less trodden and go on a journey they dream of when the world thinks they have everything.


I myself was influenced by the story because it took me to London to go after my dream of being an illustrator two years later. 

LOVE


2009

This was my yearly Valentine's gift for my nephew Von. I want him to know that he is loved by a lot of people.



And he is capable of loving them back and changing the world with his love.
