HongKong Christmas!

Happy Holidays Everyone!
I’ve been working on this project since late summer and finally it’s done!
It’s a holiday installation in a department store in Hong Kong.
I designed the background and the characters, and some products for their holiday season.  Here are some pictures and the original sketches!

It’s a very interesting feeling when you design something in 2D on paper, then it goes out of your hands and someone else fabricate them in 3D life size installation.  I have never seen my characters in life size which I’m super excited about! Hope kids in HongKong will enjoy this decorations!!!

If you know anyone in Hong Kong please pass it along.
Here are the info:

Ready for Society of Illustrators show / Annual book

poster_framed
Bali_dreamAll Framed and ready to go!
I have 3 pieces in Society of illustrators show and their annual book.
“Hanabi Monster”, “Amarillo poster”, and “Bali Dream”

“Hanabi Monster” silk screen poster was made for the events this Summer for Rojo Bermelo in Mexico City + Monterrey (Mexico)

“Amarillo Poster” silk screen poster was made for my exhibition at Amarillo design center in Xalapa (Mexico) also this summer.

I’m very happy that those two got selected because they are my favorite clients and my dear friends, and I the Mexico trip this summer for me was the high light of this year :)  Thank you Rojo Bermelo and Amarillo!

“Bali dream” is a large size gouache painting on wooden panel made for 3 person exhibition “Creamy Cat” at the Lower East Side this Fall.
This is a personal piece which I got inspiration from visiting Indonesia this May.
I’m making this series bigger now so it’s a nice encouragement patting my back from society of illustrators.

Here is the info for the exhibition, please come if you are in the area!
