Daily fashion illustration #63 or Circus

The Circus is coming to town!
Shanghai is a daily Circus itself - inspiring, insane, colorful, full with contrasts, life, joy, fight, pajamas, smells, funny animals, shifu's, ayi's.. Best gallery you can exhibit your work...

Daily fashion illustration #62 The Circus Is Coming To Town!

Just spent two days on my bike in Shanghai posting my new series CIRCUS posters. It was great fun as Shanghainese people where quite interested, helpful and very often funny ( especially kids) Often I was asked where Circus is going to perform. I think Shanghai it self is the best gallery you can find in this city as the background is very often mind blowing. Who needs white gallery walls when you have so much better frame and public to show you work.

There are days i hate this city so much...I could never imagine living in such a big city like Shanghai and feeling lonely. Shanghai is like a bubble, big fake bubble..

I am back! After almost one year break I v decided to continue with my blog. One of the reasons I stopped was lack of time to scan and retouch, but. But now i realised that it is not that important as ts is more like my diary not portfolio...

I am still in Shanghai, had some exhibitions, my drawings has been published in a books like The Great Big Book of Fashion Illustration by Martin Dawber, 

I am still drawing and want to share my fashion illustrations  with YOU! And I finally know what i want to do with my life...

Daily Fashion Illustration #41

I think this girl has quite strong English Renaissance influence ( maybe it has something to do with my History of Costume classes as I am teaching this subject# Raffles design Institute (Shanghai) this term. There is a really nice movie about Queen Elisabeth, so far the best I have seen: Elizabeth I.
