It really has been forever since I updated my blog (one year almost to
the day!), but I want to share with you guys one of my most exciting
recent projects! It's an exhibition called <b>The Taste of Summer Fashion</b>
and it's in collaboration with <b><a href="http://news.k11.com/en/coolest_tastes_of_summer_fashion" target="_blank">K11</a></b>, a mall here in Hong Kong that
combines shopping and art.</div>
<br />

Their team had seen my Hong Kong Street Food art print (above) and wanted something similar for their fashion event for summer. Since<b> K11</b> prides itself on being the world's first Art Mall (they even have a <b><a href="http://www.yinkashonibarembe.com/home/" target="_blank">Yinka Shonibare</a></b> in the foyer) one of the mall's features are a group of these giant showcases built into each level of the shopping center and that was where I was going to exhibit my work.<br />

We decided on a Street Food x Fashion concept and I got to work sketching all 10 of the characters. I only had about 1 month for the project from conception to the final installation - so it was a bit crazy but I loved the feeling of diving into creating this world of characters.<br />

I've been watching a lot of <b>Ru Paul's Drag Race</b> this year so when coming up with the ideas for each character I would ask myself "If this was the theme for the runway challenge what would I make and wear?" <br />
<br />
Here are all the Misses I created for the exhibition each inspired by a food item commonly eaten here in Hong Kong:<br />

Hello guys from New York City!<br />
I'm here again this summer in one of my favourite cities in the world, I love being here in during the summer months so much. This year, I'm taking two continuing education classes at <a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwic5ZXMsZXOAhXCGB4KHUhWBtEQFggdMAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sva.edu%2F&usg=AFQjCNG1nWoCJao1abPuol2cVgGlC_Cpfw&sig2=6zOPu1b87hE7qeqWIUEAsQ&bvm=bv.128450091,d.dmo" target="_blank">The School of Visual Arts</a>, Intro to Animation - where I made this little gif, it was my first time working on a Cintiq!<br />
<br />
Since being in the States I've been having so much fun playing with the makeup looks that are trendy here, hellooooo nude, brown and mauve liquid matte lipsticks and super defined brown eyeshadows. I've been obsessed with watching makeup videos while I've been here, so this little gif is an ode to all those Youtube gurus and to those much coveted Kylie Lip Kits. True Brown K?<br />
<br />
On the other days, I'm also taking an etching class, I love the hands on aspect of print-making so much and wished I got to do it more in Hong Kong.<br />
<br />
With all these different art activities, museum hopping and picnicking by the Hudson river on the weekends I really feel I like I'm at summer camp. It's been so nice to relax here and experiment creatively after a busy year. I'm so so happy.<br />
<br />
Hope you guys are having a great summer too! Don't forget to take some time off for yourself and learn something new.<br />
<br />

Guess what! Thanks to the wonderful folks at <b>Fashionary</b>, you can now go check out one of my illustrations on display
at <b>Metrobooks</b> in Times Square. They organized an exhibition for the book store's grand opening at Times Square in Causeway Bay featuring 9 other talented illustrators from around the world.<br />

I thought this would be a really good chance for me to make a whole <b>Fashionary</b> blog post as I also got to lead a really amazing fashion illustration workshop with them this past March. It was in the gorgeous newly renovated <b>Page One </b>bookstore in TST. I was really nervous but I spent a few weeks prepping with the awesome team at Fashionary. <br />
<br />
This is always my strategy. I always think about this quote by <b>John C Jay</b>, <b>Wieden+Kennedy</b>’s Executive Creative Director, if I have a new project I'm really nervous about: "Work harder than anyone else and you will always benefit from the effort.". I just make sure I do lots of prepping and practicing and set aside time to do so and then I can confidently walk into that project and really feel excited about doing it. This strategy has always served me really well (ok, minus that one time I tried to design a complete wedding suite on Adobe Illustrator, CTRL + ALT + DELETE! I still don't really know how AI works.).<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
After a short demo, everyone settled down with their own set of
watercolours and <b>Fashionary</b> template paper and I lead us with step by
step directions on how to create the illustrations, first using pencil to sketch, Copic markers for the skin and then finally watecolour for the clothing. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We then practiced the face on a separate piece of paper before committing to drawing it on our final illustration, it takes the pressure off and you know what they say, practice makes <strike>perfect</strike> progress.<br />

I finally blogged! It's been forever, I've been hanging out all summer long in the greatest city in the world, New York City! And it really is the greatest city, there are a million great events to go to everyday, <a href="http://kittynwong.blogspot.com/2015/06/illustrations-rowing-blazers.html">drawing events</a>, <a href="https://instagram.com/p/58l44qJPub/?taken-by=kittynwong" target="_blank">comic jams</a>, outdoor movies, yoga in Central Park. And yesterday was <b>Sophia Amoruso</b>'s paperback book launch for #GIRLBOSS at Barnes & Noble in Union Square.<br />
<br />
I remember first discovering the<a href="http://www.google.com/aclk?sa=l&ai=C_11AD6YMVoakBpG7hAStmaDIBIHyw6AI6drD3nr4huTBCQgAEAFgycapi8Ck2A-gAZenzuADyAEBqgQnT9C3_7aVmqIzHS99ZZ-xHRgP9hKGTlQfab5uyyeYCyXZfXs2HvRfgAfR2LEfiAcBkAcCqAemvhvYBwE&sig=AOD64_1DQ4kqs_5Q4wQ6Pll1KhKWSqTnTw&clui=0&rct=j&q=&ved=0CBsQ0QxqFQoTCL6T7IaooMgCFcFxPgodfOcBow&adurl=http://www.nastygal.com/" target="_blank"> Nasty Gal website</a> in university when one of my cool girl classmates told me about it, I loved it and always checked back to see what was new. They have such a strong look. You could just tell all the women at the event were huge fans too, everyone had that Nasty Gal 'look', there was lots of black, in mesh, lace <i>and</i> lacey mesh, 'marsala' (which Sophia said was huge for this season), floppy hats, dark lips and platform shoes. So while we waited for the event to start, there was a lot of marshaling to be done seeing as there were 500+ eager gals there, I made some sketches to pass the time. <br />
<br />
Sophia had lots of awesome wisdom tid-bits during the talk, some of my faves were:<br />
<br />
"<b>Money looks better in your bank than on your feet.</b>" <i>Cha-Ching! So true. </i><br />
<br />
<i>On creating your dream job.</i><br />
"<b>Professionalize what you love doing, that's what I did with vintage clothing.</b>"<br />
<br />
<i>From a Q+A from an aspiring stylist.</i><br />
"<b>Take quality photos of all your looks, get a Squarespace. Archive everything.</b>"<br />
<br />
Well you know I love female role models (<a href="http://kittynwong.blogspot.com/2015/04/illustration-hillary-clinton-for.html">Hi Hillary!</a>) and the entrepreneur spirit, so of course I can't wait to finally read the book. Plus! The book has amazing badassy illustrations by <a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CB4QFjAAahUKEwjiyPD2p6DIAhUEdj4KHbtKD0k&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.jocandraw.com%2F&usg=AFQjCNGpJokg0_xWfZQRoPEpLF7mxyToPw&sig2=dKIIa0gWtSIe37vcBzKIEw" target="_blank">Jo Radcliffe</a>. <br />

One of the super awesome things I've been enjoying about New York is the<a href="http://kittynwong.blogspot.com/2015/06/illustrations-rowing-blazers.html" target="_blank"> endless live figure drawings sessions</a> that are happening all the time in the city. Last night we had one at the <b>School of Visual Arts</b> and I'm so happy I went (Sorry homework!).<br />
<br />
It was my first time doing a really long pose, when they announced the next pose was going to be two hours I initially thought "What am I going to do for two hours???" but I ran upstairs to my desk and grabbed my gouache palette and I was so happy with this piece which I finished during the two hour session.<br />

HELLO from NEW YORK CITY! <br />
A place so nice they named it twice. I've been busy busy since I got here about two weeks ago, I'm doing the illustration <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CB8QFjAAahUKEwiPmYuh1ZDGAhXrLIwKHQblBR8&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sva.edu%2Fspecial-programs%2Fsummer-residency-programs&ei=PDp-VY-LM-vZsASGypf4AQ&usg=AFQjCNEGTG1DnEeS24PtCIiywBJBvKfOkA&sig2=KLavls57b5tCbFEP-CEP1Q&bvm=bv.95515949,d.cWc" target="_blank">summer residency course here at the School of Visual Arts</a>, drawing non-stop and exploring this gigantic city. I've got a huge backlog of stuff I want to share with you guys, so much exciting stuff has been happening to me but unfortunately you can only be cool online or offline - not both, you greedy bastard!<br />
<br />
My eyeballs are burning while I'm writing - I need to go to bed. Do you guys even care that I write anything? Anyways, here are some pretty pictures and the illustrations from a cool event I got to go to last week it was the launch party of the book <i>Rowing Blazers</i>, it was hosted in the gorgeous and historic <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CCAQFjAAahUKEwidnre51JDGAhUELYwKHWNIDFQ&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nationalartsclub.org%2F&ei=Yzl-Vd3gG4TasATjkLGgBQ&usg=AFQjCNHy1LQhZj3-5KHAbFYcKDRPoTQ0PQ&sig2=eKBB0pyQzLBA52cKujE9Pg&bvm=bv.95515949,d.cWc" target="_blank">National Arts Club</a> and they had two models for the <a href="http://www.meetup.com/drawingnewyork/" target="_blank">drawing club</a> that usually meets there to draw from - and so I crashed the party! <br />

So excited to hear MAH GURL Hillary Clinton is running for president in 2016! So excited in fact I had to stay up past my bedtime to make this illustration to celebrate, I've been dreaming of a female president since I was a little girl. Maybe next year this little girl's dream will finally come true.<br />

Ok! Art Basel is probably the funnest month here in Hong Kong, there are a gazillion
events everywhere in the city and hot graffiti artists for you to swipe and meet on Tinder, not to
mention the show itself. Here are the streetstyle illustrations and photos spotted from my day there. </div>

I drew a boy! Even though my <a href="https://twitter.com/kittynwong" target="_blank">Twitter bio</a> says I don't know how to draw boys. The stylish visitor was wearing a Topman peacock tee-shirt against a giant swirling Sterling Ruby canvas at Gagosian - and you know I can't resist a good pattern or two. </div>

I always paint ladies but I'm really into the idea of painting some feminine fellas these days. I like how this portrait turned out a little bit androgynous. I was also <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/6755468167387960/" target="_blank">inspired by this photo</a> and from the anthurium flowers I took home after attending<a href="https://instagram.com/p/zt3VLMpPji/?modal=true" target="_blank"> 'poon choi', a traditional Chinese New Year eating feast</a>, at my friend's home village. Those flowers with their phallic baby corn stems always reminds me of Japanese minimalism in the 80's - my mom had all those flower arranging books in our basement. <br />

Wong Illustration " width="640" /></a></div>
A few months ago I got to work on a super exciting project for<a href="http://www.chowsangsang.com/en/Home" target="_blank"> <b>Chow Sang Sang</b></a>, a huge jewelry company here in Hong Kong. They asked me to illustrate the invitation for their 80th Anniversary Event. <br />
<br />
The marketing manager for the company had seen my work through a mutual contact's social media and reached out to me. Yay, finally my hours of aimless internetting are paying off - MOMMMMMM! <br />
<br />
The idea was to showcase their new line by using<a href="http://kittynwong.blogspot.hk/2013/02/ldezen.html" target="_blank"> an illustrated model and photos of the real jewelry</a>. This would also give the client more flexibility if they
wanted to change up the pieces to be featured. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-daOOqPusLNs/VJFbVl5QweI/AAAAAAAAEIs/iH7AK2ZrLTQ/s1600/css-drknw.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Chow Sang Sang / Kitty N.

Wong Rough Sketch " width="640" /></a></div>
Here are the initial pencil roughs for the project, I really liked the last sketch with the gemstone background, but the client ended up going with Sketch A with a more mature vibe that's more in line with their market and with a more versatile single colour background. <br />
<br />
And good thing as the event ended up having to be reorganized - as the original event was centered around a yellow diamond that was being flown in especially for the event but due to traffic restrictions from <a href="http://instagram.com/p/tlAldKpPt_/?modal=true" target="_blank">Occupy Central (solidarity!) the date and theme had to be changed.</a> So pretty white pearls it was instead.<br />

Close up of the hand-drawn logo I did for the event illustration. I love hand drawing logos and lettering for illustrations that I make, it's a small detail that really unifies the image - plus picking fonts is literally the bane of my existence. <br />

Prada Baby, 2015.<br />
<br />
First day back at the desk, an one afternoon sketch to help me get back into the swing of things. Inspired by the <a href="http://ljplus.ru/img/h/e/hermes_is_god/prada_ss2006_sasha-pivovarova_005.jpg" target="_blank">Sasha Pivovarova for Prada ad</a>. I'm just such a fan of drawing shoes and little animals. <br />
<br />
Off to make dinner now, sooo hungry!<br />

<br />
Ahhhhhhh. Hi! My name is Kitty and I'm a 27 year old who can't understand the concept of time. <br />
In my head in no way can it be <a href="http://thisisnthappiness.com/post/106733445369/twenty-fifteen" target="_blank">2015, that feels way too far into the future</a> I remember exactly how January 2014 felt and it for sure doesn't feel like 365 days ago. "Where did this year go?" doesn't even begin to describe my sense of time diaspora. <br />
<br />
So, for some concrete proof that I didn't spend all year looking at Instagrams of dogs in bed it's fun to look back on all the work I made this year. <a href="http://kittynwong.blogspot.hk/2014/02/change-is-hard-2014-new-years.html">Did I get better?</a> I definitely painted less and started to rely more on the quick ballpoint
pen sketches which I then coloured digitally. I guess that's what style
is, just something you end up doing out of habit. You do it more and more and become more confident at it and it's a positive feedback loop. <br />
<br />
Maybe it's because I did more traveling this year (yay!) but I remember each month so clearly, which is a nice feeling because usually when I look back on the year it's all one giant blur. Having something special to look forward to and remember every few months really gives a nice sense of division to the year.<br />
<br />
The only thing I really regret is not having made one single<b> </b><a href="http://kittynwong.blogspot.hk/search/label/fashion%20comics"><b>Intro to Fashion History</b> comic</a> all year, it's a project I kept meaning to do but it's so easy to put off personal projects, especially if they take a bit of planning and researching. I'm definitely going to have to change that in 2015. <br />
<br />
<b>How was your 2014? Did it zoom by for you as well? Are you also a refugee of 2014 floating across the oceans of time waiting for the right to land in the land of opportunity of 2015? I wanna hear all about it!</b><br />

Did you know Lorde was in town? Playing a secret concert for the opening of Prada's new exhibition Pradasphere in Hong Kong? No? Me either, but don't worry us plebes still got the chance to check out the fabulous exhibition housed in a temporary but glorious structure on top of Pier 4 in Central. <br />
<br />
You've never seen the Lamma Island pier look so glamourous, the whole building got a Prada makeover with <a href="http://iconosquare.com/p/868587263460737694_1289885095" target="_blank">'Yue Shue Wan' proclaimed in white letters on a sleek black background</a>. And when you step inside onto the lush black and green checkered carpeting you are transformed into Miuccia's world and the brand's history starting from the 1970's onwards. <br />

If it's one thing I love it's <a href="http://kittynwong.blogspot.hk/2012/06/ysl.html">visiting fashion exhibitions</a>. <br />
Here's
a few of the sketches I made at the exhibition, I love doing quick
sketches while looking at the real thing it makes all the difference in
making drawings with a lively immediate quality. After I got home I added a thin wash of colour in gouache and watercolour. <br />

Faces on things? That's literally my favourite thing, I even say that on my <a href="http://pinterest.com/kittynwong/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> bio so you know I'm for realsies. The <a href="http://www.google.com.hk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CB0QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.jeannedetallante.com%2F&ei=z6OFVKPfIpPU8gWw_oDQAg&usg=AFQjCNEk78tlSdDyhFk52cNLegLPW7V-LQ&sig2=WYtzar0dae_MF5tLaQIaAQ" target="_blank">Jeanne Detallante</a> collaboration is one of my favourites (but I say that every season). <br />
<br />
And last but not least may I present: WALL OF SHOES! This is what heaven is like, except there's no glass and back and foot pain isn't real. <br />

The prints are available on my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/hk-en/shop/themarrow" target="_blank">Etsy shop TheMarrow</a>, they'd make a gorgeous set framed for a girls room or the bathroom where tiny prints always look good in.<br />

One of my new years resolutions for 2014 was to make a zine and distribute it, but every time<a href="http://kittynwong.blogspot.hk/2014/06/i-went-to-london-and-i-update.html"> I came home from a trip I would begin to paint and make sketches for a zine </a>but I could never finish it. It starts getting tedious and arranging the pages seem really confusing to me. <br />
<br />
But! I finally found a solution! Instead of a zine, I made this illustrated postcard about my spontaneous trip to Japan in September: '5 Days in Tokyo'. It's short and sweet but still tells the story about what I ate, what I saw and what (or who, hahahaha!) I did. <br />

Like everyone else I like to talk forever about myself and my travels but this
condensed format doesn't really let me do that. Just little symbols and a sentence or two to explain each one.<br />
<br />
I also made 8 piece stickers out of the little illustrated objects, portable talisman I can stick anywhere to remind me of the good times I had on the trip. A seashell collected from <b>Kamakura</b> beach, an Iphone for OkCupid/Tinder holiday
flings, both fatty + lean tuna sushi from <b>Tsukiji Fish Market</b>, a sweet potato
with soulful little eyes, a cool Tokyoite girl spotted at <b>Omotesando</b>
shopping district and lastly the airplane window view of the perfectly
manicured Japanese farmland.<br />
<br />
I hope that people will look at the objects in the set and wonder what kind of story I'm trying to tell, like a puzzle you can decorate things with. <br />

Maybe it's the eternal student instinct in me but I love attending lectures, they're usually super interesting, a good opportunity for me to pretend to be a very serious scholar/artist, and if nothing else they present some nice downtime to make some doodles and people watch. <br /><br />And that's exactly what I did at the <b>Para Site</b> Conference for their "Is the Living Body the Last Thing Left Alive? The New Performance Turn, its Histories and its Institutions" series a few months ago. <br />

Last month I got a super exciting chance to create an original illustration for <b>Marks &
Spencer</b>! I love M&S, <a href="http://kittynwong.blogspot.hk/2014/06/may-tmi-this-month-i-live-drawing.html" target="_blank">when I was in England this summer</a> I stocked up on so many pairs black tights and comfy-cute bras. Plus they're so nice there, whenever I stop by the stores here in Hong Kong they always call me ma'am, I into that. <br />
<br />
Located in Lanson Hotel in Causeway Bay, M&S hosted the press event to present their A/W 2014 collection and to
celebrate their first time presenting at London Fashion Week. This was the first time I've ever been outfitted by a brand for their event, it was so much fun to pick out an outfit with the M&S team, after many maybe outfits I finally chose a body hugging mid-calf <b>Per Una</b> dress in a red and black geometric print paired with gold and silver accessories. I love how the dress is super comfy (girrrl, I gotta werk!) has a qi-pao vibe because of the length but it's still super modern because of the print and stretch knit fabric. <br />

Whenever I think of M&S I always think British so in addition to
drawing their spokesperson <b>Rosie Huntington-Whiteley</b> and <b>David Gandy</b> on
the pre-illustration, I of course had to include <b>Her Royal Highness The
Queen</b> and <b>Kate Middleton</b> with her wee little royal baby <b>Prince George</b>. <br />

It was such a busy event, with lots of guests and media in attendance to cover the new collection. Check out some super sweet mentions from <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/nothingwong/15395508488/in/photostream/lightbox/" target="_blank">More Sunday Magazine</a> and <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/nothingwong/15395896510/in/photostream/lightbox/" target="_blank">AM730</a> here. There were already a small line forming as I was setting up my table and I didn't stop my pen until the very end of the event. Luckily M&S had an on-site photographer who snapped these wonderful photos for us from the day. <br />
<br />
Some of the lovely ladies that I got to draw included <a href="http://sabrinasikoraphotography.com/" target="_blank">photographer <b>Sabrina Sikora</b></a>, <a href="http://instagram.com/mandsandthensome" target="_blank"><b>Jackaline </b>of MandSandThenSome</a> and writer <b><a href="http://instagram.com/eyes_of_michelle" target="_blank">Michelle Yeung</a></b>. <br />

One of my favourite quotes about feminism and beautification, but I think it also applies to a lot of other privileges in life as well.

Over the past year I've discovered that I love travelling so much! I can
really say that now, when I was younger I liked traveling, I knew it
was something that was important to like, but I didn't love-love-love
it. I was a bit scared of it and while abroad I would only ever do daytime activities and I would always make sure to retreat back to my hostel before it got dark out.<br />
<br />
Maybe it's getting older and having a little more experience and disposable income but with each trip I feel more and more liberated, I'm probably more adventurous and open to new experiences while I'm traveling now and I'm constantly scheming about how I can go on my next vacation. <br />

Marion Crepes, I read in my guide book this is the original place to get crepes in Harajuku and duh, you have to eat a crepe while shopping in Harajuku. It's the kawaii thing to do. But while it looks super cute in photos, the crepe was full of artificial cream and not very delicious. <br />

This month I also got to work with the amazing <b>Marks and Spencer</b> team to create an illustration for their A/W 2014 press preview event where I got to live draw some of the media guest right into the illustration alongside <b>Her Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth</b>, <b>Kate Middleton</b> and <b>M&S</b> spokespersons <b>Rosie Huntington-Whiteley</b> and <b>David Gandy</b>. <br />
<br />
They were also kind enough to outfit me in this amazing graphic print Per Una dress and little black patent t-strap heels. I felt soh kyute! <br />

One of my absolute favourite photographers came to do a lecture in Hong Kong! <b>Martin</b>! <b>Parr</b>! <br />
<br />
Speaking of traveling, it was on a trip to Paris where I was first introduced to Parr's work. I saw an ad for one of his exhibitions <span class="st">"Planète</span> Parr" on show at the <b>Jeu de Paume</b> on the Paris Metro (ah, the wonderful exhibition ads in the Paris and London subways, how I love thee) and I just had to go. <br />
<br />
After hearing him speak and explain his process a little, I don't even know how else to describe the man except that he's just soooo coool. Blog post to come soon!<br />

After every trip I always get post-vacation blues, I love being able to roam around a city all day, have travel buddies to hang out with all the time and meet new people and it can be so jarring to switch back to home/work mode. Good thing I bought a lot of souvenirs in Japan all complete with cute packaging like this sake juice box, it even comes with a straw. Weirrrrrd. <br />

"We can dress up for our own pleasure, but we must speak up for our rights." - <b>Naomi Wolf</b>.<br />
<br />
That quote is often how I feel about living in Hong Kong, we love our hedonistic pleasures here but we also have a lot of freedom and while we should enjoy them we shouldn't forget that this freedom is a privilege and we should make sure we stand up to protect it. I made this little sketch to support the <b>Occupy Central</b> protests that have been going on. <br />

To finish off this month of Tokyo hopping and face-drawing, here is a favourite portrait from the live sketching job I did for <b>Tiffany & Co</b> a few weeks ago for their in-store event. The guest was even wearing the exact shade of Tiffany blue, how perfect. <br />

RIP <b>Lauren Bacall</b>, she along with <b>Marilyn Monroe</b> were two of my favourite old Hollywood stars. I used to watch <i><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oyJHM5RtbA" target="_blank">How to Marry A Millionaire</a></i> on repeat in my early teens. I'll still put it own whenever I'm feeling down. That broad sure was on the level. <br />

Do you guys know about <b><a href="http://www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/2014/old-master-q-original-works-alphonso-wong-hk0513.html" target="_blank">Old Master Q</a></b>? <span class="st"><b>老夫子</b>! O</span>hhh my gosh, I can't even begin to tell you how much I love this comic. As a kid living in Hong Kong, I used to go for dim sum with my grandma every weekend and each time she would give me a few bucks to go down to the newsstand to buy the new issue of Old Master Q so I would sit still for a even just a second during the meal. They were selling originals (!) at <b>Sotheby'</b>s, I got a chance to check out the exhibition and most of the pieces still had me laughing out loud. So much love. </div>

I've been so into night hiking this month, I've been challenging myself each week with a hike from Wong Tai Sin to Sha Tin Wai and it feels so good to see myself improving. And the hike itself is magical too, monkeys (ok, sometimes scary), lighting bugs and the trail ends just 5 mins from the MTR. Ugh! Too good. I drew this little sketch after a walk along the Tai Po Promenade where the sampans were parked for the night, romantic!<br />

</div>
A few months ago<a href="http://bagaholicboy.com/category/tods/" target="_blank"> Bagaholic Boy</a> asked me to create a few illustrations for him to celebrate his upcomping trip to attend the Tod's runway show in Milan. Such a fun job, although I've never been to Italy before (I did work in an Italian restaurant during university, ciao Giovanna!) I <i>have </i>eaten a lot of pasta. I did some research and went on a little sightseeing tour of Milan on the interwebs and found the landmarks that were most representative of the city. I finally settled on the Arc of Peace, the Arco della Pac at "Porta Sempione". <br />
<br />
I almost never draw architeture so this was a fun challenge, notice the bronze goddess at the top riding in her chariot with the little D-Cube Micro Bowler in the crook of her arm. They seeeeeee her rollin' they hatin' (even in Ancient Greece Chamillionaire is relevant). <br />

Surely not wood,<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kq7DDk8eLs8" target="_blank"> that thing would explode into a mountain of flames as soon as I cast off</a>. A metal dingy? No way, the river is made of rocks that are so hot they're melted. Get rrrrreal. <br />
<br />
Anyways, that's how I felt this month. This summer month just drifted by idyllically while I binged watched a lot of <i>Orphan Black</i> and now before I know it it's already August.<br />

July has been a slow painting month - I told you I'm currently drifting (adrift is probably more accurate) down the molten river of summer laziness. Here's a WIP shot of the redhead painting I've been slowly working on - hawt.<br />

A few loose and fast streetstyle fashion figures I painted in gouache, pencil and charcoal. I made these a couple of months ago to use in a promo to advertise my<a href="http://kittynwong.blogspot.hk/search/label/livesketch"> new live fashion illustration service</a>, then I got super busy and never had a chance to share them with you guys on the blog. So, here they are now!<br />
<br />
My favourite is the first one inspired by this photo of<a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/226094843764072065/" target="_blank"> Arizona Muse</a>, I love mini-dresses, and especially with her mile long legs in those over the knee boots, muah! <br />
