Recent Work / Dinner Party Seating Arrangements for Hong Kong Tatler

Kitty N. Wong / Dinner party illustration for Hong Kong Tatler
A simple, bright, clean illustration for an new article from Hong Kong Tatler on whether couples should be split or sat together at dinner parties? The illustration was inked in ballpoint pen (Stabilo Liner 808 F, naturally) and coloured digitally.

I'm for split in case you were wondering, dinner parties are for meeting new people! What do you guys think? Separate or together? Also, invite me to dinner parties you fancy pants!

As always, thanks to the wonderful editor Charmaine.

If Fashion Week was a Horror Film / My Halloween Fashion Comic for Dazed & Confused

It feels surreal but my very first illustration feature with Dazed Digital is out now, they're the online companion to Dazed & Confused magazine. I used to buy secondhand copies of i-D and Dazed magazines at the huge BMV bookstore in downtown Toronto during 1st year university and I used to leaf through them thinking how cooool are all these people? And then I'd carefully cut out my favourite pages and save them for collaging, but after 1st year university I ran out of money and stopped buying magazines and just bought food instead.

So needless to say I'm super excited to be working with Dazed for this Halloween feature, "If Fashion Week was a Horror Film". 

There are 5 storyboards, with each image being it’s own story about the designer and their dark S/S 2014 collection:

1. Rei Kawakubo and her Commes des Garcons girl gang.
2. Marc Jacobs's Louis Vuitton circus.
3. The Maison Martin Marigela laboratory.
4. Meadham Kirchhoff's heaven and hell.
5. Thom Browne's mental asylum.

Recent Work / Food Waste Illustration for Hong Kong Tatler

Just a quick little update on my first and newest illustration for HongKongTatler.com! The illo was for an article about food waste in the city and is written by the amazing Janice Leung Hayes AKA e*Ting. I was super excited to work on this because hello Tatler! And also because I love promoting/living life as a composting hippie. Thank you so much to the editor Charmaine for the opportunity! You can read the article here.
