Amazing illustrations from Asia are getting together.
Maybe the best asian illustrators portal I've ever seen. Highly recommended!
Lots of good shit.
A tremedously rich source of articles and links to artists either working in Asia or of Asian descent living elsewhere.
If you like the mix on Lines and Colors, and Drawn!, I think you'll appreciate the nice stwe of styles , genre and approaches in contemporary Asian art that the blogs' creators, Josef Lee and Sam Lay. are constantly cooking up.
Kinda like Drawn! but focusing on one continent where alot of exciting things are happening.
A great site for keeping up with new artists in Asia. I have been blown away by the quality and diversity of style of the artists they feature.
Lovely stuff
This is seriously the place to visit if you have any remotest interest in art and illustration.
an Asian drawing portal that seriously rocks

Everything Turns To Gold
Writing by Oat Montien on 28 Nov 2009 12:54 PM

A stunning project called "Everything Turns To Gold" by a digital illustrator, Lydia Wong. Her narrative illustrations based around the concept of Chinese government's "Golden Shield project", regarding censorship in mainland China. With digital collage as her weapon of choice,she mix various political symbols and figures from traditional Chinese propaganda poster together, creating a beautiful set of imagery with powerful messages underneath.


Wong recently won V&A Student Illustrator of the Year 2009 award and now working as a freelance artist in London.

Lokman Lam

Much is yet to be written about this talented 30 year old freelance illustrator from Hong Kong. Lokman Lam's sexy illustrations of female charachters reveal beautifully painted skin, face, and body contour. 

He previously worked with Imagi International (artists of the upcoming Astroboy Film) as Art Director and Sing tao News Corp (Chief Illustrator) before going full time on freelance Illustration.

Dominique Fung
Dominique Fung, who was born and raised in Ottawa, Ontario and has roots to Hong Kong, still has a year left of school at Sheridan College but already has some pretty amazing work. I especially like Requiem (top piece)- a painting that will be part of the Fresh Faces exhibit in LA.

She spent this summer interning for illustrator and artist James Jean (well that certainly isn't bad, is it?) and plans to pursue art full-time after school, either in LA or New York.

Watch out for more of Dominique as she is scheduled to show in galleries from San Diego to Philadelphia in the coming new year. She keeps a blog at dominiquefung.blogspot.com

Tim Lee (Lee Hon Hung)

Tim Lee (Lee Hon Hung)

"My work carries a heavy eastern influence. I think this is probably due to my Chinese heritage. Composition, rhythm and balance are the elements that I focus on. I like images that portray a sense of beauty and sadness and that work on a poetic level."

Born in 1983, Tim Lee (Lee Hon Hung) have lived and grown up in the U.K. Currently based in London, Tim graduated from Leeds Met with a Fine Art Degree in the summer of 2006.

Tim visits HongKong annually, where his parents came from, and he attributes that to where the eastern undercurrent in his works arises. Chinese scroll paintings, Kimono and Ukiyo-e prints heavily influence his work and he try to craft his work to reference them in some way. Like oriental art; composition and rhythm are paramount in his images. He is always looking for balance within each piece. Tim's illustrations are wonderfully intricate and precise, a tangled world of escapism and realism mixed into one.

Tim Lee's work has been featured in Illusive 2 (by Die Gestalten Verlag) and he is represented by Private View in UK. He was also recently featured on Lost At E Minor.
