An Overdue Thankyou.

Yo. This is gonna be a massive long post - you have been warned...

I just want to say thanks to everyone who attended the exhibition last week. It was a great success. We raised just over $30,000 for charity and everyone seemed to have a good time. I'm not one for speeches and I think that showed. Only a couple of minor glitches throughout the evening but other than that it was pretty cool.

I just want to shout out to all the sponsors for the evening; The Philip George Salon, Tap That Marketing & Events, Igor's Group, Snow Queen Vodka, Framingham Wines, Cliche Photography, M1NT and Miss Nova China (Rachel), Aurora and all her performers. Also a shout out to Alive Not Dead for attending on behalf or bidders and for the online support through out the whole time. Finally got to meet the boys Raffi and Patrick which was good as it was a long time coming. A thanks to The Darkside for the online support over the last month - I look forward to our future collaboration!. Couldn't have done it without you guys!!!

Also a massive thanks to everyone who turned up. Sorry I couldn't talk to you all it was all so frantic, - you know how it is! A very very special thanks to Philip George who funded the whole event and is the don! Harmony Pang atCliche Photography and my dai gor Hung (www.hungchi.co.uk)for the amazing photos you guys took of the event!
To see all the pics, check out the 1kstyles facebook page.

One last special mention to sponsor - BROUHAHA MAGAZINE who released there first preview issue at the exhibition. I am happy to say I am part of this team and that the our first full issue will be out in January 2010. We have 3 preview magazines before then and Preview Issue no.2 will be released at the Glockenflap Festival at Cyberport this weekend so make sure you get one!! You can also read it online at our websitewww.brouhaha.com.hk and look out for issue 3 this December!

Apart from that I have been super busy catching up with various projects since the exhibition took place.
Here's looking to the next few months of working my ass off.

I have also booked my ticket home to the UK for Christmas. Three long overdue weeks back in London Town!!

I'll leave you with some more pics of the event.

Cheers!

Exhibition Preview

Tuesday, Oct 27, 2009 3:06AM / Members only

Hi all.

I have just got over the H1N1. It was not good as it's a little worse than regular flu only you have more nausea. I remember when it first came out and my flat mate was warning me that it can be fatal for people who have asthma, so naturally I was a little concerned when the doc said that I had the Sw1ne. Not cool. My flat mate called me everyday whilst I was in the hospital and then quarunteened at home making sure I was okay, so I wanted to thank her as well as my family, friends and my girl too.

Back on subject; Now because I got the damn Sw1ne, everything was pushed back a week including my exhibition so I have been trying to get everything back on track.

There will now be 19 illustrations on display for the exhibition. The following 3 are part of 6 that will be on display at M1NT for 3 months so here is an early preview of the framed work.

There's Jimmy - 'Hendrix' (size A0)

'Enter the Dragons' (size A1)

'Hepburn' (size A1)

These prints will be for sale and more details will be available at the event or you can e-mail me (lun@1kstyles.com) for more details.

The flyers for the event have been dished out in and around Central thanks to our BROUHAHA soldiers.

Aside from arranging the exhibition and BROUHAHA Magazine and various other projects, I have recently been commissioned to do editorial illustrations for Angie Wong's 'Under the Table' Column inTime Out HK. This will give me the chance to use more of my sketch work which is great as I've missed drawing these past few months...

So if you are free on Thursday night come down to M1NT for some free drinks and canapes, some arty farty illustrations and most importanty a CHARTY AUCTION in aid of the Hong Kong Cancer Fund and my friend Sheila.

Hope to see you all there!

'POP ATTACK' - Charity Auction Illustrations

Tuesday, Oct 6, 2009 1:13AM / Members only

Over the next few weeks I'm going to be putting up information about the Exhibition and what I am going to be doing for it. In this blog I'm going to be talking about the images for auction and where the proceeds will go from this auction.

At 'Pop Attacks!' There will be three images for auction;

1. Fists of Fury

2. Smooth Criminal

3. Norma Jeane

50% of the proceeds from these images will be going to the Hong Kong Cancer Fund. I have been in touch with them and they have been around for ten years and have finally started to bring awareness about the different types of cancer to schools. To find out more information about the group, you can follow them at the following link
http://www.cancer-fund.org/en/

The other half of the proceeds will be going toward the cost of treatment for a friend of mine in Hong Kong who has leukemia. She is undergoing intense chemotherapy and it is very likely she is going to need a bone marrow transplant.
You can follow her group and show your love and support on the following link;
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=122523544241&ref=ts

'Cancer' is a word something we don't really want to think about, but it's something people must deal with on a daily basis. Most of us will probably, if not have already dealt with it either through friends or family or even directly. These people need all the support they can get. Now all that needs to happen is for everyone to get as many people with deep pockets, a love for pop icons and most importantly big hearts down to the event to help out these causes. As cheesy as this may sound I mean it.

Thanks for your time to read this blog and I hope you can spread the word.

The Roots - How I Got Over

Saturday, Oct 3, 2009 1:54AM / Members only

First video 'How I Got Over' from their highly anticipated album has just been released;

Video: http://videos.onsmash.com/v/jzLUmJUVausjmsZN

One word; SICK

I always look forward to any album by the legendary Roots Crew not only because they are f***ing amazing, but because each album is never quite what I expect.
One thing i have learned from each album release is that with The Roots, you should never assume. Each album is always different. They are one of the only groups that have maintained such a strong integrity with their music and at the same time never sold out, which is rare to come by nowadays.
I remember when I first brought Phrenology when I was 16 based purely on one song and my love for them grew ever since.
Enough yappin'. This is why I'm an Illustrator and not a writer.
