/ Exhibition
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!

Information
/ Charity Work
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;

'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.

Video

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

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.

Standard Entry
/ Personal Projects
Over the last few months I have been working on a long term project that will finally see the light of day. Initially starting out as an online magazine before breaking into publishing, we are going to make some noise with this.
Watch out Hong Kong
