Art of the Day!- Foon and COUNTERF!T

Bringing style with crazy designs, Foon Wong, artist and designer of COUNTERF!T, has a style of his own as he paints and designs. With his partner, Arne Venema, Foon  makes a kind of art that is video game, anime, and music inspired. Foon's artwork for COUNTERF!T has been featured in galleries and his handiwork appears on hats.

With such names as "Luigi is Dead" and "Shibuya Acid", the influence of gaming world is present. Foon, with his signature headphones around his neck, works his magic in not only paintings but also as a comic illustrator and musician and a toy designer.

His painting "Legacy" is a mix of pop culture and Asian flair. A white canvas that is split with one side displaying the word in english and the other side showing it  in Chinese. Each is writing in block computer style with lines streaming from them similar to a computer circuit board. Running alongside the words are different symbols including that of Napster.
