KINGKWONG

#8 in my series. Vogue - Anna Wintour, Grace Coddington, and Andre Leon Talley in his signature…robe cape thing. I know I said I would release one of these every Friday, but I’ve been away for a couple weeks! Also, I added some extra shading and details on this one to make up for it.
I will add these to Society6 this weekend as well.

Wonka - Ricky Kwong
#7 of my series. One of my favorite movies growing up, and one that I still love. “Pure Imagination” is on my ipod. The boat scene seems to scare a lot of people, but I’ve always liked it, even as a kid (not surprising).
Available on Society6.

Selena & Selena Killer - Ricky Kwong
#6 in my series. A Valentine’s special…I do not understand why I have a strange affinity for Selena and Selena Killer…this minor obsession has sustained itself for well over five years, I don’t think it’s just a phase.
Anyway, Selena Killer has never looked so cute. Bitch.

Summer Heights High - Ricky Kwong.
It’s Friday, so time for a new release in my series. Here is #5, Summer Heights High. Maybe a bit more obscure than my previous sets, but those who know of it seem to be die hard cult followers. It was fun to do this group; because just like the show, all three characters actually have the exact same face.

Golden Girls - Ricky Kwong
#4 in my series. I was excited to see what the combination of cutesy baby dolls + old ladies would look like, and I’m happy to say…just as I expected. And I apologize, Bea Arthur, I just couldn’t resist making you comically giant.

A new series I’m working on inspired a bit by Kewpie + Blythe + personal nostalgia. My first set is “Saved by the Bell,” and it can also be found on eatsleepdraw!

More to come, and accepting suggestions for future sets

My latest self-illustration: Kangaroo Mask & Fair Isle Sweater.

Some may find this creepy. I think it’s whimsical.

I visited Hawaii for the first time last week, and saw more rainbows in one day than in my entire life combined. Clearly I was very excited about this and took a lot of photos.

I visited Seattle for the first time last week to spend time with my friend Amy, and also met up with some of my former co-workers. This is the first official “outing” with my new Canon Rebel T2i, and here are some of the pictures I took. I didn’t take too many because I was still trying to get used to walking around with a giant camera around my neck without looking too much like an Asian tourist. I need to get over that.
Not sure what my niche is - don’t really see a coherent point of view in these pictures. “Tourist,” maybe. Some post-production work was done on some of these images.

Speaking of Mary-Kate and fur, here is an illustration I did I think in 2009. Mary-Kate Olsen and fur. None of them are Ashley, by the way.

i started this several months ago and put it aside and forgot about it. it is an illustration of my friend amy’s final collection that she showed on project runway. i want do more fashion illustrations but don’t really want to think about what to draw, so i figured it’d be a nice collaboration to use her pieces as a start. below are the runway shots of her collection.

i have taken some time off from my personal sketches to work on a painting instead. this is mary kate from her book cover…i liked the lighting in the photo a lot so i decided to try to paint it. it was a big struggle at first, especially because i hadn’t painted in five years. once i got started it got a little bit easier. i used oil on canvas, and it’s about 12” x 36” or so, and took me one week to do.

here are some pics during the process…

thanks to everyone who likes this on tumblr!!!!
