I'm not a morning person at all, but this morning I know I gotta share this! It is almost Chinese New Year, so fist of all, Happy Chinese New Year to everyone!
Victo Ngai, a Chinese illustrator from Hong Kong brought her new Chinese artwork "The Lucky Rooster" to the headline of the Apple website (China) to celebrate the Chinese New Year. The color of the artwork really gives all of us a strong taste of the traditional Chinese culture, and it kinda tells us that the Chinese New Year is here.
But more importantly, besides her stunning artworks, what I like about this her is how she fights the prejudice people hold on artists/designers with her own artworks. There is a great energy behind every work she created, which turns into a strong message to tell people that artists/designers can still make something happen...something amazing, something that would shock the world. In the video below, the girl talks about the prejudice most Chinese parents hold on art/design, and how she proves them wrong with her efforts and achievements.
