Animation for my friend @scholasticbookfairs
day and night versions of a fantasy Shanghai teahouse! I did these as part of my assignments for an environment sketching class at CDA.
I nearly died doing that class, but it was very good practice, and the instructors and classmates are very supportive. Highly recommended if you have the time, funds and energy!!
The ref I used for the teahouse is Shuyinlou, a semi-derelict private Ming-era residence in the heart of old Shanghai, that’s probably going under the wrecking ball or altered beyond recognition soon. I’m glad I got to see the really old, dusty and dirty bits of Shanghai before they all become clean, glitzy and part of the Chinese Dream…

This gorgeous dragon lantern can be found at Cheongyecheon stream as part of 2019 Seoul Lantern Festival exhibit.
Dragons are legendary creatures in Korean mythology and folklore. Usually seen as deities of the river or the sea, overseeing peace in the house, good health and longevity in the family, the harvest, catch and safe sailing. The lantern depicts a dragon holding a wish-fulfilling orb in its mouth–called yeouiju(여의주).
How to get here: the stream is within a walking distance from just about any subway line, but I’d recommend City Hall :)

Seoul Lantern Festival celebrates it’s 11th Anniversary this year with the theme “Your Seoul, Dreams with Lights.” Come down to the Cheonggyecheon stream and get lost in the fairy tale world of lights and traditional folk tale characters!
This is a boat I made carrying my wish :) Will it come true? You can make yours in the event area under the bridge, very easy to find if you just follow the path!

this has alt text. extended image description below the cut.
Song Lan and Xiao Xingchen sit at a balcony table, on which sits a teapot and two bowls of tangyuan dumplings. Xiao Xingchen holds his spoon but has paused to gaze out at a stream of lanterns rising into the sky. Song Lan holds a cup of tea, pausing to gaze at Xiao Xingchen. The paper lanterns illuminate the scene in a golden glow, and the sky is a rich blue behind them.
Watercolour on paper.
Happy Lantern Festival! Pick a pig lantern since it’s the year of pig!
Happy Lantern Festival, everyone!! Hope everyone enjoys their tangyuan!
