Shell of HK

(For some reason these never got posted, cheers blogspot.)
A few pages of a project I did, based on photos provided by the great students of HKDI. The man concept behind it is to walk someone through a post-apocalyptic Hong Kong, with the text adding information to the images. It stemmed from the idea we always have of HK as this busy, bustling, overcrowded metropolis, so I wanted to show it under a different light. Also, a lot of the photos I was provided with showed many abandoned flats and nearly whole buildings that had been evacuated and left to themselves. It seemed like such a stark contrast to what especially westerners' idea of Hong Kong is that I really wanted to play on it.

ink and quink.

Also using quink is pretty fun. It's just made me really undecided.

more inky goodness.

Testing out new techniques, mainly using brushes and ink and seeing what textures I can get out of fucked-up brushes. I'm still trying to maintain a high-contrast look, was a little inspired by Raymond Pettibon for the last one.
