This year I was commissioned to create an illustration for Mui Wo Laundry Co. on Lantau Island, Hong Kong: a new and very contemporary laundromat. They used the design on a T-shirt that is available to purchase exclusively from them, and only in HK.
I drew lots of images specifically of things in Mui Wo, the area nearest to the ferry pier on Lantau Island, like the post box, the banyan trees, the local temple and the pagoda by the local waterfall. I was super happy about this project because I could show my love for the place where I lived for almost 7 years when I was in HK.
I hand lettered the name of the laundry for the front of the T-shirt, to give it a relaxed and fun feel…
I love these professional photos for the promotion of the T-shirts! They were all taken around Mui Wo.
The T-shirt was also used as the official team outfit for the Mui Wo Boys Liondance troupe. I featured a retro liondance lion in the illustration, so it was a perfect fit.
A big thank you to Alvin Yeung of ymk design who art directed this project.
