Inthis joyful travel sketchbook, Hong Kong is captured through thehearts of a writer and an artist. Fromthe winding, incense-filled streets of Sheung Wan to the pandemoniumof a wet market in North Point to the sleepy island backwater of TaiO, Lena Sin and Nicholas Tay take you on a wonder-filled journey thatshines a light on the softer, more romantic side of this chaoticcity. Filledwith tales of growing up in Hong Kong, Lena weaves personal anecdotesand conversations with locals into richly illustrated watercoloursand photographs by herself and her artist husband Nicholas. The result isan intimate portrait of a city that is at once vibrant and energeticas well as charming and nostalgic.
Lena Sin is a journalist who was born and raised in Hong Kong. However, her first love was always art and she spends much of her time illustrating in watercolour, often while downing copious amounts of milk tea. She is a two-time Jack Webster Award nominee. Nicholas Tay loves to make a mess with colours. He studied illustration at Art Center College of Design in California. This education prepared him for a lack of sleep and his career as an art director and artist on several video game franchises including Need for Speed, NBA Street and SSX. Recently, he has added fine art gallery shows, teaching and advertising illustration to his area of play.
