Hello steemit

Today I would like to show you a great Chinese cartoonist littlethunder. Here is her profile on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/littlethunder . She has 399 thousand followers there.

Littlethunder is based in Hong Kong. She started drawing as a teenager and was inspired by comics , manga ,video games and pinup art. Littlethunder has made not only illustrations but surrealistic comics like Kylooe and illustration books such as the recent The Blister Exist. Recently she had a very successful show in Sheung Wan, Hong Kong, as part of the release of her new art book. This book shows progress of her work through 10 years of illustration. A few month ago she had an exhibition in Kyoto, Japan.

Being also inspired by Hong Kong’s traditional culture, many of Little Thunder’s works convey a sense nostalgia. She says, “Hong Kong is developing so rapidly now; it’s copying what’s abroad or trying to appease China. It’s nonstop demolishing and rebuilding, and a lot of Hong Kong’s old architecture and history are disappearing. In terms of art and culture, it’s definitely a step back. It makes me think of how beautiful Hong Kong was when I was growing up. That’s the Hong Kong that always lingers in my memory, and now I can only express it through my art.”

She uses ink and watercolors. Her inspiration comes from her daily life you can see that on her illustrations. She loves brining together old and new in a very modern way.

Here are some illustrations of her.
