Artists

The five amazingly talented Hong Kong artists who created the NFT pass artworks.

@timid_and_ange Gabriel Li is a freelancing Hong Kong illustrator since 2019 who is fascinated by character designs, particularly with cute animals. His illustration style may be simple, but his drawings convey deeper meanings using characters’ movements, facial expressions, and playful colours. He has been a game artist for over 10 years prior.

@Meoww_draws Meoww_draws is a brand created by Hong Kong based illustrator, Ruby Ip. The illustration style is simple and cute and often contains dreamy elements. The purpose of starting meoww_draws is to deliver warmth and happiness to people through drawings.

@thewonderofina Ina Lee is an illustrator and content creator based in Hong Kong and London. Her art centres around mental health, women’s right and her Asian heritage. Using vivid colours in all her work, Ina aspires to deliver joy and comfort through her colourful lens, inspiring people to take care of their soul and strive for a better future.

AME (@kklnbt) AME is a Hong Kong based game artist mainly painting in Japanese style. Keen on adding local Hong Kong culture elements into her artworks. Also works in a Maid café during the daytime. She hopes her art can represent the different artistic and beautiful forms of Hong Kong.

@raw.a.ram Raw.a.ram is an artist from Hong Kong who creates illustrations by utilising unexpected, vivid colours on Japanese anime style characters in abnormal, sometimes dark situations. He occasionally offers drawing lessons. Sofa is good.

Why the need for five different artists?

Whenever people read the same story, each person will have their own interpretations to different ideas and different meanings. We want to embrace the concept of enabling people to express their own individual creativity while being centred around a common theme. By allowing our artists to draw an image focused on the idea of lending a hand due to kindness on a rainy day, we hope that this concept will permeate with the rest of our community. Our project's backbone is centred around a storyline that's based on the theme of kindness, and through the different art styles, we hope our community understand that we accept each individual's different creative ideas and decisions, while all being united as a community through the storyline.

All five artists are from Hong Kong. Not only are they excellent illustrators as evident through the high quality artwork from each of our passes, Hong Kong is our hometown and is a vibrant and exciting city in Asia. In this city, you can find a lot of people who are knowledgeable about crypto and blockchain. In fact, many BAYC holders are secretly from Hong Kong as well!
