Final Project

<Welcome to Chinese Folklore>

An illustration project from final year that focuses on a variety of old tales from Chinese culture. Such as ‘Frog in the Well’, ‘Snail Lady’, ‘Hou-Yi the Sun Archer’ and ‘Chang-E the Moon Goddess’. The aim is to break away from the highly stereotypical approach of Chinese culture. Meaning that each narrative is portrayed accordingly into context.
