We now have a number of talented artists, illustrators and designers whose prints and photography we sell at The Lion Rock Press. It's time to introduce you to some of the people behind the art! Janet Cheung sells her postcards in our Sheung Wan showroom and is sharing a bit more about herself and the inspiration behind the work she creates.
About
Janet was educated in Illustration and Graphic Design, with further studies in Central Saint Martins College of Art.
In 2019, Janette created her own lovable character of Mr. Q Panda with simple colours and Hong Kong elements as background.
Janet was invited by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) to showcase her artwork at the Design Gallery. Her passion and skill also earned her an exclusive invitation to speak at Hong Kong university, where she shared her art journey. She participated in the HKICS SHOW, exhibited at The Mills and Harbour North, and collaborated with renowned brands.
Inspiration
Mr.Q Panda was created in 2021. His lovely face and soft fluffy body of the icons in the cute world. The illustrator Janet Cheung hopes that through the IP character, it can share happiness, regain joy, and be full of passion for life. She hopes that in the future, more people will know about MR.Q Panda and it will become a popular IP character in Hong Kong. Bring more joy to everyone, add colour to life, and spread love and positive energy.
Mr.Q Panda Workshop was founded in 2022. A mini solo exhibition of Mr.Q Panda was held at the local bookstore. It has also been shortlisted and participated in the Hong Kong Illustration and Creative Show many times. Soon after, it was invited by The Mills,Isquare, D2 Place and Harbour North to hold solo illustration exhibitions and theme markets. It also collaborated with many local and overseas brands.
