Dai Fu Lou Toon Exhibit

From 14th till 20th at Prologue on Cameron Rd 8 in Tsim Tsa Tsui, is an exhibition by Dai Fu Lou showing an impressive book designed by Jona Lam. This book includes a special design so you can see animated images inside the book, with out it using lenticulars or even electricity. The book contain a collection of Dai Fu Lou animations with a set about a stinky underpants that get washed dried and ironed. Also inside the book are information about the technique used to make this animation and explained how you can also design it yourself, to inspire designers to make use of this technique. The books are for sale and get them before they are gone, it is a truly special book to get inspired by or just to see the funny animations.

After this exhibition will be all about Toys with Dai Fu Lou again, all new toys from Dai Fu Lou which are hand made by Jona Lam and truly limited. Will show all plush toys of the characters of Dai Fu Lou which will be used later for stopmotion animations in the future.

Night before the opening I made this around 3 am and next day in the morning it was already gone the people pasted exactly the same posters back but then over my piece of artwork.

Dai Fu Lou @ International Original Design Fair

It was the very first booth at a fair for Chung Dha and we actually choose to use this booth with few other designers instead of using it all for Chung Dha Design. The booth was shared with Cotton Candy from Prologue and DimSum who is an illustrator and Dai Fu Lou the other side of Jona Lam.

The fair is a great promotion and given away allot of business cards plus stickers and for sure know that we had allot of people viewing our works and also gotten some interest.

For sure also learned a few things cause one very sad thing happened is that the small Dai Fu Lou hand made character got stolen even though he was ugly. And also need to write down what they can take and what not people think to fast that things are for free.

At least we have shown our works at China and done some good publicity and made few interesting contacts. And hope to see you all at our next exhibit @ Prologue in TST Hong Kong on Cameron Roar exit C2 on 14 October.

Dai Fu Lou @ Esprit Friends

Saturday 22 August 2009 Dai Fu Lou had an interview at Esprit Friends and talked about a serious subject what is friends. Do you really have to know everything about the other person to be friends with. Or just knowing and feeling of a friendship is enough. Everyday you can make a new friend without knowing them at all, which might be better then if you knew all the information about them instead. Friends could be friend however between all of them there lies also people who tries to mislead you or people trying to be your friend to get something from you. Always make clear the difference between a friend and business, both can't happen at the same time. Jona talked about his past experience how he got hurt by a friend he trusted and came to Hong Kong with fully having trust in their friendship, having later known that he had a hidden 3 year plan for Jona with out him knowing it. Also in talked about how Jona and Alan met in Hong Kong and from totally not knowing about each other and still able to become friends and setup Dai Fu Lou. Watch the interview and vote for use here.

Please support Dai Fu Lou and vote for us, so Dai Fu Lou and exist and do more exhibition and finance our business. Also if we win we would like to give a shirt away to one of the voters, tell us if you have voted and tell friends, family and others to help voting.

Dai Fu Lou the Netherlands

Here is a short vid of my trip back to the Netherlands filming the flight and few surroundings in the Netherlands, but also the exhibition that was held in Rotterdam. Mostly haven't done any real tourist stuff cause mostly cause I am from the Netherlands and have seen those places many times before. However still the Netherlands got allot of beautiful places and allot of open spaces. However I am now back in Hong Kong again and will be back in the Netherlands in January.
