Here's my #artvsartist2018 showcasing my sketches of Hong Kong specialities shops. I think this #artvsartist is a great idea, a lot of you might have seen my sketches posted here, but not many of you might have idea how I look like😜. Here I am! I'll be going to Porto urban sketchers symposium in July too, excited to meet sketchers whom I know through their sketches but not met in person!! #urbansketchers #portosymposium #hkshops #shopfronts #shopsketches

#朱榮記 A traditional grocery store in Possession Street, #SheungWan, opened in 1959. This store is a beautiful mess, both inside and outside are packed with goods, some are functional cleaning sweeping items, but some are nostalgia goods, all are either hanging or stacking up all over the store. It's like a treasure trove for collectors. #shops #shopsketches #storefront #urbansketchers #urbansketchershk #urbansketch #sketchcollector #instaart #art #painting #watercolour #drawing #sketch #sketchwalker (at Possession Street)

I'm starting my #moleskine Japanese accordion #sketchbook for my #shopfront #project, I wish to use this accordion sketchbook to record special shops in Hong Kong. #shopsketches #urbansketchers #urbansketchershk #urbansketch #sketchcollector #instaart #art #painting #watercolour #drawing #sketch #sketchwalker

Back to #朱榮記 the traditional grocery store in #SheungWan-- a treasure stove stuffed with interesting goods. This store has two #storefronts, both interestingly stacked with goods outside. I wanted to add the other half of the store to the sketch I did few weeks ago, unfortunately they closed before I can complete my sketch. #shops #shopfront #shopsketches #urbansketchers #urbansketchershk #urbansketch #sketchcollector #instaart #art #painting #watercolour #drawing #sketch #sketchwalker (at 朱榮記)

While I was exploring Sheung Wan area, I passed by this beautiful store front of a 4-storey pre-war building of more than 80 years old. I was attracted to it immediately and cannot resist taking out my sketchbook to sketch it. This store is occupied by Pang Yu Tai tea house established in 1893. Although the store front is pretty run down now, but by the look of it's Art Deco wooden doors and shop windows with classic patterned tiles insert on the lower part, it's not hard to imagine that this old lady was once a pretty elegant woman. #彭裕泰茶行 #storefront #shopsketches #prewarbuilding #bonhamstrand #urbansketchers #urbansketchershk #urbansketch #sketchcollector #instaart #art #painting #watercolour #drawing #sketch #sketchwalker #archdrawing #architecture #archsketch (at Bonham Strand East Sheung Wan)
