Me and my friend got this opportunity by Splash to illustrate a limited edition mid-autumn themed tumbler for Artease Cafe. Mid-Autumn festival is around the corner and they wanted to introduce their new mango pomelo drink, so our illustration would actually compliment the season!
So I came up with an illustration based on my own version of Chang'e and mid-autumn/lantern festival.
The moon is at its roundest during Mid-Autumn Festival, as people prepare to celebrate this harvest festival. Up on the moon, Chang’e didn’t want to miss this occasion. So the Jade Rabbit gathered its friends to help prepare a private party above the clouds, complete with mooncakes, pomelo and tea. Some of them even lit lanterns to light up the occasion. As this festival dates back to Ancient China, I decided to give my illustration an Asian touch with an added twist to the legend of Chang’e. I illustrated Chang’e to look child-like, so as to remind us of how we used to light lanterns and eat mooncakes and have fun without any worries back when we were younger.
Tumblers have been printed and is on sale at all Artease Cafe in Singapore now. Do drop by and show your support by getting one. (I have yet to collect mine, can't wait to get my hands on it)
