Dim Sum by 

Certain tea houses in Hong Kong allow their patrons to bring their caged songbirds. These dim sum restaurants are transformed into aviaries every morning as customers sip tea, gossip and enjoy the birdsong. The original image is a hand-pulled, signed & numbered lino block print in a limited edition variable of 50.

I’m a self-taught illustrator and printmaker. Many of my works on RedBubble are part of the “Vanishing Hong Kong” series of limited edition wood and lino block prints. They will also appear in my upcoming book—"Home Water: Poems, Prints & Stories"—to be published by year’s end.

I began documenting the people of Hong Kong 25 years ago. I was focused on the 99% long before that became a rallying cry for the disenfranchised.
