ARTIST BIO: "Tik Ka is a talented Hong Kong artist, illustrator and designer who began his career in 2006. He has held solo exhibitions internationally, including Hong Kong, Taiwan, Paris, New York, London and Milan. Growing up in the Hong Kong colonial era, Tik Ka absorbed European, American; Japanese cultures including comic books, movies, music and food culture, whilst, at the same time, having a traditional Chinese background. With such culture mixed background, Tik Ka has created his Pop-Art Creation called “Tik Ka From East” – all works and series are painted in the style of ancient Chinese art with a special culture blend.
One of his inspired series – “Super Hero meet Chinese Opera”- was highly acclaimed by international media and personal including Stan Lee (Marvel Chairman / Director) and Robert Downey Jr."
The artists' works are very familiar to TOYSREVIL, and even my film hobby blog at POPCORNX! Besides art, you can look forward to meeting the artist who had since released collectibles with Mighty Jaxx - including Hambuddah and Chicken Fairy, and as well his work with Soap Studio HK with his interpretations of Looney Tunes' "Tweety Bird and Sylvester"!
