Scent Of Hong Kong - Little Thunder Illustration Book Review 門小雷 リトルサンダー作品集

Scent Of Hong Kong is a beautiful collection of illustrations by the popular Hong Kong based cartoonist Little Thunder (門小雷 / リトルサンダー) and is her 2nd published art book ( read my review for her first art book Sisterhood ).

As the title suggests, the theme of the book is dedicated to the artist’s hometown of Hong Kong, and the illustrations show off the unique sights of the bustling city, with its quaint streets and nostalgic signboards accentuated by the vibrant colors of the artist’s watercolors. The illustrations featured in the book were also displayed at the exhibition of the same name that was held at Parco Shibuya’s Gallery X from 30.10.20 to 09.11.20.

Little Thunder’s sensuous art style and her whimsical use of certain subject matter evokes in me a nostalgic feeling that I find hard to place; at any rate her illustrations are just beautiful and I’m even more of a fan now after looking at the art work in this book. This gets my highest recommendations; definitely check out her earlier art book Sisterhood as well.
