Initially drawn for the child’s entertainment (certain features are requests by the kiddo – the Cat’s Playground, the storm clouds, the solar system; the name ‘Masserson’ itself is a creation of the child), the piece eventually became a little memento of one of the most inquisitive phases of the child’s growth, overlaid with hints of a parent’s love (the provision of a shelter from the storm) and, lest we forget, a little reminder to spend more quality time with one’s kids, who invariably grow up all too quickly – ‘There’s plenty of time’ (to play, that is!). https://static1.squarespace.com/static/56f9daebd210b828ab68e117/56f9db6a04426235303704e4/56f9e51c906340e2eb5252ce/1496381347326/IMG_0034.JPG Wen-Li Chan - Portfolio - Spot The Eagles (2016) A drawing for Running Toons, promoting a collaborator's running event. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/56f9daebd210b828ab68e117/56f9db6a04426235303704e4/56f9e630c6fc0820b3f4f075/1496381465571/IMG_2922.JPG Wen-Li Chan - Portfolio - Gus and Mar's Triple Dose (2016) A commissioned drawing for the artist's friends, putting into pictures their various outdoor activities undertaken within a single day. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/56f9daebd210b828ab68e117/56f9db6a04426235303704e4/56f9e0e61bbee05d1f62e1e9/1496382071269/12647368_1720629514841208_3824496254039909136_n.jpg Wen-Li Chan - Portfolio - The Great Race (2016) A drawing for Running Toons, during the Lunar (Chinese) New Year celebrations, depicting the legend of what the animals of the Chinese zodiac would have done had their legendary race (which results determined the order of the animals on the Chinese zodiac) been a running event in modern times! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/56f9daebd210b828ab68e117/56f9db6a04426235303704e4/56f9e214c6fc0820b3f4d778/1496381490450/12823469_1732553073648852_2641265579007967502_o.jpg Wen-Li Chan - Portfolio - Spot 'Em Onesies (2016) A drawing for Running Toons, promoting a collaborator's running event. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/56f9daebd210b828ab68e117/56f9db6a04426235303704e4/56f9e521ac962cd0e2340438/1496381480495/IMG_2921.JPG Wen-Li Chan - Portfolio - One For The Women (2015) A drawing for Running Toons, promoting a collaborator's running event. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/56f9daebd210b828ab68e117/56f9db6a04426235303704e4/56f9ebac555986e92d8122dd/1498031823488/IMG_1869-2.JPG Wen-Li Chan - Portfolio - Computer Says No (2015) You may have noticed the artist's penchant for all things caffeine! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/56f9daebd210b828ab68e117/56f9db6a04426235303704e4/56f9e023d210b828ab6901b2/1459318984649/IMG_1438-2.JPG Wen-Li Chan - Portfolio - Believe (2015) Shoes rule our lives more than we think – there are shoes that fit and shoes that don’t, shoes that we’re expected to fill.. all of which could very well sprout wings if one believed hard enough. At the inception of this piece, this was a simple runner’s shoe, carrying with it the hopes and dreams of a budding athlete. By the time the finished drawing was displayed, it had taken on alternative personas of the people who had viewed it – a dancing shoe to one who wished to be freed from shackles; a winged messenger’s sandal to the traveller or mythology buff; and to the sentimental dreamer, Cinderella’s slipper.
