Dim Sum Revolution



This was a recent full page illustration for San Francisco magazine.  The story focused on the successful efforts of Chinese workers to organize and improve working conditions at a local dim sum restaurant.  It was a great, positive story and it was a treat to work on artwork for it.  I drew inspiration for the piece from old Chinese posters of the Maoist period, and I aimed to give the final illustration a pseudo-woodcut look.

The artwork for this was drawn digitally, from pencil sketches drawn on paper.
