Museum Grade reprint on Hahnemühle German Etching 310gsm mould-made paper. Limited reprint.
Handcrafted signs once dominated Hong Kong's visual landscape, and at the forefront of keeping that dying tradition alive is calligrapher Au Yeung Cheong. The work of Au Yeung, distinguished by his use of Zan Script, still adorns shopfronts and businesses across town. For nearly 40 years, he worked fastidiously from his bastion in a historical building that was shuttered for redevelopment in late 2020. But that hasn't stopped him.

Alvin C.K. Lam is a Hong Kong–based self-taught watercolor artist who recalls picking up a paintbrush long before chopsticks. What began in 2020 as an experiment in urban sketching soon became a journey of rediscovering his hometown and uncovering the untold stories hidden within its streets. Known for his richly detailed and evocative style, Alvin captures Hong Kong’s vibrant yet fading cultural heritage through scenes of traditional family businesses, craftsmen, and everyday life. His ongoing series, Unspoken Stories, Unsung Heroes, celebrates these ordinary figures—the quiet backbone of modern Hong Kong—reflecting the enduring Lion Rock Spirit while evoking nostalgia amid the tension between tradition and progress.
