Chow Hon Lam, also known as Flying Mouse, is a T-shirt designer from Malaysia. He sincerely hopes that his humorous designs on T-shirts will cheer up our gloomy world a little. The illustrator from time to time participates in joint projects with such firms as, for example, Nike, every day he comes up with new funny stories about people, animals, things and at the same time feels like a little mouse who, however, knows how to soar on the wings of a designer inspiration.
Malay illustrator Chow Hong Lam has been creative for 13 years. A few years ago he began to create T-shirt prints and still continues to experiment with different styles: “We humans are greedy creatures. Greedy for everything new and unusual, says Flying Mouse. “For example, I would not buy 20 identical T-shirts - give me variety!” The author also creates this very variety.
Inspiration for the illustrator usually comes from where it was not expected. Each thing has its own story. The main thing is to understand what exactly she wants to tell the world. And to tell, rest assured, she has something. This is what Chow Hong Lam is working on.
Someone talks about painful things with the help of songs, others make films, and still others write books. Chow Hong Lam communicates with the world through T-shirt prints. Every day he draws something new, and often he is not limited to one picture. It takes an artist from half an hour to 6 hours of work to create a humorous drawing.
The secret of such productivity is that in moments of inspiration, the muse of a t-shirt print dictates to the Flying Mouse a couple of dozen ideas, and he, like a diligent student, writes in his moleskin. When the guest leaves for the Land of Brilliant Prints, and Chow Hong Lam takes up a pencil, all that remains is to refresh the memory of the last entries in the working notebook.
Once Chow Hong Lam decided to save up ideas and did not draw anything for a whole month, only invented plots for future humorous drawings. And what? I managed to write down more than 160 ideas, that is, labor productivity averaged more than 5 inventions per day - quite a lot! Now that the period of primary accumulation of ideas is over, you can focus on bringing them to life, which means that dozens of new funny prints await us.

A man instead of a printer. The Human Printer: hand-made images that simulate CMYK printing
First, a person invents a technique that would help him to perform the most difficult work, and then … with all his might tries to imitate this very technique. Probably, this is done in order to once again demonstrate that he himself can do no worse. How else to explain the popularity of hyperrealism in painting, sculptures that do not look lifeless, or the art project The Human Printer, in which art students manually recreate the CMYK print effect?
Summer of Love cycle. Shocking Love in the Drawings of Saiman Chow
By analogy with the fact that advertising is the engine of trade, shocking can be called the engine of popularity. The more unusual and challenging this or that work is, the more attention it attracts, and the more popular it becomes. And let those who saw her then spit with disgust and disgust - the main thing is that they have already seen it, and will certainly share their emotions with the rest, and so on along the chain. Why such a long introduction? And to the unusual cycle of drawings by the artist Simon Chow (Saiman Chow), which is modest
How to become a unicorn: humorous drawings by Michael Bisparulz
The humorous drawings of Michael Bisparulz (aka DJ Bisparulz), an artist living in Brazil, are little tragedies and little comedies. Their heroes demonstrate the wonders of symbiosis and are surprised at the diversity of the world beating them on the head. According to the conditions of the funny world, which we see in the humorous drawings of the Brazilian illustrator, there can be a bear-rain (that is, rain of bears falling on bears), and real friendship makes a fabulous unicorn out of an ordinary pony
Humorous fantasy in drawings. Paradoxical plots by Lior Arditi
Humorous fantasy usually comes from three sources. The first is an ironic style of storytelling. The second is a mockery of the stereotypes and cliches of fantasy itself. The third is absurdity and paradox. And all this "trinity", it turns out, can operate not only in literature, but also in painting. Proof of this is the humorous and paradoxical works of the Israeli artist Lior Arditi
Big TV Lights: Humorous Drawings by Fernando Degrossi
Pop art humorous drawings by Fernando Degrossi illustrate a world in which objects of mass culture have taken on a life of their own. Here everything is mixed and everything is intertwined. The result is a funny cinematic and musical fusion. Charlie Chaplin wears shorts from a TV tuning table, Edward Scissorhands dreams of taking his beloved by the hand, and even a dog watches his "show" on the "TV", and no less enthusiastically than other people - TV
