Holly Brown Farewell

So during our stay in Hong Kong working on the Holly Brown project we met and got to work with a really awesome team of people. Thought Id take this moment to quickly introduce a few of them.

First up is very talented Alida Philip, she was responsible for all of the great design and art direction behind the Holly Brown brand! She even designed the Holly Brown cups and beautiful white leather furniture! She also had a hand in creating the Holly Brown website  www.hollybrowncoffee.com

Next is Dominic the expert coffee roaster who with the help of award winning barristers King and Tracey serve delicious coffee blends and decorative latte art.

In charge of all things Gelato was Luca and (Stefano - see lower grid) who were the maestro's of gelato creation.

Michael also in the Gelato area - serving with style all sorts of colourful cold stone creations!

For the launch the ultra talented Evan Davies was called in to write the official Holly Brown theme song - which you can listen to here or here

Not forgetting Raymond Tsui the owner and brains behind Holly Brown and his group of lovely staff! Thanks to everyone for the great time we had in the Holly Brown family!! You will be sorely missed!

Holly Brown Artwork - part 2

The third of my illustrations for Holly Brown was based on the idea of a fantastical way to make coffee. Titled 'The Fantastical Coffee Machine' - mixed media.

The fourth in the series I titled 'Hula Coffee' - mixed media. I was inspired by the logo of Holly Brown for this one.

These were so much fun to make and even better to see on the walls of Holly Brown. Let me know what you think of them.

Id like to make the next post about some of the wonderful people I got to work with on this project. Stay tuned and thanks for stopping by!

Holly Brown Artwork

This is the first illustration I was commissioned to create for the walls of Holly Brown. She is titled 'Holly Brown - Lady Gelato' - mixed media. At the opening she came to life - thanks to Cathy Cheng for her excellent make up and hair styling and Jess Davies for her modeling. Quite a close likeness I think!

My second illustration is called 'The First Dance' - mixed media. Inspired by the coffee and gelato characters, the real-life versions walked the streets on opening day promoting Holly Brown, accompanied by Evan Davies on guitar who sang the Holly Brown theme song (more on that later). Thanks Ron and Jess!
