[Charise Scrivner]

Thesecond Zip Min Pool Party collection for Zippy's. Featuring the ingredients from one of my favorite dishes. The design was places on a variety of merchandise including saimin bowls, chopsticks, hats, bags, and more. Sold exclusively on the Zippy's online store.

This drawing is dedicated to the countless hours that Jasper Wong sat in front of the television set on Saturday mornings. This became a sold out print at 1XRun in Detroit, Michigan and an interior mural for Michael Bennett of the Seattle Seahawks. The mural was painted with One-Shot oil based paint and acrylics.

To celebrate the release of a film titled "Mall" and his directorial debut, Mr. Hahn of Linkin Park organized a exhibition at Known Gallery in Los Angeles, California. Jasper Wong was contacted by James Jean to be a part of the show that was themed around the movie. These were his two paintings that were created with spray paint, acrylics and ink.

Platypuses are freaks of nature and they're also endangered. What people don't know is the fact that they love riding tricycles even more than they enjoy looking freakish. This painting was created for a charity group exhibition at Thinkspace Gallery in Los Angeles, California.

Celebrating a galaxy's worth of battles between the dark side and the light, I drew a gaggle of Star Wars heroes for a poster project between Soul Assassins and Lucasfilm. Other artists involved included the likes of POSE, Mark Dean Veca, Artek, Leo Eguiarte, Dual Forces, Eye One, and Tristan Eaton. An exhibition traveled between Los Angeles and New Yorky with a finale at SXSW in Austin, Texas.

Jasper Wong's obsessions includes the likes of Blacula and sailor tattoos, so when 2Xanadu and Luma hit him up to design a fixed gear bike frame, he had to go with his tried and true favorites. It is a whole lot of love for blood suckas and decapitated vampire victims.

In honor of Wes Anderson's classic films, Ken Harman of Spoke Art decided to curate a show of epic proportions by bringing in acclaimed artists from all over the globe. Aptly titled "Bad Dads", the show opened to rave reviews in San Francisco, California. A selection of the work was later compiled into a book.

Jasper Wong was asked to do poster illustrations for the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, California. The campaign was seen all over the city from buses to billboards and everything in between. It was used as YBCA's chief advertising campaign for years.

A tantalizing illustration of exploitation film star Blacula for an issue of Boo Mag. It's an Australian magazine that focuses on fashion, design, art, and music. It's a quarterly treat for your eyeballs.

An illustration by Jasper Wong for a group exhibition titled, "Drop Bear". The show was curated by Andrew Montell of Acclaim Magazine to celebrate the mythic beast of Australian folklore. Exhibition held at the House of Bricks in Victoria, Australia.

Ace Hotel tapped Jasper Wong on the shoulder to do some art for one of their hotel rooms. He accepted the offer with outstretched arms and proceeded to do a large scale drawing in gold ink. It was excellently framed and installed by the maestros of Ice Cold Frames. You can currently find the work in loft suite 611 at Ace Hotel in New York.

Avant Garde Diaries is a short documentary series by Mercedez Benz. They are best known for their in-depth video portraits of creative individuals and organizing museum exhibitions with the likes of the Beastie Boys. Avant Garde Diaries took time out of their day to interview Jasper Wong about his "Little Shop of Wonders".

Too many influences to fully list here, as I am a bit of an omnivore for sights, sounds and ideas and am always on the lookout for perspectives I had not considered before. But to name a few artists whose lives and work I think about often and keep going back to: Edvard Munch, Shitao, Xu Wei, Lee Lozano, Vincent Van Gogh, Eleanor Ray, Andrei Tarkovsky, Brenda Goodman, Lois Dodd, Alex Katz, Kanye West, Louise Bourgeois, On Kawara, Yayoi Kusama, Scott Kahn, and Marsden Hartley, among others.

I have not really thought much about my place in the histories and lineages of painting. This may sound a bit idealistic, but I really would like to think that anybody out there painting or drawing something at the moment is engaging in the same larger, perhaps infinitely vast conversation as I am about the craft.

Lookbook was born during COVID. I got burnt out doing a lot of COVID drawings for client work. I felt like I had no attention span to make art for myself anymore. So, for Lookbook, I gave myself like a set of parameters. I wanted a project that was basically about repeating something small and eventually amassing something bigger. I was already doing these little girl drawings and fashion drawings and repeating them in my sketchbook.

Thank you for this great interview, and also for the giveaway! My favorite illustrator is MogCherie, and they are also on Postcrossing under the same name. They design the most beautiful art and they should definitely have a postcard box made with their art!

I love this illustration style. I dabbled a little myself some years back.

My favourite artist that I'd love to see on a set of postcards is Zeke Wolf from Piha in West Auckland. He also does ceramics and painting.

So enjoyed hearing about the process of creativity for Rose Wong - her work is amazing. I'm stumped picking my favorite illustrator so I'll choose a Vermonter, Sabra Field who has done very stylized ink blot prints of Vermont landscapes. My son used her as inspiration I think for a series of deep water color scenes of Vermont. I have both sitting side by side on a wall in my house.

I do not need another blank postcard--I have enough to last my lifetime and beyond! However, if Rose came out with a Lookbook set, I surely wouldn't be able to resist adding it to my collection. I'd consider getting the book, as well--to give as a gift, and one for myself :) .

This lady knows her stuff very well.

Great interview, great talent n great work too!

Thank you for the effort in providing great cards for us PostCrossers.

More to come by ya.........cheers.

What an awesome interview with an amazing person! As for the illustrator that should have a postcard box, I say Sven Otto Nordqvist, a Swedish writer and illustrator of children's books, best known for his series Pettson and Findus!!

My favourite artist from NL is Jeroen de Leijer.

Multitalent. Known from tvseries De Eefje Wentelteefje TV Show. Radioprogramma. Published several books. And designed glassinstainwindows. My latest buy of his work was Mommy was a mobster.

Would love to see his work in alle postcardbook or box!

A postcard set made of the US Federal Duck Stamp contest would be really cool. While the winners are featured on the stamp being able to see years of runners up and possibly crowd favorites would be cool!

I just realized I had one or two of her in the Flower Box postcard collection from Amazon! I have sent a few along already but I am now going to save my last one for myself. What a wonderful interview, thank you.

I love your illustration Rose, but if you ask me my favorite illustrator, only 1 I have in mind: my own 17yo boy, Kenneth. His IG is and he's also on Postcrossing as ivory_coconut . And I've to say, this interview is full of tips for my high school senior - Kenneth intends to major in visual art like you Rose, so I'll make him read up the article tonight ???

Wonderful interview! And her art is beautiful.? One of my favorite American illustrators/artists is Norman Rockwell. I have a couple of his postcard books and have been sending these when the theme is appropriate for my recipient. ?

Thank you for this enjoyable interview! I liked the insights into Wong's artistic process.

I'd love to have a box of postcards by Lorena Alvarez Gomez, especially on a storybook/fairytale theme.

What a fantastic, inspirational artist! Your precision reminds me of one of my favourite artists, Maluda (Portugal). Her city and village views, doors, and windows, are beautiful and I have never seen them on a postcard...

A German artist who sells his artwork as postcards but has no postcard box (as far as I know) is Frank Kuhnert. Ok, he is no illustrator (sorry!), but a humourous, talented photographer with a funny attitude to see the world :-)

Thank you for the article. I have actually currently been sending out Ms. Wong's postcards from the Flower Box:) I think LadyDylyce, a fellow Postcrosser, should have her own box. Her photography is very good.

She speaks confidentially about it, but without any constructed narrative in her hands: promptly responding to the questions I address her, her replies lead immediately to the next, in a spontaneously thoughts triggering conversation you would always love to have when visiting an artist.

In particular, during our visit Wong admits how recently she has more often drawn inspiration from Asian traditional knowledge, but always approaching it with something inherited heritage, absorbed through her family and community she lived in, that she wants to retrieve.

On the other hand, the way Wong approaches the space, focusing the airy weight of atmosphere rather than a rational perspective-based description of elements, is something closer to traditional Chinese and Japanese paintings and prints.

Over our visit, Wong in fact confessed how lately she has become interested in exploring different conceptions and perceptions of the body and its relations with external factors, diving into some alternative approaches such as the one we find in traditional medicine practices in East Asia medicine, in particular.

In fact, the East Asia, and Chinese ancient medical traditions stand somehow at the opposite of the Western paradigms: not necessarily bound to mechanics of cause-effect and the study of only physical effects and causes, these medical practices are based on a more holistic conception of the body, which focuses on energetic connections between the individuals and the universe, seeing the functioning organism as a microcosm bound with a broader macroscopic order.
