The paint brush is the first and cheapest software for Benny Lau, illustrator, graphic artist and product designer.

Over the past decade, Benny has created works stemming from his interest and sensibility in cultural and social engagement. The creations of Benny, among them graphic, objects and illustrations, have received international recognition and awards.

Illustration is his medium of expression. At once intuitive and sensitive, light in touch and deep in thoughts, Benny's illustrations embody the artist's belief in the human touch in communication.
Finding inspiration from the natural and human worlds, his drawings are journeys through the wonders and rhythms of life and living forms.
The whimsical interplay on color, media and composition, richly reflects his graphic design background.

Based in Hong Kong, Benny is currently on a research adventure about sustainable design in London.
