Chi-Ming Yeung

I set up EyeCon Graphics & Illustration in 1995 to sell my artwork and design service. My interests are diversed, you will find a great variety of work on this website.

When I was a kid, I was fortunate to have access to great picture books. My uncle kept tons of Life magazines and other pictorial publications. He had an incredible Illustrated London News and a Famous Paintings over-size book. Needless to say, I borrowed many of them so that I could enjoy it at home.

Then I started collecting stamps, comic books and Revell box-art covers. I would copy my favourite artists style and started painting ships and airplanes.

I grew up in Hong Kong and from where I lived I could see the harbour with all sorts of ships. On one occasion, I got on board an ocean liner and on another my father took me to the British navy yard on its open day. This sew the seeds of my life-long passion with ships.

After high school, I went to study graphic design in UK. With the training of typography and visual communication, I developed an interest in creating diagrams and maps. After graduation, I returned to Hong Kong and earned my living as a graphic designer and later as an art and design teacher.

After I moved to Vancouver in 1995, I continued my career as a graphic designer and I also began to do illustration work. My passion of painting came back to me in recent years. I joined the Burnaby Artist Guild in 2007 and I started to paint again.

My wife Karmen assists me in many ways. We are a team. She always supply me with refreshing ideas, suggestions and comments.

When we are not working, we will watch movies, listen to music, go traveling or enjoy simple family life at home here in Vancouver.
