Reel Life With…Wei Wu! Step into the dream-like world of illustrator Wei Wu as she explores what inspires her surreal, unapologetically feminine and otherworldly design style. 🫧☁️ Born and raised in China, Wei’s style is influenced by the rituals she grew up with, the bold colours that surrounded her, and her experiences navigating the modern world as a young woman. Passionate about embracing storytelling within her work, Wei combines metaphors and symbols with diffused textures and playful palettes to craft work that feels immersive and evocative. ✨ Wei’s work has been seen around the world in campaigns for global brands such as Amazon, always aiming to bring to life a feeling, a dream, or a slice of life that feels as though you can reach out and touch. See more of Wei’s work at our website 🌷 #illustration #craft #ReelLifeWith #design #creative

@wenateng recently spent two weeks in the Southern Chinese eco-village of Guinan. Today, she writes about what she learnt from her time slowing down and truly connect with the land. “I had always studied urban labour economics and industrial policy, but the Earth and the people who tend to it every day can give you many gentle reminders,” Wena writes. “Traditional ecological knowledge can converge to reimagine economies that regenerate rather than extract, from communities like Guinan Village to ethnic enclaves like Flushing, the New York neighbourhood where I grew up. In lieu of the false binary between labour and climate, our economies are sustained by the labour of collective care and ecological stewardship.” 🎨 @_wei.wu_ who says: “In this illustration, I depict the surreal experience of moving from the fast-paced rhythm of city life into the quiet stillness of the countryside, where it feels as though everything around you has shifted. The central figure represents not only the author, but also a broader group of individuals seeking to reconnect with their roots in different ways — whether through memory, place, or personal history. In the background, villagers are continuously building and shaping their own community. Through this piece, I hope to invite viewers to reconsider the relationship between people and the land, and to reflect on the interconnected dynamics between economy and ecology.” https://shado-mag.com/articles/do/12-days-in-guinan-village/

Chinamaxxing? Newly Chinese? In a very Chinese time of your life? It’s all orientalist fantasy, writes culture editor @ning_aling “As a writer in the Chinese diaspora, it took me months to chew on my feelings and thoughts about the Chinamaxxing trend before I felt empowered to commit them to paper. At first, I didn’t know whether I ought to be curiously positive or plain insulted. I’ve been diaspora Chinese my whole life, and I’ve had an uncomfortable suspicion aimed at this enthusiastically “Chinese” population for a while, waiting to put my finger on what made me unhappy about it.” Swipe through to read Ning’s ‘eight notes on how everybody wants to be Chinese now’, and read the full article on https://shado-mag.com/articles/opinion/everyone-wants-to-be-chinese-but-nobody-wants-to-be-chinese/ 🎨 @_wei.wu_

What a gallery Tickle News would be in real life 😱 Here's a round-up of (just) the main artists that were featured in Tickle News this past year. A get together of working weekends, teary eyes, ear-to-ear smiles & giddiness to read their responses, to have them on board. A happy place, if there ever was one. A soppy, heartfelt thanks to everyone who said yes✨ Please follow their work & support them in each and every way you can. I feel like our culture (and perhaps civilisation) stands at a crossroads: of principles, of values and of purpose. But, despite what the world's biggest and riches salesmen tell you, the choice is not made for you. And perhaps one of the best & surprisingly redeeming things about our consumerist culture is that, as a customer, client, consumer, brand, agency, whatever, you can still influence, if not dictate the direction. So please choose a direction with soul. And, of course, subscribe to Tickle News while you're at it ✨

In Wei's 2026 manifestation she depicts two inner halves of herself contemplating the unknown and uncertainty of the future, in her distinctly dream-like style with soft colours and diffused textures. 🫧 💜⁠ ⁠ 'In the image, the figure is bound like a cocoon, seemingly waiting for the right moment to break free and transform.'⁠ ⁠ Head to our website to see more from Wei ✨️
