I have been to Thailand for a couple of weeks and it has been really nice. It has been great weather – sunny, no clouds and the water in the sea was perfect temperature. I will post some pictures from Thailand further on.
As you might recollect, I have drawn a some time ago. It is posted here on the blogg (Wohill). I even made a cool . Back to the story again… I was walking about getting some things in the shopping-mall called Tesco Lotus. It is a chain that is all over Thailand and I think even in China. When walking about looking for some food I saw that they sell lots of other things too. TV’s, computers, movies, bikes, toys – you name it, they seem to have it. They also sell clothes and this is where it gets interesting… Walking down an aisle Magnus, who is also travelling with me, pops round the corner and says: Have you seen this cool kid’s shirt? And what is he holding up – a shirt with my design on it – The Dragon Tattoo! So they have printed up two types of shirts with the Wohill dragon. One with an Asian symbol over it as you can see in the picture below and one with the whole dragon. The company, LEOkids, that have made the shirt have stolen my design – as you can guess they haven’t asked, informed or paid me anything for this – it’s just there!
They seemed to have liked the design, the dragon, but not done more than that. Nice that they thought it was trustworthy made by somebody on the other side of the world. I guess a dragon is a dragon all over the world – even if I made it into a dragon inspired by Chinese artists.
So I will try to contact them and see what they have to say – I’ll keep you posted. Or if you know anyone that works or has a connection to LEOkids – please let me know. If Tesco Lotus has anything to do with LEOkids, except buying clothing from them, I don’t know.
It will be interesting to hear what they have to say…
