Elphonso Lam is an artist, toy designer and vocalist for one of Hong Kong’s punk rock bands Climax (高潮樂隊).

An comic-style illustration of Climax’s band members below. See the actual illustration at Climax’s official website at www.climax.hk. (Some rude gestures and mild vulgarities (hey, it’s punk music ;p - do not view if this offends you :) If the above link doesn’t work, go to the official site and click on the ninth link from the top.

Two contrasting examples of his artwork I found on the web.

Credits go to www.kubrick.com.hk and chingco.blogspot.com for the photos - pretty hard to find pictures of Elphonso’s artwork because I couldn’t find Elphonso’s website other than his band’s official site :(

Elphonso also designs toys, see an example - Punk Rock Cowboy from Hot Toys HK below.

First saw his artwork in SG at The Substation in Feb 2007 at Comix Magneto, an showcase on 27 of Hong Kong’s top independent cartoonists co-presented with Hong Kong Art Centre. You can read press article about Comix Magneto at The Substation’s Visual Arts archive.

For those interested in the artwork exhibited at Comix Magneto, chingco.blogspot.com has a nice post with photos of some of the exhibits.
