Pastime with Good CompanySep 2022 to Jan 2023
Pastime with Good Company is a storyboard project in 2022. It tells the story of Henry VII and his luxurious life. I further developed the whole storyboard into detailed illustrations and wrote the story by myself. Then I chose five panels to make hard ground etching plates. The etching prints received the Finalist in Hiii Illustration Award in 2022.
Here are some selected panels.



Darting and dashing, who would it be?
A teeny weeny little mouse
In the great grand Hampton Court!
Hurry up! Follow me!
Let me take you to a wonderful dream!
Here's the master cook of the house.
The servants are busy as usual.
For the king's feast shall be launched!
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Then they'll be the true love of mine.

No feast without music!
Listen to the singing song!
"Pastime with good company"
"I love and shall until I die"

"grudge who lust but none deny"
"so God be pleased"
"thus live will I"


But I am satisfied as a mouse.
I may go to sleep from now.
Poor Lady Catherine,

Then is Anne Boleyn
It pays a price to be his Queen!
"Company with honesty"
"Is virtue vices to flee."
"Company is good and ill"
"But every man has his free will."
"The best ensue, the worst eschew"
"My mind shall be."
"Virtue to use, vice to refuse"
"Thus shall I use me."
