things well done | unidentified marker graffiti ::

:: I came across this video, titled Beijing£ showcasing a Chinese “marker graffiti” artist doing pieces across several large-print photographs and canvases. The video is excellent as is the artist’s work, the problem is, I can’t seem to find any information about either.

I have also posted two related photos below that I found on this nondescript, UK-based blog. The photos appear to be stills from the video, or at least showing work done by the same artist (or crew perhaps?) as the tags match: Hong Kong Walled City and Syan. Does anyone have any more information about this artist / crew or video? If so, please kindly comment below or send me an email at: 56 minus 1 at gmail dot com. Many thanks.  // AjS

[UPDATE: The artist is Hong Kong-based creative extraordinaire Chan Kwong Yan, also known as MC Yan, Chinaman, and Syan. I should have know that as Mr. Lan referenced him in a video I did with Shanghai graffiti artists last year.]
