Surprise Guest – Tiger Beer Ad campaign

Surprise Guest, 40″ x 28″, acrylic on board

This painting was for Tiger Beer’s Advertising campaign throughout 2012-2013.  Few weeks ago I received an email from a Tiger Translate’s producer asking if I would like to be one of 20 artists who would be representing 20 cities across Asia. I was invited to represent Ulan-Bator, Mongolia, my home town where I grew up. It was a great pleasure and an honor and I was excited to paint a part of my home town.

Ulan-Bator is one of the fastest developing cities in Asia and I wanted to capture its energy in my illustration by including young people and the buildings that are traditional and modern.
I also wanted to show power of the tiger by placing it in the center of the composition and giving it a lots of details.

I was painting this piece on 42′ x 30″ illustration board and had the hardest time getting around it. The thin illustration board was bending every time I move it. Sometimes I had to lay it on the floor or a table or on the easel. Next time when I do a big piece it will either be on a canvas or on a wooden board.
