Art creation can be an expression of feelings, or simply a message to communicate with others. Though different art forms (like drawing, music, writing, dancing, and so on) may vary, they are all reflecting the thoughts of the creators, and the Zeitgeist of the society they are living.

In this sharing session, Scale Modeler Adam Hung will tell his story of turning his model-m aking hobby into a career, and the difficulties he has encountered. As a full-time creator, he will also share his experience in facing different challenges in the era of uncertainty.

Don’t stop moving. Don’t stop dreaming.

Adam Hung is a full-time scale modeler based in Hong Kong. He worked as a graphic designer after his graduation in CUSCS, then he resigned and opened his own N.Maker studio as a modeler and model-making tutor.

He may be ordinary, but not mediocre. Though his archivements are not conceived as something big, he keeps creating models and successfully survive with his own creations.
