< I have it ALL! mascot illustration series>
2026
I created a series of plant-inspired cartoon characters designed to bring positive energy and optimism to people. Each character carries an auspicious meaning directly in its name through Chinese wordplay and symbolism.
Together, the three characters form the series “I Have It All,” representing a joyful collection of blessings, good fortune, and abundance.
The first is “Good Shi” (好柿), representing good things and good luck, inspired by the fact that the Chinese word for “persimmon” sounds similar to the word for “things” or “matters.”
The second is “Golden Kumquat” (金桔), symbolizing wealth and prosperity, as the character “金” means “gold” in Chinese.
The third is “Fu-Lu” (福芦), a blessing-themed gourd character whose name plays on the similarity in pronunciation between “gourd” and “fortune/blessing” in Chinese.
