Kasing Lung (b. 1972, Hong Kong), started his collaboration with How2work in Hong Kong as an illustrator in 2011, releasing illustrated story books and a series of collectible figures. His first illustrated book in Chinese, My Little Planet, was published in Taiwan in 2013. In 2014, Belgian publisher De Eenhoorn published a children’s illustrated book, Lizzy Wil Dansen, his collaboration with renowned storybook writer Brigitte Minne.


In 2015, Lung began producing the story series “The Monsters,” which was strongly influenced by Nordic mythology. A series of figures under the same title has been released from How2Work and, among them, the rabbit-ear character “Labubu” gained tremendous popularity and has been released in more than 300 colors, shapes and sizes.


In recent years, the artist has been based in Hong Kong and Belgium, focusing on producing painting. In 2020, he held his first solo art exhibition, “THIS IS WHAT IT FEELS LIKE”, at Hidari Zingaro in Tokyo.


The ears, eyes, nose and teeth are attached to the hat through a magnetic bowl in the center and can be removed.


Signed and dated 'KASING 2026' (on the right ear); signed again twice and dated again 'KASING LUNG KASING LUNG 2026' (on the interior magnet).
