An excellent China adventure, illustrated

[This post has been updated] Louis Fishauf is a well-known and respected Toronto art director (who lives and works part-time in Kettleby, Ontario). Tomio Nitto is a Toronto illustrator. Bill Grigsby is a longtime artists' representative at Reactor Art Design Limited (which he and Fishauf founded 28 years ago) . 
The trio last month visited illustrator/artists Henrick Drescher and Wu Wing Yee in Dali, Yunnan, China. And, being visual types, they took a lot of pictures and whipped up a Flash-based slide show of their trip. (They must have been hungry, because there are lots of shots of food and markets.)

[Update: Louis Fishauf writes about how the "online-magazine" format is a viable way for print magazines to extend their editorial content.
There's no magazine that could devote 94 pages to a photo-essay on China for example, but online, the space available is unlimited. The double-page spread and the flip-page format mimic the magazine-reading experience, so it seems like a more natural extension of the print product. It's great for content that is primarily visual -- extended photo essays, artist profiles, home decor, architecture, travel, fashion spreads, etc. And of course, these online mag extensions could be advertiser-supported.]
