About this event
Join us for an intimate evening with Trevor Lai, an award-winning author, illustrator, and CEO/Creative Director of UP Studios.
Trevor will share his fascinating journey as a creative entrepreneur, from growing up in Vancouver and publishing his first book at 17 years old, to founding one of the most successful animation studios in China, and directing over 200 episodes of the hit animated series, Super BOOMi. BOOMi also starred in the first ever CG-animated series with the NHL.
Just in time for the Year of the Rabbit, Trevor will highlight his behind-the-scenes process of designing the Canucks Lunar New Year jersey.
Trevor will also be available to sign books and the 2022 Vancouver Canucks' Lunar New Year jersey.
His books TOMO Takes Flight and TOMO Explores the World will also be available to purchase at Foo Hung Curios, located in the lobby of the Chinatown Storytelling Centre.

Please note that the 2023 Lunar New Year Vancouver Canucks jersey designed by Trevor will be unveiled on January 24th, 2023, at the v. Blackhawks game at 7 pm.
