Graphic Airlines 是來自香港的藝術創作組合——由 Tat 與 Vi 於 2002 年共同創立，自此展開創作之旅。

我們以奇幻搞怪的「阿肥宇宙（Fattyverse）」以及廣受喜愛的標誌性角色「阿肥（Ar Fei）」而聞名——憑藉著標誌性的圓潤線條與獨具魅力的「醜萌美學」，我們將獨樹一格的風格延伸至街頭藝術、視覺設計、藝術玩具（Art Toys）及跨媒體創作等多元領域。我們的作品曾與 Nike、Adidas、agnès b. 等國際知名品牌跨界合作，展覽足跡更遍及香港、巴黎、紐約、柏林等地。

如今，我們正拓展更廣闊的天空：未來將有更多全新角色、新鮮冒險，以及永無止境的創意之旅。無拘無束，永無終點。

重要里程碑

2002 Take Off

Tat, a newspaper graphic designer by day, started a website after hours to showcase his work. He met Vi—fresh grad from CityU Creative Media—and together they launched Graphic Airlines.
From that chance connection, the duo took flight, exploring endless creative skies.

2006 TRASH TALK - First project

G.A.'s first novel, published by Graphic Airlines & Kubrick, was the inception of "Trash Talk" in 2002. This novel gathers early sketches, clay figures, and dolls created over the course of four years.

The narrative of "Trash Talk" unfolds in a world overwhelmed by waste. Its inhabitants survive by scavenging from the debris that rains down from the sky. Their existence hinges on consuming whatever scraps they can salvage from the heaps of trash that surround them.

2006 ST/ART - Street art collective

The group exhibition "450/Sq.FT." @ idN was a significant milestone for Graphic Airlines.

Post 90's represents a generation brimming with infinite possibilities, one that defies confinement or definition. In this artwork, they amalgamated the distinctive traits of this generation to craft a space teeming with vibrant colors. Within this space, creatures reminiscent of amoebas or microorganisms dwell, symbolizing the exploration of a microscopic world or a universe abundant with potential. The exhibition invited viewers to embark on a journey alongside Dinosaur from Sport b and Ar Fei, illustrating how each individual, despite their seemingly small presence in the vast universe, harbors their own universe filled with boundless power, awaiting exploration and discovery.

A total of 30 resin sculptures were exhibited in NIKE stores and the most renowned toy shop in town, "Superman Toys". To embody the spirit of "I Got Next", it's time to shine when you step onto the basketball court, to be brave and fearless.

2019 K11 Musea

At K11 Musea in 2019, Graphic Airlines' artworks drew inspiration from old-school sailor tattoos, serving as the main idea for the ceiling and floor designs on the 3rd floor of the mall. These artworks resembled tattoo motifs spread across the ceiling and floor, creating a distinctive visual effect and ambiance. This concept complemented the works of other artists such as American artist Ron English and local creative groups like Parent’s Parents, Simple Bao, Katol @ Start From Zero, enriching the street art theme of K11 Musea.
