“Gwái” (鬼) means “Ghost” in Cantonese. I was inspired by one of my childhood doodles- a little ghost.
It’s interesting to note that “Gwái” is often used in Cantonese slang, with one of the most commonly used being “Gwái Lou” (鬼佬), a slang for white people. But don’t worry, my Gwái series is all about cute and adorable ghosts!
I’ve always been fascinated by the creative Cantonese slang and decided to create this series of Gwái. And the best part is, I’ll be adding more adorable Gwái into this series, so stay tuned!
