For the most part, the Changchun Friends website is not very active and has been superseded by the Tencent "Wechat" app by the local expat community. This website is maintained sporadically, people may still join and membership is still open, but if you are a spammer, stay away. The archived information here is still useful, but some may be out of date. There are plans to make it more useful for static information in the future. If anyone needs information about Changchun or China, you may post a message and it probably will get a response but not immediately.

Changchun Friends

a great way to get involved

Just a preview to get comments as there are so many new Choones. Hope you like it.

I have finished 50 new Choonies this week alone and have more to do so I am pushing real hard to not disappoint people. If I have you on my IPad then I will get to you. If I haven't stuck my IPad in your face over the last month or so then send me a good photo - best where both ears are in view - i.e. straight face - then I can draw easily. First come, first served so be quick.

I have been posting for over a month and that is the idea. You tell me who you want on your card and I'll do the rest. If the character is not already Choonied then supply a good photo and I'll do it for a small contributiion to the Shangri-La charity.

I am offering digital cards and have made a big effort to cartoon as many people as I can and I have finished a bunch more and will post them too soon. So if you can help me advertise it then please do, I welcome your help as I seem to be not getting through as you are suggesting my idea back to me - I'm not too good at marketing by the look of it.

Volume 2 of the Choonies is also finished and will be ready for print soon too.

So please help me push these as all profits go to charity.

So Richards please tell me what you want - the Nanhu bridge or Cultural square are the 2 backgrounds I have prepared so far but I'm open to others. Just choose the people you want as Jeff, Garret, Brooke, Mark and others have done and I'll do the rest. But it takes time so get in early.

Sorry Richard I deleted your blog by accident trying to edit mine.

Names I can't give all as I just photo and then draw but they all exist. Most are quite near as Alex from Culture Club.

As for cards - that's the point Richard and I have already done quite a few and have several more on order.

Martin - how about creating individual Christmas cards - to order?
I would buy 3 of myself and May to send home to family

Martin, how about a list of names

For those who are not yet cartooned - I am working on more but this is over 30 new characters so be patent. This cartoon is really to display the new characters so you can comment on and I  haven't had time to create actual themes yet. I have quite a few requests outstanding which will deal with shortly.

If you want a original copy for Christmas cards please contact me and for a small donation to the Shangri-La Hotel Christmas Charity Market - i will send you the original. Note that this is a draft copy and it will change and get a lot better.
