Welcome to the world of PONYO PORCO, we are a design brand that focuses on hand-painted prints.
From the products to their overall imagery, we hope to deliver an impression that is magical, equipped with a sense of sleekness, and enriched with the literary metaphors in adult fairy tales.
Now, let us bring Ponyo Porco’s magic, colors, and warmth into your life.
Launched in the end of summer 2015, PONYO PORCO is a brand that focuses on the theme of hand-painted prints.
Co-founded by the designer duo, Lupa and Larry. PONYO PORCO is named after the two axolotls of the designers. On the logo, the two magical creatures are conjoined in a pair with asymmetric features in details, which not only suggests the harmonies and differences between individuals, but also symbolizes the brands philosophy.
The designer duo is specialized in using vivid visual language to create mythical imageries where harmony and contrast co-exist. The blend of magical, realistic printing patterns and simple, straight-forward cuts produces a unique fashion deconstruction. The visual concept hopes to inspire viewers to explore the intriguing narratives behind the designs by their imaginations. Moreover, PONYO PORCO uses its intuitive spirit and aesthetics with a soul to illustrate rhythmic and musical creations.
At the launch of the brand, we expected to surpass clothing categories and focus on hand-drawn patterns. The brand combines different media, applies unique visual concepts, and integrates their ingenuity to express a delicate sense of amusement. These are then extended into different products such as paper products, homeware, socks, hats, scarves, bags and clothes.
From the products to the overall imagery, we hope to deliver an impression that is magical, equipped with a sense of sleekness, and enriched with the literary metaphors in adult fairy tales.
Since we operate on small productions, we pay a lot of attention to the quality of our products. We hope to convey our diligence and sincerity to every customer, while making our high quality, unique products available to them at reasonable prices. We aim to deliver the feeling of collectibles and sustainability, rather than the pursuit of popular trends or fast fashion.
Although our company is currently at the start of its establishment, it has already expended a large amount of cost in preparatory operations, design, packaging, photography, human resource, and manufacturing.
As we hope to have more printing enthusiasts from abroad to support our vitality, we have released various combinations of promotions on this platform for sponsors around the world to obtain the most dedicated and high quality products.
[ The Floaters ]
In bedtime story, The sun and the witch with magic and crows Crocodiles, snakes, and mermaids swim in the Bermuda pool Girl in a split, color-changing tail, Skull and the amputated body Appears all in five chapters With images of innocence and chaos Branded in layers on the fabric As night approaches Choose a duvet for your body and mind tonight.
About the print
The collection of “Floaters” from season one comprised of 5 printing designs that were hand-painted by artist Lupa. They are respectively illustrated in: POOL, MERMAIDLAND, CHAOS IN PURITY, WITCH &CROWS , DARKCROWS.
Floaters literally refer to floating objects. As a result of the obsession for different floating organic forms, the complex and distorted conditions of all the characters are hidden under the seemingly fairytale-like decorations. In fact, this poses a question about the nil existence of people or objects in the world.
Lupa often creates characters with self-invented logics about the world, and loves to express a glimpse of cold, dark charm in her naïve style. She is especially attracted to seemingly inanimate organic forms, and also likes to demonstrate an event or scene narratively.
On the other hand, the brand’s image and graphic designer Larry, likes classic and coherent colors. He works on the main graphic visual designs and packaging designs. Colors are an especially important part of emphasis, and the colors of this season are a match of tender milk tea and calm, neutral sapphire.
Moreover, photographer Sydney Sie, is specially invited this season to express the visual effects of a constructed reality through authentic, forced-perspective, and non-composite photography, along with a mysterious and interesting story plot.
Now, after all these challenges and efforts, this collection can finally be displayed to everyone in the world here. It will introduce Ponyo Porco’s magic, charm, and colors to more people’s lives.

If delays happen along the way we will keep everyone fully updated. Please note that we have already included a bit of time padding to help avoid delays.
Our primary concern was whether the design’s expression could faithfully convey the brand spirit. Hence, we not only selected different backing fabric based on the different styles of each printing pattern before production, but also repeatedly proofed and corrected their colors. We also supervised the production process to ensure every sewing detail is well-done, as well as specially ordered custom-made clothing materials and accessories.
These troublesome and critical measures further refined the illustration of our clothing samples. We received successive invitations from foreign and local stylists, brans, bands, and independent magazine to work on photography and collaborative projects even before the full information was released to the general public! While we deeply appreciate the support from these great friends, we also become more determined in our beliefs.
Our original plan was to launch high quality and price-friendly products even if our profits would be reduced. We hope that everyone can wear our design with reasonable price in daily life. However, our expectation for high quality products and way of small productions drastically increased our cost. The only way to launch the products at the original prices is to have a sufficient number of orders. This is why we need to adopt the “Preorder & Crowdfunding” approach in order to successfully launch the branding project and production!
Please join the preorder if you like our works. Let’s activate PONYO PORCO’s branding project for the present and the future!
During this project, we need to accumulate preorders that worth at least $9,000 in order to launch the final stage of the production process, and deliver our products to your home.
The most recent progress on other crowdfunding projects will continue to be updated on this page, and email notifications will also be delivered to consumers/sponsors.

Larry is a graphic designer born in Taipei, 1990. Expressed artistic acuity at a young age.

Studied fine arts in university, and graduated from Chinese Culture University’s Department of Fine Arts in 2012, when he also won the top prize in the category of Western painting.

“Iridescent like the collective unconsciousness of an eternally sun-lit, tropical city of neon.”
Sydney Sie is a photographer as well as a graphic designer and Animator. She uses gradients of color, surreal imagery, the female body, and other graphical elements of composition, color, and layout to construct ambiguous, two dimensional worlds in her photographs.
Sydney Sie’s creative approach to photography is to create a strong impression of the external form with an implied narrative buried within. She deliberately uses the inertia of the viewer’s attention to move beyond the bright colors and into the narrative story.
Nominated: 2012 Melbourne International- Animation Festival (MIAF) Kinofest Festival Animex Festival Monstra Festival Golden Kuker -Sofia Festival Lucania Festival
