DREAM ON

Tango

DREAM ON is a collection of (text-less) cartoons by Shanghai-based artist, Gao Youjun, who goes by the name "Tango". The series started in 2010 as a bet with a friend about whether he can draw a cartoon everyday.
Five years and 1500+ pieces later, Tango and his cartoons have turned into an internet phenomenon: he has 560,000 followers on Weibo (Chinese Twitter); his cartoons are constantly seen on Instagram and have been exhibited in Shanghai, Paris, Brussels, Korea, Hong Kong and Taiwan. In 2017 he will have an exhibition in Chelsea Market, New York.

DREAM ON is a carefully selected collection of Tango's cartoons, all surrounding the them of "dreams".
