“Drawings for My Grandchildren”

One weekend, I saw my friend Ji Lee post a video telling the story of how he inspired his dad to take up painting. Suddenly, the video had over 250,000 views and Grandpa Chan became an internet sensation.  Monday morning, I told Ji that I wanted one of the T-Rex pictures, and the online gallery was born.  Together, Ji and I built a business for his dad that enabled Grandpa Chan to sell his art around the world. We built an online gallery and e-commerce platform, marketing campaign, and distribution system. After two years in operation, Grandpa Chan’s has brought joy to thousands of people and his work has been seen in museum spaces globally.
