EEPMON was commissioned to create two permanent digital murals for the Jackson Café, located within the Ottawa Art Gallery (OAG). Operated by Le Germain Hotels, the café serves as a cultural and culinary hub, featuring offerings from Café Saint-Henri microroasters and Maison Oddo. The official launch on September 7, 2023, welcomed over 100 guests to celebrate the integration of contemporary digital art into this premier community space.

The mural above titled, Looking Within the Shadows of the Red Sun dimensions is 265 x 122.8″ (22.1 x 11.67′)

In a commitment to community support, the two mural designs have been released as archival-quality 17×11 inch prints, available exclusively at the Ottawa Art Gallery Shop. A percentage of the proceeds from these sales is donated to the Glebe Centre Long-Term Care Home, specifically benefiting the Chinese Seniors Unit. This initiative allows patrons to bring a piece of the installation into their own environments while supporting local charitable efforts.

In 2016, EEPMON served as the creative branding consultant and designer for Queen’s Cafe, the heritage restaurant group based in Hong Kong and Beijing. Established in 1952, the company sought a modern brand element to engage a younger demographic while honouring its storied history.

In response, EEPMON conceptualized and developed “Miss Queen’s,” a dedicated icon mascot designed to serve as the central anchor for the brand’s visual identity. This character now leads all Queen’s Cafe branding initiatives, spanning retail environments, catering services, and exclusive merchandise, as well as digital presence through social media and original comic illustrations.

The branding for Queen’s Cafe and the creation of the Miss Queen’s mascot were featured in the book Mascots of Design, published by SendPoints. The publication highlights the project as a case study in effective character-driven branding and mascot design.

Over 100 illustrations were created for Queen’s Cafe.
