Hey, do you TTXS?

TTXS is not another geek speak. It stands for Tian Tian Xiang Shang in Chinese where:

Tian Tian refers to the little boy who is always curious and never shy to point at unknown things, and to raise questions; and

Xiang Shang means "looking up".

Created by Danny Yung, his TTXS conceptual comics encourage us to keep  'looking up every day' or 'day after day, looking up'. Subsequently, Tian Tian was transformed into a figurine.  

Tian Tian's white 3-dimensional body represents:
a) a blank piece of paper full of possibiiities; and
b) a platform for discussion, engagement and creativity.

And, you might just be able to get your hands working on a replica TT by checking out online stores such as ZIXAG.
