and more…

Date: Saturday 19 February 2011, 10am to 5pm

Kult Issue #5 FEAR – Zoophobia

Taking a leaf from Fei’s contribution, here is mine for the current issue of Kult. I was really stoked to have received the brief – zoophobia. When I drafted this out, I kept thinking about how “killing with cuteness” would pan out.

Marker on Mac

Hi everyone, it’s been a pretty whirlwind 2010 and I’m glad to finally make my second post here in OIC. Many thanks to Mindflyer, MrB and Flee for all the amazing opportunities. Thought I’d share my first love – doodling. Here is a custom for a DJ in HK done with paint markers on a macbook pro.

Anitya I An experimental performance by The Observatory featuring Artist-Illustrator Andy Yang

Hi guys, these are some the photos for last night’s event Anitya I by The Observatory featuring our very own talented Andy Yang at Lasalle Earl Lu Gallery. Borrowing from the Buddhist mandala ritual, Singapore art-rock band The Observatory puts on a performance series exploring the relationship between music and non-musical art form. It is a unique and one of its kind live performance both visually and musically for those who were able to experience it live.

All photos taken by the awesome Fleecircus.
