For the last saturday of the year, we will be having our sketchwalk along Orchard Road. This will be our chance to capture the christmas decorations before they come down. (christmas is still on considering there are supposed to be 12 days of it.) Here is the plan:
10AM- Meet outside ION’s entrance (where the colourful sculptures are. Facing Tangs)
1PM- Meet at Scape (outside Toastbox) We will either head for the basement or one of the higher floors of Scape
where we will have space for “show and tell”. Then we will have lunch around the area.
Weather report say that saturday will be stormy. But we will have plenty of shopping centres to hide in if it does. If you feel overwhelmed when you think of Orchard Road, too many things to draw, and the crowds, then think along these lines -
1. isolate smaller interesting things. eg, just one decoration or one shop.
2. Use the crowds to your advantage. You can hide among them to sneak a drawing of interesting people.
3. Go into and around the malls to explore and draw. Some interesting ones are ION (interesting curves inside and outside. Outside Prologue bookstore could be nice to draw), Lucky plaza (with a lot of maids on leave), Mandarin Gallery (they have nice big chairs to sit inside), Scape(interesting building design. Dance classes upstairs.), and youth park (across from Scape. it’s not a mall. but it could be interesting.) You could also capture buskers in the underground tunnels (between Tangs and ION. Between Lucky Plaza and Takashimaya.)
See you there!

I’ve just launched a new comic collection called “Animal & other short comics.” There are 6 stories in here. There is a lone man deciding if he should go home, a dimension traveller who bumps into an old friend, a young man who tries to befriend a loner in an advertising agency, and other strange stories. Some are true stories. Some are fictional. And I’ve experimented with a few drawing styles here to match the feel of each story. Mediums used include ballpoint, carpenter’s pencil, brush, hero pen, pencil, wash, and photoshop. This book is self-published, and hand-made. It is black and white, printed on 100gsm munken paper (off-white) and is 44pages + the cover. If you are interested in owning a copy, you may purchase it online HERE, or at Books Actually and Woods in the Books.

I’ve finally got around to shooting the illustrations that appear in Young Parents Magazine. They were too difficult to scan and I didn’t want to tear them out from their bindings. I worked on these illustrations with Rachel Lim, the art director at SPH. She did the layouts and helped with the concepts. They were sketched on paper and then coloured over in with photoshop.

Pacific Diptych is an exhibition by 2 Filipino artists Miel in Singapore and Jose Tence Ruiz in the Phillipines. They explore the theme traversing – from past to present, between homeland and their adopted cities, identities, imagination at the same time traversing to be together again in a congress of re-examined icons.
For this exhibition, both artists attempt to bridge the geographic distance between themselves with their artwork, transcending freely into their own imaginations revolving itinerant heroes and transnational blunders. They take inspiration from fellow global Filipinos Jose Rizal and David Medalla, questioning their roots as well as discovering their own beginnings. This exhibition is part of the highlights of Filipino Art Trek in November 2011. Exact details below :
Date: 8th November 2011 – 29th November 2011
Venue : Artesan Gallery+ Studio, 793 Bukit Timah Road, #02-01 Singapore 269765
All OIC members are welcome to the opening on the 8th of November.
