AnnGee’s Editorial Illustrations for HWM Oct and Dec Issue

Mindflyer’s Note:
Editorial illustrations in Singapore is another market where young illustrators can hone their illustrating skills . Though the rates are low, the work can be interesting, challenging and easier to come by. Often the editor  or creative director would have a style in mind but most are open to trying new styles or techniques. Never let the lower fees discourage you or make you put in less efffort- always do your utmost; you never know who may see it and remember it – it may lead to future better assignments.

Concept sketch and style was given by the editorial team, so I only had to do one sketch. They wanted to show Hua Wei growing like a giant beanstalk and beating the rest of the competitors. I did have a bit of freedom to deviate from the style that was given.

Below are some recent works by AnnGee. You can view more of AnnGee’s work here: http://cargocollective.com/anngee

HuaWei Beanstalk

I usually do pretty tight sketches for editorials so the CD/editors don’t have to guess too much and not too many changes will be done after the illo is rendered. Sketches for editorial are mostly done digitally so I can edit them quickly when needed.

Final artwork done in Photoshop.

Mindflyer’s iForum illustration for &Larry

Had the privilege to work with the &Larry’s team for a new year end promo at Takashimaya’s iForum. Super fun job illustrating my imaginary super fun playground. This is a variation of my earlier work- “Children’s World” but at a more crazy level! Don’t ask me what I eat, I just DRAW !

Andy Yang’s solo show “Emotions”

This is a new solo show by Andy Yang- The ‘Emotions’ series came about as a reaction to music soundscapes composed beforehand and repeated to create a trance-like painting style strongly rooted in Abstract Expressionism. Raw emotions are invoked as layers upon layers of paint are laid down like tracks on a musical score creating a visual map of emotions.
