It’s finally done! Remember the pencil-crossbow, 4 x pencil-sharpener and the various attachment-heads?

They are made for Drawing Out Conversations (PART II Hong Kong).

Hello all,

Choon Lin and I will be collaborating on an artwork at the SMU Arts Festival.

It’s from 9-24 January 2009.

Our work will be titled SUNGEI ROADSTERS.

We are going to build a beefed up version of a Karang Guni cart.

It Means I’m Way Cooler Than Cool!

A Worldly View

My drawings are usually generated by imagination, naivety and an incapability to understand difficult issues. I wonder how the world will be if everyone can enjoy pure pleasure without mulling over costs and benefits.

A Worldly View perceives terrorists as spoil-joys who have clearly forgotten how to have fun and rather carry out elaborate pranks just to dampen the mood.

Printed on advertising banners and in red-yellow just like McDonald’s, the drawings seem to be calling out loudly for audiences to receive its messages.

Oh Man… Hope They Like It

December 3, 2008 · Leave a Comment

I’m actually making works for Zoukout. It’s weird to be doing it because I have never understood the clubbing culture.

Anyway, I’m making five drawings. It has to be drawings because it’s the easiest thing to do when you have three shows from now till New Year. They are going to be printed huge on banners (6 x 2m) and hung, of course, on coconut trees. I’m worried about the lighting. I hope they have floodlights.

I hope they like it because they look rather gory. It’s about playing with guns and weapons when you have so many other fun stuff in this world.

I’ll probably turn them into t-shirts. I think they will be cool. Maybe I can get someone to do it, heat transfer printing has really got to that stage that it’s so much convenient and looks just as great as silkscreens. I am tempted to try.
