my submission for the life matters coffin design as a lead up to the live drawing session to be held next month.

completed the illustration, design and theme copy for l’oreal maybelline’s exclusive compact gift pack with pouch giveaway. the theme i came up with was “talk of the town” to align with maybelline new york’s penchant for city style and also to allow me to introduce speech bubbles as part of the illustration pattern. props to avril and jerraine from maybelline for being absolute delights to work with.

the design was also featured in the straits times, singapore’s national newspaper as part of a series of makeup products using illustrations.

and as stories go, my mom did tell me that the first time she caught me doodling was when i was barely two. i decided then to introduce her lipstick to her bedroom wall. ironic that the association with makeup would resurface.

was invited to contribute a couple of collab pieces with photographer edwin tan. the theme is the refurbishment of the old tiong bahru estate. organized by orange thimble cafe and flab slab, photographers were asked to capture scenes in black and white and visual artists add color with their illustrations. more photos of the event here.

my collaboration with singpost has hit the stores (see list below). available under singpost’s enveloopy gift series inspired by mail themes, the wanton doodle collaboration is the first of its kind with a local artist. i created hermes, the carrier pigeon character for this collaboration. props to peggy, doris and team for being such an amazing bunch to work with. you may purchase the items at the singpost roadshows going on from now till xmas or go to the vpost online shop.

featured in playtimes magazine issue 03, a toy and design magazine by play imaginative.

singapore cable car x oic (organisation of illustrators council) cable car design as part of national day celebrations. invited as one of the 10 oic artists to design stickers to wrap the cable cars. since the fireworks display has always been the highlight of national celebrations, i incorporated it into my design along with other iconic visuals of singapore. click here for more photos.

submission for marigold peel fresh’s 25th anniversary design competition. won the judges’ choice award.

had the honour of contributing to the fun pack design. having grown up watching the skyline change at an unerring rate, i am amazed and proud of the exact and deliberate planning that goes into shaping our cityscape as well as the sheer speed with which this tiny red dot is growing both in terms of infrastructure as well as presence. so i decided the visual should be done in a continuous line to represent the collective and unceasing effort we have put in. coincidentally the straits times, singapore’s main newspaper, carried the photo-story on the front page along with a separate article on MAS (monetary authority of singapore). what are the odds, eh?
