Enjoyable Saturday

Creative Monday
Before engaging full-time work after my recovery, I gave myself one last day-off to do some spontaneous creative works.

As the saying goes – “What doesn’t kill you […]

Studio Cleanup
Spent much of my weekend at the studio. I first dusted off the little illustration/cartooning area and used it to ink and color the illustration for the upcoming fellowship programme card design. I hope to utilize the area more in 2015 and do more illustrations/cartoons on my spare time. I also spent a lot of […]
