2. My "partner in crime" Andy Yang . Wonderful sparring buddy and music pimp!!
3. Fei for counting days for me and giving me valuable feedback & comments and making sure I stay focussed. Priceless!!

Had a good time painting the 2 Nike Bearbrick bears based on my 2 favourite slogans. Must find more toys to paint!! Thanks to Zaki for recommending.

Exorcising my "demons" with Photoshop and doodling again. Day in day out.

Part of "Fleeting Butterfly" series, painted as i go through more unsettling moments.

Part of afew pieces of personal work I have painted to capture my mood for this year. 2007 is getting very weird for me. I am starting to see more green in my work. I was never into green. I must have been doped!! Painted in photoshop.

Abusing my Rhodia with acrylic paint is sheer magic.

I drew this girl as part of a series of 4 kiddy postcards for my wife. Original linework was drawn on very nice paper (off-cuts) supplied by my good friend Jane of RJ paper.

Drippin' ink and droppin' lines from my ol' trusty Lamy. Get paid for gettin' high doodling is mindwhack!!
