Paper Peril

Hello Everyone! I’ve just completed my packing and last-minute checks of my luggage before I leave for my flight to Toronto tomorrow morning, so here’s some photos of the books Saph and myself will be selling at TCAF!

Saph’s book, @venturer.com, is pretty thick (almost 60+ pages if I remember correctly) and in full colour, and will be going for 10 CND a book. My books on the other hand are monotone will be sold at 4 CND (Across The Causeway, The Road Not Taken) and 6 CND (Across The Causeway 2) respectively.

We’re located at Booth 214, so please give us some love if you’ll be headed to the Toronto Reference Library this weekend!

…Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a 22 hour flight to look forward to! See you at TCAF!

It’s a big day for Malaysia tomorrow and though this may come a little late, I implore those of you (Malaysians of course!) who are already registered voters to go out and vote!

No matter who you’re voting for, and no matter what your beliefs are, it’s important that you take a stand and have your say about who will run our beloved country.

Every vote counts!

Here’s the coloured cover for the second print run of my self-published journal comic compilation I released mid-2012, remastered exclusively for TCAF.

I keep a comic journal about my life flitting between Malaysia and SIngapore, and it was only last year that I decided that I had enough material to make into a book, so I took a chance and did.

If you’re wondering what the contents are like, here are some sample pages plucked from this tumblr: 1 2 3 4

It’s 40 pages thick and going at 4 CND a pop! Do drop by my booth at TCAF if you’re going, I love meeting new people!

Now that the last hurdle has been cleared (Visa received!), I guess it’s safe to post this particular entry…and I’m going to just say it here to make it official: I’M GOING TO TCAF!

The original plan was for Saph and I was to go on a trip to Toronto, Canada, that would coincide with TCAF…but somewhere along the way Saph asked me to try my luck and apply for a booth.

I honestly never thought that I’d make it through the selection process (since the number of applicants increase every year!) so you can only imagine my (belated) elation when I received my booth confirmation e-mail (note: I was in the lab when I read the e-mail so I had to suppress my urge to run around in circles while screaming until lunchtime).

So yeah, if you happen to be a Torontoian (does that term exist?) or will be at TCAF, do drop by my booth! Even if it’s just to say hello!

I’m still in the process of putting together my book, but I’ll definitely be posting up more stuff in the days leading up to TCAF! /goes back to editing pages

This is the one and only coloured page from my 24 Hour Comic, which you could see in the previous photoset I posted.

The event organiser asked if I could submit one of the pages in colour for their display, so I obliged and barfed a rainbow over it. 

COLOUR SENSE I NO HASSSSS

Sharing these photos here because Stephani, a friend from Indonesia (and talented storyboarder) forced asked me to.

These were taken during the launch of the 24 Hour Comics Exhibition at the Singapore National Library in Jurong, the first stop of three for the three month long exhibition.

If you’re wondering why there’s suddenly a photograph of three girls posing, it’s because I featured them in the bonus section of the self-published version of my 24-Hour Comic (HA!).

Credits for the photos go out to Sarah and Jillian.

Another old-er piece from my travelling comic journal. Uneditted this time because of the watercolours!

Yes, I was still stuck in the cellphone stone age until early this year when I finally decided to take the plunge and get a ‘Smart’ Phone. Now I’m addicted to LinePlay. Send help.

Posting up something ‘old’, just to keep up with things! I’m really terrible when it comes to keeping this place up-to-date with my latest art! Timeline-wise though, this was done after I was done with my Adventure Time fancomic, so it kind of fits…somewhat?

Also, to the new followers of this blog, thank you! I don’t really draw a lot of fanart but I sure hope you’ll stick around! =)

Part 2 of my Simon and Marcy-centric comic.

If any of you read Marceline and The Scream Queens, perhaps the last page will look familiar to you. =)

You can read Part 1 here.

Since the ‘Simon and Marcy’ Adventure Time episode will be shown next week, I figured it’s about time I shared my Simon and Marcy-centric comic I did for the Adventure Time Comic Anthology spearheaded by Saph for Comic Fiesta 2012, which is now sold out.

This is the first batch of pages, and the continuation can be found here: Part 2

This was my first attempt at doing a full colour comic, so I referenced the colour palettes in the Adventure Time comics by BOOM! Studios quite a bit. Still putzing my way through Photoshop!

Anyway, enjoy!
