One of several illustrations for a short story by Ray Friesen, whom I met at NYCC last year 
It’s for his upcoming collection “Fairytales I Made Up”

Been working on the interior pages for the comic with Gene Yang (see below) but had a chance to take a quick break and do a cover for Michael Chwe’s “Jane Austen: Game Theorist“ from Princeton University Press.
Done in a day, which led to the realisation that half the work for covers/pages involves sourcing for visual reference; in this case everything was at hand from the Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice days, so it was much quicker going :p
Some pages of the near-to-complete comic meanwhile!
Donald Ducked

Got a copy of Walt Disney Comics from Dell circa 1958 recently, and found a Donald Duck story that had echoes of Stinky Fish Blues!
Coincidence? Or did they travel back in time after reading Malinky Robot? :p

Happy 2013 to one and all and here’s a pencil page from the upcoming comic with Gene Yang meanwhile!

Some of the pics taken for the NAC LAVA project….

With Nik and Xueling.
That’s Gilbert on the left and Paul Tan on the right.
Kiruthiga on the far right here had to deal with paperwork and endless changes from all directions in getting the project going and completed!
Straits Timing
Posted in Uncategorized with tags LAVA, messi, mural, punggol, straits times on December 11, 2012 by sonnyliew
Coverage of the LAVA project led to a front page pic of the Punggol Mural Project in today’s Straits Times!
A writeup of LAVA in the interiors, though unfortunately despite some prodding no real mentions of the secret robot spy team who helped with the mural…… so a list again of all those who did a lot of the heavy lifting:
Nik Tao, Xu Mingjie, Alan Leong, Reuben Ashley,Pang Xueling, Kooichi, Chanel Kang, Cassie Koh, Khoo Siew May, Chan Shiuan, Grace Chew and Le En
The Best Secret Robot Spies you could ever hope to find! :p
And, yes, Lionel Messi is the most astonishing football player of this and possibly very many lifetimes.
