PLEASE INTRODUCE YOURSELF
An Asian urban artist + Designer + Sometimes a party monkey.
Great painting for the Singapore-based artist and party monkey
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR WORK?
My style makes heavy references to chinese culture, from mythology to dialect to identity. I managed to create an interesting juxtapozed mash of contemporary urban styles with traditional chinese visuals and influences.
Who thought you would find such cool street art in Singapore?
PLEASE SHARE WITH US YOUR WORKING PROCESS
I do a lot of travelings around the world, gaining influences and challenges to push myself. Understand a culture, digest it, and output the final artwork.

HOW DOES YOUR ENVIRONMENT INFLUENCE YOUR ART?
It’s pretty tough in Singapore, as everything is too globalized. I rather slow down my pace and look into details. The only advantage i have is that Singapore offers access to most cultures… Therefore i get my references and can do my researches easily.
Slick and nice illustration
WHO ARE YOUR INFLUENCES?
From UK band Gorillaz creator Jamie Hewlett, to Asian star Bruce Lee, a good pal MC Yan from LMF hkg, to my cremates of RSCLS.
