My creative discipline is I don’t know who it’s by, but it reads, “there’s a creative spark in

everyone, just waiting to be set alright”. The quote being stucks me to see everyday when I sit

at my table to draw, serves as a daily reminder while I feel in creation for mainly on illustrations

or short animation shots, the muse for a myriad of my illustrations is people I see in the street or

even the ones I envision in my head, musicians, public figures and cartoon/anime characters. I

also get inspiration from various great artists on Instagram, paying attention to the different

ways they piece their art together and then get into gear to create a sense of my own

authenticity with inspiration, and often with good music in the back.

The works I’m focusing on - lead concept art for mobile games on character design, with an

indie studio, Hyper For J Games as we are about to create history for mobile games. Speaking

of making history, I'm creating a feature film under an indie animation studio, Lycean Studios

that me and my good friends create which is currently NDA at the moment. I'm freelancing

around in games, animation and children book as a creatives

Why pushing culture forward through your practice matters to you - for the matter, I

strongly believe in embracing the culture as the way of what create authentically us like we are

the culture,with arts in animation, in the current struggle of AI on the world, but I definitely still

have faith that humans prefer traditional and human interaction than that of technology because

we created the culture as artform that was so ahead of its time in what we see. Art is one of the

most important elements of life because “art imitates life” , as we push the artform of culture

forward that no-one ever seen, and that who we are and we are unique in every creation we do.
