Final sketch at Singapore River


For the very first time, no inkwork for me.

We conducted a urban sketching class at Singapore River last Saturday for students from Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD). The exercise was to do washes first then add pencil lines.

Final Sketch at Mapletree Business City


This is the sculpture called "The Conch" at Mapletree Business City, located right at the entrance covered the entire facade across a few blocks. Very majestic and I like it very much. I was told it was designed by Torrance Goh and Hong Weiming from FARM, a multi-disciplinary design company. Find out more at https://www.farm.sg/projects/details/the_conch

Centre Point Mural

A forgotten work since 2016. An old post here

4 of us did this very big mural wall at basement 2 of Centrepoint. The artwork was laser printed on the big metal panels, a successful experiment at that time. Not etched, not vinyl sheet.
