Movie Batman in Neal Adams pose

This is something I've been working on on an on/off basis. Its based on an artwork
by Neal Adams from Batman #251 (1973): "The Joker's Five-Way Revenge". I did an interpretation of it using the recent movie version of Batman, with a different, city background.

Tiger Translate

This was done for Tiger Translate sometime last year. It's now on their site under the "Change" theme. The illustration was my take of how global warming to its extreme might see little Singapore sinking with lots of sea water around. Even though the little guy is surrounded by water, there's nothing he can consume and so is really happy when he sees bottles of Tiger Beer floating in the distance. A friend who saw my illustration thought I'd intentionally put the number "40" (read as say-deng) meaning bound to die in cantonese and thought it was really apt, which made me laugh! :)

F1 night race

An F1 illustration I did for TimeOut magazine last month. The idea was to have the streaks of light from the race cars form the outline of an F1 car amidst the city lights. The city is not based on any specific geography. I sort of did a weird amalgam of landmarks and added buildings, roads and highways in between.

Esplanade Presents: Of Music And Mayhem

SO HELLO EVERYONE!!!
Zid here, back from the DEADDDDDDD.

This is the product of me missing in action for 2 months: a suicidal 87.1 meter installation. Disclaimer: It can definitely be much better should I have been given the appropriate time to complete this. This will do for this crazy attempt.

If anyone feels like taking a walk down the Esplanade tunnel accompanied by linear narratives, feel free to do so from tomorrow until Oct 4th!
