Give this dad an award please!

Another anamorphic art done by me, big thanks to SKOW and 7-Eleven for making this happen!

7-Eleven’s first ever Big Gulp Mixology campaign. Featuring a floor art installation with 3D sculptures of 7-Eleven’s iconic Big Gulp cups pouring sodas into a giant floor art whirlpool, the Mixology campaign is aimed at encouraging consumers to try mixing up the different flavors of soda from the Big Gulp selection.

The installations were placed outside the 7-Eleven outlets at Big Splash and Orchard Cineleisure Singapore.

Making of BAPE x Transfomers 3D Street Art

Recently I was commissioned to do a 3D art street mural for BAPE x Transformers collaboration so I thought I shall share some of my thought process and WIPs. The main concern for doing anamorphic perspective is basically the calculation. Having said that, I went down to the spot (Mandarin Gallery) and measured the size of the actual installation and how would the actual would look like.

Marking the spots and four corners.

Since it's meant to be interactive, the proportion of a human figure has to be in sync with the illustrations. You can actually see some markings to indicate spots for posing shots. You can see from the next pic, my two lovely assistants, standing on those spots.

Marking the "posing" positions. Thanks, my lovely assistants for the day.

Ok moving on. I knew I had to create an illustration with a depth of feel. Did some research online and decided to go for the cityscape / looking down sort of thing. The following image is the final proposal, an important step: to assure the clients it's gonna work. : )

Selling the idea.

Ok once the idea was approved. Time to get cracking. I came out with the lines and work closely with Studio Hive for the colors. The images are pretty self explanatory.

Black n White Lines

Flat Colors

More shading, the robots are pretty much there.

FA. Adding the FX and details.

Then, its off to the printers! Here's the setup and final installation pics, will post more soon.

Pros @ work.

Must do swee swee.

And its a wrap!

Like to thank the Kwang Sia team for the support and chance to work with BAPE and Hasbro. Bucket list checked! Hope y'all digg!

Screens shots of the progress

宁死不屈

This is my submission for the Art of Rebellion, based on the Chinese idiom: 宁死不屈, death over submission. Its running edition of 10, giclee print on watercolor paper.

The show will be on 14APRIL 2012 @ Geylang Lor24A, remember its 24A not 24. 24 brings you to the red light district if thats ur thing.

24 artists and 3 poets execute a contemporary exploration of Chinese culture; a play on the power of idiomatic suggestion.

Robbin' Son

Robbin' Son (2011) Editions of 100. Giclée print on matte archival paper
In the film, the protagonist named (Benjamin) has an affair with an older married woman, Mrs Robinson. The name Mrs Robinson was insignificant in pop culture as in symbolizes having an affair with an older lady before the urban term we have now such as “Cougar” or “MILF”. This art piece reflects that by breaking down the name to “robbing a son” as the arts of sedction of an older lady is second to none.
