Hello 2026

Hello to all my friends, followers & whoever that might read my posts, thank you for staying around and the great support in 2025.

Last week I celebrated my 45th birthday and I felt like this year should be a year of breaking and rebuilding.

My current living room and my 2 little cakes ^^

This is the current stage of my living room (lol). I ordered two new book shelves to replace the wooden ones but it's only this week that I managed to finish my work from last year.

Maybe this is a reflection of my current state of mind and life, cluttered and lack of direction. Looking back, I have been a freelance illustrator for more than 12 years.  Over the years, I'm glad to have worked with many people & organizations, who taught me how to be a better artist and person.

Turning 45 seems like a good time to think about what's next for the next 5 or 10 years. 

As mentioned earlier. This year is about breaking and rebuilding, I hope to spend more time on my personal projects and as a comic artist/illustrator myself. 

5 Things to be grateful for in 2025

-Worked on a national IP (Becky bunny)

-Spent more time with family and loved ones

-Saved a decent amount of money and returns-Launched Honey, I Cloned the Kids 2 Kickstarter

-A home/office I have been staying for the past 9 years that’s paying for itself (And also winning "Best Young Person's Non-Fiction Title at the Singapore Book Awards 2025" for The Rainforest Adventures of Biogirl MJ

5 Things that weren’t great in 2025

-Working almost 7 days a week every week

-Neglecting health and fitness

-Not working much on person projects/original IP

-Too little games played (LOL)

-Still didn’t get to start my Youtube channel

Things to look into in 2026:

-Webcomic series

-Social media: more educational/sharing posts 

-Fanart, fan comic 

-Book pitches

-Getting back to workout routine

Such a long winded post, guess 2026 is off to a good start! XD

Hope you will look forward to new upcoming contents! :D

We have disqus! :D

Just updated the blog with disqus! Now you can comments on my posts, even when you are not login! :D Previously I saw a post on Kotaku on Manga Artist Workdesks,

and I thought it will be great for artists to share and discuss about their work space too :) So here is my messy (but organized!) work space which I spend about 8-10 hours a day at.

This is my main workdesk, with my PC and wacom tablet. I have been deciding whether to get a display tablet for the looooonnngest time.. The right side are some documents/papers/recent mails, my new fighting fish, and an external hdd. Behind is my Epson L350 printer , which quite a good budget printer. Although mine have slight problems after 2-3 years, probably need to send it for servicing soon.... On the left of the desk is my clipboard for drawing/sketching and my ancient iPad 2, which I only use it for surfing net and watching videos... Below the desk are my weights, which I used for exercising when I don't go to the gym.. -__- I am using a basic ikea chair, not the most comfortable one but budget enough and doesn't get warm like those leather and fabrics ones.

Overall view. The front is my bed. As you can see I get alot of sunlight from the windows, so the room is mostly hot -___- The prints on the wall is my calendar, where I note down deadlines and events. The desk behind me is for drawing, although now is kinda in a mess :D Below are papers and stationaries...

A close-up of the times on my desk, pencils and pens, books, documents, stationaries etc...

Hope you enjoy knowing more about how I work, do share with me yours! :)
