The website that always never ceases to amaze me, from time to time I would check out his website.
What I love about it is the style, which reminds me of chinese calligraphy / brush strokes. It imitates like a chinese painting with black ink.
It kinda always reminds me of my childhood, how I've regretted neglecting my chinese roots. And it serves as a reminder to sort of look back at the past and try to uncover more about my culture / heritage. I feel it's a real shame that the kids growing up in Singapore nowadays are not brought up the way I was. They don't know about Singaporean folktales like how the Merlion came about or the Malay stories of Sang Nila Utama and Bukit Timah Hill to name a few. With this project, I hope to bring back more of this tales and attempt to recreate the how I felt and how I would like them to feel when the story is being retold.
