Had a great time during the opening of FairitizeMyArt show, organized for tcc - The Coffee Connoisseur in collaboration with art-management.com, at Boat Quay,51 Circular Road. The exhibition will last till 30 June 2011. So drop by one of these days and check out myself and 9 other outstanding illustrators and artists as they self interpret the fairy tales that have been told to you during your childhood years, and see the true meaning reveals itself. Some stories are related in today's society context.

CLOGTWO WOLVES SERIES

THE RED WOLF

(70cm X 100 -

Pen, Paper, digital colouring. Limited to one only print on water-colour textured archival paper)

Some of us may appear greater underneath this hood. From where we stand right now is only the surface or the tip of the iceberg.

The story behind the achievement holds greater adventure and suffering. Some of us shed blood and tears to where they are standing now;

they are the one who understand the true meaning of success.


THE LIAR'S KULT

(70cm X 100 -

Pen, Paper, digital colouring. Limited to one only print on water-colour textured archival paper)
Adapt from the boy who cried wolf, is a story about a boy who gave false warning to the villagers about his herd of sheep being eaten up by hungry pack of wolves. Based on the moral of the story, one shouldn’t lie for one shall never receive trust once after. This artwork reflects how unappreciative humans are; we only cherish and appreciate people once we realized they are gone.


THE GANGBANGERS

(70cm X 100 -

Pen, Paper, digital colouring. Limited to one only print on water-colour textured archival paper)
We only succumb to only one side of the story, and left the other unheard. No matter what the argument is about, we must always keep an open mind and view things in perspective, to keep everything in balance. In this artwork, pack wolves surround poor little red riding hood, should you side her because she’s a damsel in distress or should you choose sides with the wolves because of their animal instinct? Well, it’s never about choosing sides or oppose to anything that you think is wrong. Just like in this social life that we live in, we are bound to have a lot of difficult decisions and wrong doings, the only thing we could do is be fair and listen to their side of their stories.


LEG ANATOMY
"What are you doing out here, little girl?" the wolf asked in a voice as friendly as he could muster.
Phrases used in the story, Little Red Riding Hood, are taken out and elements are carefully chosen to visually interpret the meaning.

SKULL ANATOMY

"But Grandmother! What big teeth you have," said Little Red Riding Hood her voice quivering slightly.

"The better to eat you with, my dear," roared the wolf and he leapt out of the bed and began to chase the little girl.
