I just wonder… did you publish a book which is related to Malaysian illustrator? Have you tracked all the information you listed ‘no’ at your primary research at last?
no, i didn’t publish any book, it’s very hard to compile all the lost information.
A lot of first hand interview need to be done in order to complete the research.
I have seen your website, feel free to discuss and interact about art issue.
Presently, are you a Malaysian arts student who study in the University? Will you continue to do research on Malaysian illustrator? or related to arts research?
yes, I’m taking my distance learning M.A. in illustration currently, also teaching at The One Academy.
I am observing the change of trend in Malaysia illustration, but my focus is on conceptual portrait.
