Thank you for attending FOMO Art Weekend! I am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of it 🙌 I'll be focusing on new projects and my soon-to-be 11-year-old fur kids in the coming years, so we won't always be able to attend art markets. Please take care, and we hope to see you all soon. Keep creating wonderful things 💪❤️🌟 #artmarket #illustrationmarket #fomoartweekend #minifanfan (at SCAPE) https://www.instagram.com/p/Clz_RWphgQM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I haven't painted with a traditional medium in quite some time. The 38th IBBY International Congress 2022 in Putrajaya is hosting a KIDLIT (Kids Literature) Illustration Exhibition with the theme "The Power of Stories." There is an exhibition platform where 18 children's picture book illustrators can showcase their work, along with various exhibitions and celebrations such as the Hans Christian Andersen Award and the IBBY Honour List. Thank you so much @_mbbyofficial_ and @ellynorsuriamz , for inviting me to participate in this exhibition alongside so many talented artists! ********** 38th IBBY International Congress 2022 Date: 5th - 8th Sept 2022 Time: 10 am - 5pm Venue: Kompleks Perbadanan Putrajaya ********** Exhibition statement: When I was a child, the first story I heard was a fairy tale. Fairy tales have always been an integral part of children's everyday life. They were so important to my childhood, and I believe it has a positive impact on every child. Good stories are powerful, and they allow our brains to light up. A little girl, a grandmother, and a wolf are just a few keywords that can instantly recall the entire story. If fairy tales don't exist in the world, an image of a little girl wearing a red riding hood will not connect you to the famous fairy tale. We grow up hearing fairy tales and reading them into our lives because of the power of good stories. Every word and image is imprinted in our minds. That is the power of stories. #ibbymalaysia #ibbyinternationalcongress2022 #roadtoibbycongress2022 #thepowerofstories #KIDLITexhibitions #womenwhodraw #malaysianillustrator #minifanfan #geefaneng https://www.instagram.com/p/CiKHdItBOsz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I'm proud to present our first roller shutter painting 👏👏👏 In the war of dogs vs cats, people often discuss whether dogs or cats are cuter, so I decided to combine the element of HP bar with the pets into the drawing. You can tell there are two different illustration styles in this painting; to make it looks harmonious, we use the same colour combination. The cat part is @yuwenong 's drawing; the dog part is my drawing. Thank you so much, Sam and Ho, for giving us this opportunity to paint on their roller shutters. The outcome is fantastic and pleasant! They have been running the Lazybone Pet Shop for 7, 8 years, and it's one of my favourite local shops. They have given me many tips and suggestions since I adopted my first dog Sogau 8 years ago. The couple used to have six dogs and seven cats. For many owners, beloved pets are more than just animals, and they're part of the family. So, I suggest using their pets as the theme of the painting. Unfortunately, we lost our cat Akira 3 days ago before we painted. It's a long story; I won't write too much detail here to make it short. The doctor detected a tumour between its heart and lungs. From the day we found the tumour until it passed away, it took only two weeks to happen. The grief process can't be forced or hurried along; in the process of painting, we come to accept the loss slowly. I appreciate their trust in asking us to paint the roller shutters. When the painting is done, somehow I feel like we're healing from the loss of Akira. ps. If you're looking for a reputable pet shop for your pets, I recommend Lazybone to anyone! Google "Lazybone Pet Shop", located in Taman Kajang Prima. They open from 10 am to 7 pm. You may visit the painting before or after the opening times. #rollershutterart #rollingshutterart #muralpainting #muralart #malaysiamural #streetart #streetartmalaysia #urbanart #illustrationwork #illustration #womenwhodraw #yuwenong #minifanfan #geefaneng (at Lazybone Pet Shop 懶骨頭寵物生活館) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbFgMaHBvVw/?utm_medium=tumblr

Here's a little sneak peek of what we've worked on for the past two weeks. I've never done a mural, so painting the roller shutters is fun and challenging. Thanks @yuwenong for joining us! This is our first collaborative roller shutter project. Yuwen has a lot of experience working on murals. We couldn't complete the painting smoothly without her help. We're looking forward to many more interesting projects to come! I will post more photos in the next post. ps. Thanks my minion for helping us! He is the best kuli in the world 😂 #rollershutterart #rollingshutterart #muralpainting #muralart #malaysiamural #streetart #streetartmalaysia #urbanart #illustrationwork #illustration #womenwhodraw #yuwenong #minifanfan #geefaneng (at Lazybone Pet Shop 懶骨頭寵物生活館) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca9lGE9BBCi/?utm_medium=tumblr
