Far East Far Out Far Art

During the 90's my illustrations & cartoons appeared in local Thai magazines and newspapers: Living In Thailand, Manager, Phuket Magazine, Sunday Magazine, Metro, Than Sapda, Dateline, Far Eastern Economic Review, etc. I also illustrated a few books for local publishers: 'Mr. Elephant and the Missing Yoghurt Mystery', 'On The Bus', 'Edith Clampton's Letters', 'A Kid's Guide to Bangkok', 'Thai Tourism', 'Whose Place Is This', etc. My work was shown in exhibitions (at venues like Neilson Hayes Library, A.U.A., Amari Watergate Hotel, etc.) several times during this period: Artists For AIDS (1990), B.A.G. Annual Exhibits (1990/94), High Spirits (1994), I.S.B. Professional Art Show (1994), Just Squeezin' (1994), 16 Steps (1995), DubArt (1995), Multiple Choice (1997), etc. At the end of the 90's I stopped due to the economic recession and feeling that I was repeating myself... Since the beginning of 2012 I started drawing again, but this time just for fun, a few drawings per week and as a result I have about 300+ drawings by now. I draw on paper whatever strikes my fancy, scan & work it out with Photoshop and post the results on http://www.facebook.com/ARTKoen & here.
