Very thankful to all those who attended the artist reception yesterday. I know how busy life in Singapore is, so your presence at the opening night of my first solo exhibit here means a lot to me. “Overture for Spring” runs until the third of February at @goshen_art_gallery. 🇸🇬 (at Goshen Art Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtBOdh6BdLV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3ohqdk4qrsfz

No such thing as “the holidays” for me this year. So from my studio, I’m wishing you a Happy New Year! 🥂 (My face may not show it but I am in a festive mood, thus, the gatto mask.) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsAe_GlhW-y/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1oro82w3768fe

“Darkness has its own beauty that you can only see with your inner light.” A detail of “The Hermit”, one of my pieces for my upcoming solo at Galerie Joaquin opening on the 5th. Artist reception is on the 13th. https://www.instagram.com/p/BpuMCxvhOfM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1t3ed6506686r

Truth is, I enjoy painting leaves more than flowers. https://www.instagram.com/p/BoQvGXtBi_y/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1k17y755wlrcw

I just had to paint my Queen of Cups with a Ram Thai ear cuff. 🐠 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn5ooouAzh6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1lg8yw6ypm1c2

Working with a colour palette that’s new to me.

I felt the need to watch samurai films while working on this. Ended up with Takashi Miike’s live adaptation of “Blade of the Immortal” and loved it to bits.

Mark your calendars! The book launch of @gantalapress’ #LigawTingin, an anthology by gay komixeras with the cover painted by yours truly, is happening on June 23 (Saturday) at Buku-Buku Kafe in SM Southmall. Join us and celebrate #PrideMonth2018! 🌈

Today’s quick painting break was finishing this tattoo design for a Gemini born on the Year of the Dragon. I couldn’t help intertwining her twin dragons into a shape of an infinity sign, because +10 to Luck and +3 to Vitality. 😜
