hello, hello! you are looking at…tadaa! the new theme of my website. its now much much easier to look through my artwork, read my blog, and shop your favourite prints! all in one place.
in case you’re…
is the angry hedonist: former designer who gave it all up to become a poor and starving but happy artist instead. She illustrates awkward women in uneasy dilemmas with that loving touch of macabre. She enjoys telling the world her life’s little stories in her illustrations...

hi friends and strangers! my next show will be a small cosy affair celebrating famed author CHARLES BUKOWSKI, a “laureate of American lowlife” (quoted by Time magazine, 1986).
super honored to be part of this alongside local street artist SpeakCryptic!
i’ll be showing a couple of new drawings and some old works custom made for Bukowski in the lo-fi space…for those unfamiliar with Bukowski, here’s an archive of his works. amazing stuff, i think if you like my art, you would love him!
it’s on TODAY, 28th of September, 8.30pm at 15 Minutes Cafe over at LaSalle College of the Arts. (facebook event page)
i’ll be there for a little while, so if you got a bit of time, come on down to revel in the Bukowski and say hi!

Singapore Contemporary Young Artists (SCYA) and HOUSE collaborate to debut a young local illustrator’s first solo exhibition. Based on the theme of ‘Food Obsession’, the visual study on food behaviour features a series of limited digitally printed canvas artworks displayed and available for sale at HOUSE, 8D Dempsey Road from 11th of September to 10th October 2009.Her first exhibition illustrates the icons, symbols and representations of food as they interact with and manifest in the human body. Sub-topics such as vegetarianism, genetic modification, food and morality emerge in her artworks, resulting in images that are a tad whimsical, provocative and not to everyone’s tastebuds. But definitely, food for thought.
Chew on it. It’s another inspirational art exhibition held in the creative space of HOUSE.
Prices range from $150 to $550.
and i must also never forget to give my thanks to all these wonderful people for spreading the love about the show, coming up in 2 days!
- the lovely jacklyn from s.c.y.a.
- the good folks at farm.sg
- michele from culturepush
- kelvin’s post at fill-your-walls
- thangdynasty’s delicious writeup (and tweet!)

apparently the guestlist is full already! so do come early, first 100 rsvp’d guests will receive a Whisky Sour with compliments from House!
