I'm now a freelance artist, not seriously yet but making the effort to go all the way forward. I have always enjoyed drawing and illustrating and lately I've made some commitment to make myself a part-time artist. I love nature, wildlife and the oceans and I like to base my abstract work on such subjects. I particularly like the French painter Claude Monet and the British painter William Turner and and the latter has a lot to offer to my favourite subjects which are ships and boats. My favourite nature scenes include coral reefs, beaches and the seaside. I intend to draw more ships in the future and I have plans to include those large , behemoth World War 2 battleships to my art drawing collection. As for some of my other atworks, I love to draw and color underwater scenic sceneries where corals and marine fishes live together without the interference from humans and today's all too serious pollution. I love anything colorful and will always base my work on that but I also have a vision problem where I'm color-blind.

I live in Malaysia where primary and secondry school eduction is absolutely free. I studied in missionary schools where studying and getting good results were the main priorities. However two of my favourite subjects in school were art and music. I did not study much after completing my 11 years but did manage to obtain a college certificte majoring in Computer Science. Right now, I still love art and would spend valuable time and effort to hone and improve my skills and also to see if I can obtain some income from it. I never studied art, never had art lessons before but I have once taught art in a small tuition class and really enjoyed the experience of teaching and guiding those young tots. However if it's possible, I still would like being an artist who can offer beautiful artworks or prints to people who'll appreciate them.

None yet, but while I was in school, all my school exhibitions will always have my artworks on display. Have self-published a cartoon book before, but that was a total disaster. Sales was a joke and this endevour never took off, it just faded away and died off. Just to let you know and to satisfy your curiosity the title of my cartoon book is The Lighter Side Of Life.
