Youth Olympic Mascot Proposal

API
In the Lion City, the majestic feline has donned many hats: part of our legal tender notes, a tourist icon, and the founding identity of our genesis as an island.

Now for the Youth Olympics, the graceful cat has leapt to the fore as a distinctive mascot for the Games. He lives and breathes the Games, which explains why his mane and tail resemble the Olympics torch.

Named Api (pronounced as Ah-pi)(Malay for flame), the ebullient mascot radiates charm, congeniality, passion, and zest for life. It likes to defy physical boundaries.

*Note: This was done at the start of 2009 before the current mascot was reveled. I wonder if its just by chance that the current mascot also have flames for its hair or not... ...)

On the Straits Times Bestseller List!

A great start for both Amos-es for a hopefully great year.
Amos is now.. apparently "Hot books" in borders and therefore, Amos is Hot Stuff!

I would love to specially thank the many who have bought, borrowed, begged and bagged a copy of The Diary of Amos Lee.

Always keep the child in you, with you. Happy New Year everyone :)

Girls, Guts and Glory!

The Diary of Amos Lee: Girls, Guts and Glory!
Hot of the press, 2nd of the series, following the successful "I sit, I write, I flush!” (Top 10 of Straits Times, Bestseller's List).

Written by Adeline Foo, “Girls, Guts and Glory!”, is packed with more full scene illustrations as compared to the first book, including "photographs" taken by Amos with his Polaroid camera (Sneeky, sneeky). This Project took me 3mths to complete including layout and cover. Although I would have liked more time to improve on a few things, I reckon it’s pretty decent work and a step up from the previous book I illustrated. To the readers out there – ENJOY!
