Sunday Special: Young Lee Kuan Yew

In two months, sirfong.blogspot.com has received a very encouraging 4000 hits. Thank u all for visiting this little comic website (or clicking the refresh button over and over, haha). I'm also excited to see some overseas viewers -- welcome to the blog! I hope you can introduce your friends to visit, as I also noted a drop in daily viewership this week (overseas during September school holidays perhaps?).

There will be more teacher-related postings for this week. And more excitingly, I will be sharing a very pivotal moment in my creative life. Do read on!




After my Teacher's Day Week, This entire week's postings will begin and end with Raffles Institution's most famous alumni: Lee Kuan Yew.

As I'd informed u all earlier, the Singapore Discovery Centre is holding a special exhibition So Singapore Toons. Never before has Singaporean comics been used in such a scale before. There are interactive games, photo opportunities and 3-D versions of local comic works!

During the official opening on 1st September 2007, the artists are invited to draw a little something on the spot. George Nonis, the author of Hello Chok Tong Goodbye Kuan Yew, drew the Minister Mentor. Since Mr Lee is an alumni of RI, I decided to draw the following:


This became a revelation of sorts. As I post more pictures of the exhibition this week, I will reveal how the above picture has created a significant tremor in my creative universe (things happen when u r in the presence of greatness, albeit a comic version of one). I hope you will keep reading, so I can share a pivotal moment in my future comics.

More Creativity

Latest news (thanks 2 Nigel C): the latest issue of I-S magazine, purveyer of all things hot in town, contains a feature on the local indie comic scene. Look for Sir Fong in there looking goofy!

The Singapore Discovery Centre has put up the Artist Infos on participating artists, and you can see my brand new avatar on site. I'm so honored! George Nonis, the creator of Hello Chok Tong Goodbye Kuan Yew, is one of the artists whose works I get to exhibit along side!
