I have been fascinated by sequential art for as long as I remember. Oddly, I have never been an avid comic reader; it's the format of sequential art and its untapped potential that captivate me. Since I was 5 years-old, I would draw sequential sketches on notebooks. That was even before I learned any language or knew what ‘comics’ were. By 12 years-old, I had made over a hundred of these rudimenta
ry comic books. Eleven years later in 2003, I self-published my first title, Anima: Age of the Robots. Self-publishing was much harder back then; there was no print-on-demand technology and few distributors were willing to talk to individuals. Nevertheless, I managed to get Anima carried in major Singapore bookstores. Its webcomic gained international readership over the next five years. I created and published several other titles in the following 20 years. Each new project was quite experimental and different from the last. There was just one common goal: to express powerful messages that anyone from any era can understand... using comics. Active titles:
