The World We Never Knew Existed (day 4)

How is it feel like to be a synaesthesia seeing your surrounding with splashes of colour? These artworks are done in the year 2001. It expresses a marriage between comics and painting, showing Emily's perception of her world that only herself knew. The artworks were done using a variety of medium such as soft pastel, charcoal powder, acrylic paint, pen, ink and paper on canvas board.

Emily herself is a synaesthesia, meaning she can see sound as colours and shapes. However what she sees are more than that and absolutely strange and weird. These comic strips (year 2004) reflect the side of her world. It begins with her checking her eyesight and colour test to seeing people turning into animals. The dialogue was omitted so that you can better imagine yourself in the shoe of a synaesthesia.

The World We Never Knew Existed (day 2)

Emily is my first cartoon character that have been created in 1997. She is one of my most drawn figure for the past 15 years and also appeared the most in my ads for my cartooning courses. Emily's trademark features are her big eyes and hair fringe which set herself apart  from the rest of the characters. Her appearance remains young and cute but have been 'matured' over these years. Perhaps this is an evolution of my drawing style, but most likely my thinking also matured when I get older. Most of my drawing was done using fountain pen with a few exception of using brush pen to fill in the dark tones in the background. These are a few of the latest drawings in my archive.

The World We Never Knew Existed (day 1)

"The World We Never Knew Existed", the idea comes from the fact that we all know is right in front of us, but did not really look closely, embrace it or believe what that existed in our mind - an imaginary world with imaginary characters that mirror the real life that we live. The question of existent, does the realistic world we are so familiar with has all the answer we want? If not, what do we really want to see, want or experience in this existed world?
