The Trio's Journey to the Best

Back in 2015, I had the privilege of being a speaker at the Singapore comics festival Speech Bubble organised by Sonny Liew and Tusitala. At about the same time I did a series of illustrations featuring myself and 2 artist friends seeking out some of the best known comic artists in Singapore at that time. I'm pleased that since then, several bright new names have made their entrance into this small but talented community. I haven't drawn them yet, but here was the original set with the original captions:
