In Humans of KL

(2/2) “So, she engaged me to do a family portrait and to draw some weapons in their hands.

In another case, there was a couple who got married in the 80s and the wife passed away about 15 years ago. The man wanted me to draw like they were in their 80s again, and I drew a pair of wings on his wife in a wedding dress. This, to him, is like a reunion somewhere between heaven and earth. 

Life is very simple and beautiful. There is this immediate happiness I get from drawing people. Caricature art is not merely just an art, there’s meaning behind it… 

Seeing the smile on people’s faces when they receive their caricature. It feels like I have this super power.”
