JUICE Magazine will be celebrating its 10th Anniversary this November 27th at Zouk with the theme “Spectacular” and MMRB is one of the 10th artists including Asylum & Phunkstudio, invited to contribute a creative for one of their canvases, an A1-sized giant JUICE Cover, to be mounted and displayed at Zouk on the night of the event itself, as well as featured (in smaller dimension) in the January 2009 issue of JUICE. For more info, click here.
The artwork is based on a series of subcultural events that JUICE has gone through with the youths of Singapore and is a construction of elements drawn from different movements ranging from New Wave, Britpop to New Rave etc.
The central focus of the piece is the phrase ‘Fen Qing’ - Chinese for ‘Teenage Angst’, a term which describes the intense frustration and other related emotions of teenagers… which I sincerely believe is a primary influence on different genres of subcultures and the main driving force of JUICE during these ten years.

Love Noise is a campaign organized by Converse to give Chinese rock a bigger platform and maybe an attempt to distract attention from the Olympics by taking two Beijing bands, PK-14 and Queen Sea Big Shark on a tour bus through six cities, beginning and ending in Beijing.
I created an illustration which was wrapped around the tour bus and additionally used as a focal piece on all of their campaign’s promo materials. Along the way, the bus will pick up local bands who will add on their own drawings or graffiti to my illustration alongside some of the local residents.
Interesting? Yes :)

An on-going W+K inhouse project curated by Weiwei. Artists of the agency gets to pick a staff (sorta like a lottery) and they’ll illustrate or present it in any form on a canvas. I picked Lofai, a senior copywriter and Weiwei, an art director. Mister Lofai was presented in my usual style while with Weiwei, I chose a style which I haven’t done for a long time… but anyways there’s still a long list of people I have picked but haven’t got the time to work on it. :P

A submission for an in-house competition curated by Weiden + Kennedy Shanghai. It managed to win both the tote bag and mug categories, and was sold throughout the W+K global network. So… what has the artwork got to do with the ecosystem? It’s actually a representation of a spectrum of possibilities of our future ranging from the bad to good depending on our attitudes to the environment. ;)
The production of the final product honestly wasn’t that fab. It really could have been much much better…
