Birdz of Play is a newly launched attraction at the Jurong Bird Park. It is a bird-themed funland for families with kids of all ages. There are Wet & Dry Play Zones that are thoughtfully separated for toddlers and older kids and a dedicated Multi-purpose Pavilion where older children can enjoy the Games Room while parents do some shopping at the retail outlet.More info can be found here.
I was lucky enough to be assigned to do the illustration for the info map of this new attraction.
Just a small update. Did the Giant Flying Squirrel and Comet Moth illustration for Night Safari.
Messenger Pigeon or homing pigeon is a variety of domestic pigeon derived from the Rock Pigeon. Selectively bred to find its way home over extremely long distances. The wild rock pigeon has an innate homing ability, meaning that it will generally return to its own nest and its own mate. This made it relatively easy to breed from the birds that repeatedly found their way home over long distances. The earliest large scale communication network using pigeons as messengers was established in Syria and Persia about 5th Century BC and In modern times the feral pigeon has been used to great effect during wartime. Some amazing facts about pigeons can be found here.
Passenger Pigeon or Wild Pigeon was a bird that existed in North America, probably once the most numerous bird on earth, until the early 20th century when it went extinct due to hunting and habitat destruction. The last known Passenger Pigeon, Martha, died at the Cincinnati Zoo in September 1914 .
Below are the 2 illustrations I did for the Messenger and Passenger Pigeon.

Did my first project for the year 2012. And yes, it has to do with dragon. Was required to design a tattoo sticker base on Bearded Dragon that should appeal to kids from 3 – 12 years and of course, adults who are young at heart. I proposed 2 designs for them to choose and below is the one they selected.
…and the proposed but not selected one…
This is my first post of the year and Chinese New Year is just few hours away. This year, we are entering the year of the Dragon and it really excite me as I have not been painting/drawing any dragon for ages. Especially traditional chinese dragon. I must admit, once I started drawing dragon again, I got addicted. I enjoyed doing this CNY greeting illustration so much that I did not 1, but 3 of them. 2 personal and 1 for my company Cashmax Jewelry.
For the first time, I included my wife and myself in the painting. So I finally have my own ‘family’ painting.:)
For the second painting, I try using colorful strokes and lines to create motions and movements to the painting. This way, I hope to make it more interesting out of something simple.
The last one, which I did for my company, I wanted to create something that looks like a paper-cut and at the same time with a vintage feel:)
