Background
Illustration has been my foremost passion since childhood. I have always had the urge to create using any messy medium within my grasp. Presently, I rely on self-taught techniques to create. However, I constantly strive to study and practice new methods due to the masses of inspiring artwork I am exposed to. In the future, I plan to refine my skills by pursuing formal teaching.
Process
Storyboarding and preliminary sketches are done using traditional mediums (pencil/pen/pastel/charcoal on paper). All painting and rendering is done via Wacom Intuos tablet. Rest assured, digital painting involves as much creative skill and input as any traditional method. Digital painting also allows for versatile publishing options (canvas, photo paper, fabric, etc.) without compromising artwork quality.
Possibilities
I am open to one-off commissions (personal / professional) or collaboration with other artists.
I am also interested in creating unique websites which tastefully integrate original illustrations into their design (see site design).
My large scale visions involve storybook illustration or collaboration with others to create a compilation of inspiring fine art.

Background
I have been web designing circa 2002.
My style leans slightly towards creating a visually appealing website, rather than focusing on hard coding. I enjoy integrating original illustrations into a website to produce something truly unique (see asterisks below).
I usually employ the following:
XHTML/HTML
Javascript
Flash*
Photoshop**
Dreamweaver
*I can also create illustrated animations for a website.
**I can create original photomanipulations / illustrations for website integration.
Why I do not direct-link to these sites
1) Although I was commisioned to design these websites, I do not maintain them*. Therefore, these clients may have altered the design according to their current requirements.
2) I cannot ensure the reliability of these links (i.e. whether they are broken), since I do not manage these domains.
*I am available to maintain a website I have designed on a weekly, monthly or yearly basis.
