FLEE CIRCUS - Singapore

TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF AND WHAT YOU'VE BEEN UP TO.
Fleecircus is an illustration unit based in Singapore. After graduating, it began experimenting and developing its own illustration style. Fleecircus illustrations are combination of detail vector based drawings and back-to-basics pencil sketches.

Between 2000 to 2007, Fleecircus illustrations had been commissioned by MTV-Asia, L’Oreal, Pictoplasma(Berlin), Zouk(Singapore), Funkstörung (Germany), Anna Sui & LEVIS.

Fleecircus collaboration includes Singapore Design Festival’s 20/20, works were showcased in Singapore and London Design Festival, My Favourite Moleskine Exhibition which toured Hong Kong, Singapore and China. Fleecircus just completed her stint as creative consultant for the Singapore Peranakan Museum. In July 2007, Fleecircus was invited to create a limited edition case for L’Oreal make up to raise awareness for Action For Aids campaign.

WHAT PROJECTS ARE YOU EXCITED ABOUT NOW.
The possibility of any projects that requires illustration excites me.

I am especially psyched about the future direction of Organisation of Illustrators Council (O.I.C). O.I.C was formed 2 years ago for illustrators working in Singapore to share experiences and trade techniques.





TELL US ABOUT YOUR WORK, THE PEOPLE YOU MEET AND HOW THIS INSPIRES YOU.
I draw and draw and draw… (X infinity)

I am very fortunate to be in a close circle of like minded local creative talents who unselfishly share info and part their wisdom in this trade. The more I learn from them the more humble I become.

WHAT ARE YOUR CIRCLE OF FRIENDS GETTING INTO?
I see we are experiencing the “golden age” of illustration and I hope this will stay for a long time. I guess what me and my friends are really interested in now, are to “discover” more creative talents and hope to raise the standard of local illustrators.



WHAT ARE YOUR HOPES FOR THE NEAR FUTURE?
I hope in the very near future, I will be able to get by with my personal projects. Meaning painting more and contributing my works on different platforms (lifestyle, fashion products etc).

WHAT BRANDS DO YOU ADMIRE AND WHO WOULD YOU LIKE TO WORK WITH?
Any brands/company who dares to challenge themselves to break the mold get my support.

THINGS YOU LIKE IN PLACES YOU LOVE.
I love nature, old quarries in Pulau Ubin, National Museum Of Nature and Science at Tokyo Ueno. The Museum of Modern Art (MoMa). Bookstores like Kinokuniya. Jingumae, Shibuya-ku; also affectionately known as “Cat Street” where furniture shop like hhstyle is based.

I enjoy going to places where modern ideas couple with nostalgia. And places/objects are design to work with/for nature. Things like these make me have initiative to create.
