Jason Kuek
Artist

Malaysia

Ever since I was small, I would be drawing and coloring things that I liked. As a kid, I loved cartoons, Transformers and superheroes. I had this diary which I drew many pages of Transformers by pausing the videotape player, and by looking at the actual toy boxes at the toystore(no, we were poor, so I could only draw and not buy, but for one of my later birthdays, I did get a Jazz Autobot and Triplicon Decepticon ^^). I didn't go to art school straight away. Over the years, I went to college to first study "Business Computing". After about 2 years, I got my Advanced Diploma in I.T. from Help University College. Next, I went to study marketing and management and graduated with a Bachelor of Commerce from Curtin University of Australia. I worked in multinational companies in the FMCG(Fast Moving Consumer Goods) industry for about 6 years as a Senior Marketing Executive. My work at the office had very little to do with art. All those time, I kept practicing my illustration and painting skills, and did some freelance illustration jobs during my free time. Hey, it's my passion. It was my hobby. It's my talent, and doggonenabbit, I'm gonna make the most out of it, polish it until it shines so much it blinds my eyes! ^^
