Many thanks to my fans and friends for coming down to support my book launch at the Makers' Block Festival !!! Currently on-going till 7th July at Suntec City Mall level 2!

I met up with an ex-classmate during a business networking session and he coincidentally was working on organising this event so I was invited to go down for a demonstration. It was a bit creepy seeing your own photo...

I am holding a charity sale of 7 pieces of artwork at Sun Ray Cafe right now! They are all hand-painted/drawn, not digital, which means they are one of a kind!

My Creative Process in making comics from Evangeline Neo This is the extended version of my presentation for the " Singapore Makers Meetup " held at Singapore Polytechnic library on 25th April, 2014. This is for my fans and aspiring comic artists with steps on how I do my comics and other tips. Follow me at https://www.facebook.com/evacomics Some snapshots of me, my shy fans and Davy who makes really pretty ceramic leaves~

I was on Singapore local Chinese newspaper "联合早报"(Zaobao) today!!! :) The news article is a copyrighted material, so I will just talk about the article briefly. To read more, please buy a hardcopy or subscribe to Zaobao at  http://www.zaobao.com.sg  ;) xxx Translated brief: Evangeline Neo, a local Singaporean illustrator had recently gained popularity on the internet with Evacomics series that talks about the cultural differences between Singapore, Japan and US. Her comics are updated every Monday and her Facebook had gained 19,600 likes since its establishment in 2010. She was aspired to become a cartoonist since young and was inspired by Japanese anime and manga. She even spent a year preparing a short story comic to enter into a comic competition held by Kodansha, Japan. Although she was selected for the initial round, she did not win the award in the end. ( Blog post back then here ). She started drawing webcomics in Chinese on wretch.cc (a Taiwanese blog

2013 had been an eventful year for me. First I graduated from Waseda Business School in Tokyo, then I was selected for a fully sponsored trip to CoFesta Japan. On 25th Dec, I finally got to move to an empty room so I could setup my own home studio. I must thank all my loyal fans who had supported me throughout these years when I was just drawing unpopular short comic strips about my daily life till I changed them to comparisons between Japan and Singapore (and sometimes US) in April 2012. Thank you all for your awesome support by liking and sharing my comics, and especially fans who had bought my merchandise online and specially came down to visit me at Marina Barrage, Singapore. After 3.5 years of fun, study, close shave with death from earthquakes and radiation worries in Japan, it is finally time to pay back in Singapore XD My wish for 2014 is to publish my first book and to develop Evacomics brand. And of course, to gain more wonderful fans like you. Wishing everyone a f

In 5 days time, we will be celebrating our Mid Autumn Festival, a much celebrated festival by the Chinese. It is the 8th month 15th day on the lunar calendar when the moon is at its roundest form. Thousands of years had passed, but our lunar calendar never fails to nail down the date for the roundest moon. On this day, families come together, much like Chinese New Year, to eat mooncakes and admire the bright moon. It is also a custom to give mooncakes between relatives or business associates to wish them have a happy reunion with their families. Mooncakes are traditionally baked with lotus paste filling and sometimes with yolk. These are usually favored by the older generation. However for younger people like me, snowskin mooncakes are appealing too, such as the ones shown above. 再過5天就慶中秋了！以前的天文學家真是厲害，千年後的農曆還是能準確算出月亮最圓的日子。

Just returned from the Borders Sale at Expo with 50% discount off all books. The original price tag was way too expensive, no wonder they're going out of business in Singapore. In fact, you might find some paperback version cheaper in Amazon than the 50% discounted hardcover versions found there. I arrived at 11am and spent 1.5 hours browsing and selecting my books. By the time I join the queue, it was already incredibly long and I had to drag my basket of books for 2.5 hours before reaching a cashier. When I was done, it was already 3pm, too tired and famished to "cheong" (battle) the John Little Sale at Hall 3. Here are some shopping strategies to share when you go to a "clearance" sale: Just grab the things that you're interested in, if you're having a hard decision, just grab and go. By the time you're done scavenging, the queue would have been really long. So if you're going with a friend or family member, a good strategy is to have

Introducing my brand new netbook bought from the COMEX IT fair at Suntec City, Singapore. Yes, I'd been saving up for a netbook so that I won't have to carry my 2.5kg MCP to school everyday! 今天買了一台小型筆記電腦！因為不想每天帶我的2.5kg重的蘋果電腦去學校，所以存了幾個月買的。

My university from Japan is holding a short intensive course in Singapore so we had a gathering dinner on National Day at Al Dente, Esplanade. As you can see, the location was really close to the parade! 日本的大學在新加坡辦一個短期暑假課程，所以我們在濱海灣藝術中心的Al Dente聚集用餐。從照片中可以看得出，我們離慶典相當近呢！

I finally finished translating 31 pages of my diary comics drawn last year and serialized on my Taiwanese blog. I kind of liked this series a lot but because all of my old Chinese titles are from right to left, I have problems exporting them to eBook platforms. From now on, my comics will be standardized from left to right to make them more exportable worldwide. Click here to read now! 終於把以前在無名網站的日記漫畫翻譯成英文了！O_O 在嘗試把漫畫放在不同的電子書籍媒體時發現：果然因為都是西方技術，所以都是從左到右，而不是右到左。所以決定為了以後漫畫可以成功轉換成電子書籍，還是統一一律從左到右比較好。 要讀的話請點閱這裡！

MY TABLET IS NOT WITH ME! AH~~~ 我的繪圖板不在我這！啊～～～

For the first time, I'm putting up my short story manga entry that I'd sumbitted into the 4th Morning International Comic Competiton (MICC) back in December 2009. It was the first time that my comic had made it into the initial round of an international contest. It is 34 pages long so it takes a bit of time to read. If you prefer the PDF version, you can download that in the respective links. After drawing 110 pages of 4 short story comics, I must say, drawing them wasn't difficult, it was writing the stories that give me the headaches. Shichiya's Pawnshop had went through so many revisions that in the end of the day, I find that drawing short 4 panel comics was much more enjoyable. Download the manga at my Manga Downloads page!  這是我首次把在2009年參加的第4屆早安“ 世界漫畫大獎賽 ”的作品公開在網上。那是我第一次進入國際比賽的初選。總共34頁，所以需一點時間閱讀。我也有PDF版可下載。 畫了超過110頁，4篇故事以後，覺得繪圖不難，寫故事才是最頭痛的事！七夜的當鋪經過無數次的修改，最後我還是發現畫簡單的部落格漫畫比較舒服。話不多說了，請在 漫畫下載區 下載我的漫畫吧！

My Japanese scholarship association decided to include the theme of "Ganbare Higashi Nippon!" into our quarterly newsletter to motivate fellow Japanese to overcome this series of disasters. Instead of writing messages, I chose to drew up this poster in hope that it will "ganbare" (cheer up) the people in eastern Japan in a more visual way and impact. Although I didn't quite enjoy my stay in Japan, I'm still very keen to research on Japanese indie comic artists in Tokyo. I pray that Japan will recover soon from her unfortunate earthquakes, tsunami and nuclear disasters, and hope that the people of Japan will be able to stand united and strong to restore their nation to her former glory. 我的日本獎學金集團打算在電子刊物中為在東日本避難的日本人打氣。與其寫一些字，我選擇了畫一張小海報來為日本人打氣。雖然我在日本過得不怎麼樣，但是我還是非常希望回東京研究日本自費出版的漫畫家。我希望日本能早日從不幸的地震，海嘯和核能洩漏災害中回覆，並重建往日的風采。

Through some connections from the Japanese University Graduates Association of Singapore, I was linked up for a brief interview on national TV live show Good Morning Singapore. With me was another renowned Singaporean make up artist, who was in Chiba when the quake happened, and a psychologist. The main topic was about dealing with post-crisis psychological management. (Sorry, I don't have a psychological trauma XD) 通過和新加坡日本大學畢業生協會的聯繫，我和另一名著名新加坡彩妝師（那時在千葉）和心理醫生一同在新加坡電視台的“早安您好”節目中接受訪問。主題是有關於災難後的心理輔導（抱歉，東京的沒什麼心理問題XD）。
