I am participating in the A6 /future/ project which is a collaboration between 22 illustrators from both Singapore and the UK. Here’s how it works:

Each illustrator will be tasked to pose a question on what he/she feels about the future – express these thoughts through illustrations on half an A6 postcard, before posting them to another illustrator. He/she will then think of a possible answer to complete the template. There will be a mutual exchange of ideas between artists. They are also encouraged to be both imaginative and inspiring in this process.

Presented by creative [SIN]ergy and Supported by the Singapore International Foundation, the Central Illustration Agency and Tiger Beer.

The completed artworks will be showcased at the Idea Generation Gallery (London) during this year’s London Design Festival between 21 – 27 September 2009. The 22 postcards will also be auctioned to raise funds for a charity.

For the sake of secrecy, I shall wait and reveal my part of the postcard online during that week, and possibly, all completed postcards. I. cannot. wait.
