ABOUT DAVID LIEW
-
When I’m not writing and illustrating children’s books, I create models and miniatures. These range from props and miniature sets for television shows to whimsical objets d’art.
I occasionally teach at the local polytechinics, in subjects ranging from drawing fundamentals and art history to anthropological studies and sequential art.
ARTIST STATEMENT
My journey in art has taken me to many fields… drawing for magazines, developing educational materials, model and prop-making for animated children’s TV series… But my first love is still illustrating. To me, illustrating a story doesn’t replace the words, it offers another dimension to the beauty of the writing.
In my writing, I don’t give priority to either the words or the images. My art informs my writing just as my writing guides my art.
