Can you explain more about your “scribbling style”?V: I created and named it as scribble art. I never though it can be so well accepted all around the world. It's look messy from near but it's look solid from far and the most important of all, it can look real in style. I love to draw something that has some important message to me so it can remind myself cause i'm not good in writing. Drawing is one of my best way to release stress too.

Can you tell us more about the learning disability you faced during school days? What motivated you to focus on your studies?V: I just know my self dyslexic 6 years ago. Before that i never know about people can have reading problem. It's making me tired and sleepy every time i read and i hate going to school cause i feel i'm stupid and no one likes me cause of my bad result. My key is my interest. It's keep me going no matter how hard it is. It's like playing a game.

Which is your favorite art creation and why?V: My Bruce Lee (be water my friend) I was stuck one day and i don't know how to improve or go further with scribble. Suddenly i remember this quote by bruce lee. Than only i realize i'm over control in my drawing. So I pick a picture of bruce lee and try my experiment to do it more freely. It work well and i wrote the quote there to remind my self not to over control it.

Can you tell us more about your dyslexia campaigns? How do you use your creativity for these campaigns?V: Dyslexia is not well known in Malaysia. It's my first know and find my self Dyslexic when we do the first campaign. The campaign goes well but come back with a negative feedback. The parent takes it as disable and hard to accept the fact their kids is dyslexic. So we come out the second campaign by using all the successful Dyslexia people to show the good side and talent people with dyslexia. To prove it, creative director ask me to use a style of drawing no one use before. At that time I saw others scribbling their idea before starting their work. That's how i i though of using scribble.
