My Bio
I was trained as a marine biologist who specialised in hard coral taxonomy. I became a science teacher for three years, before getting kicked out and landing hard on my shebs. Things started going downhill from there. I started up and closed down a couple of businesses, my marriage was effectively terminated and hopped from job to job.

I am now Artistic Director and Chief Monster Maker of Sanctumania Studios who designs and builds costumes and props, mainly armor. I am in the Malaysia Book of Records for being the first Malaysian to become a member of the Mandalorian Mercs Costuming Club, an international Star Wars fan-based costume club.

I've completed my third solo costumes exhibition, Resurrection III, at the Museum & Galeri Tuanku Fauziah, USM Penang in 2009, and was also involved in the Malaysian Contemporary Art Tourism campaigns in Penang in 2010 and 2011. I was nominated in the Signature Art Prize in Singapore in 2011.

Dearest Father At times We may have had our differences We may have not agreed with each other But I want you to know You're the best father anyone could ever have You were always there for me Even when I did not know it You looked out for me Even when I thought you didn't You brought me up to be who I am And I am so very grateful for that You taught me to be strong You taught me to be good You taught me to be brave You also taught me to be independent And you loved me more than anything on this earth I can never repay you in a thousand lifetimes And I hope I did well by you Mom tells me you're proud of me And what I have

I've been costuming for nearly 20 years now. It may seem like a long time, but I feel that I'm only at the beginning of my "tour of duty". I've always been looking for meaning behind what I have been doing. Costuming is a really neat hobby where you can meet all sorts of people and exchange ideas or ogle over their excellent costumes. Over the years, more and more youngsters have been involved in a form of costuming known as cosplay. Cosplay comes from the words costume and roleplay. It supposedly originated in Japan a couple of decades ago when fans of a particular anime or Japanese animation dressed up as their favourite characters and went

Predators

0 min read
Some people have heard of this, and I knew about it some time ago. There will be a new Predator movie coming out this July. This film is the brainchild of film maker Robert Rodriguez (Desparado, From Dusk Till Dawn trilogy). It is being directed by Nimrod Antal (Vacancy, Armored)and stars (among others) Adrien Brody, Alice Braga and Laurence Fishbourne. I suppose this explains my sudden shift to Predator designs instead of my usual Mandalorians! Anyway, the suit that I am designing is yet another custom design inspired by the baddest alien hunter in the galaxy. I'm using the info that I get from fellow members of The Hunters' Lair, the onlin

Your Mandalorian Crusader artwork is pretty impressive, you really don't see a lot of artwork about those guys. Keep up the great work :)
Hi,
I'm interested in your Saya's sword/katana since it uses cardboard. Could you briefly describe how you made it? I think a tutorial would be pretty awesome as well ^^
I'm intrigued because I like making cosplay props out of cheap and easy to manipulate materials. I'm in the process of finishing a cardboard katana myself.
You can check out my blog if you want to know more.. :)
I did. Thank you :)
