Tan Haur's book journal, Moleskine Exhibition

I love creating illustrations for the children's market and for products, brands and publications. Often inspired by children and animals, I like silly and whimsical subject matter and anthropomorphic critters. 

I develop most of my illustrations the old-fashioned way, using pencil, pen and color ink, sometimes I color them digitally using Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator.

My illustration work is sort of a mixture of elements since Design College. On one hand it is a dialogue between me and the subject matters and on the other it is the traditional practice of just working with the materials. I like to get lost in the work and try to find out what the paper or digital canvas wants me to do with it.
