"One of the main headache I have when I organise events, collabs in OIC is that very few artists are keen to walk the talk. Many like and benefitted from the activities and events but few are willing to put in the hours and energy to make it work and make things happen.
Here is a new talk by a group of our favourite people, because they are diligent in their own practice, humble, keen to share and will chip in to help build our community even when we are all equally busy - Twisstii, Jer Bear Teo , Benjamin Chee , Maximilian Loh! I am so happy that we have people like them to work with! Come and hear them share!"
- shared Michael Ng (Co-founder at OIC OIC- Organisation of Illustrators Council)
