About Myself

Don Low
Singapore

Though Don was born & bred in Singapore, he has never gotten used to the hot & humid climate here. And unlike locals, he has never successfully enjoyed chilly and spicy food without working out a sweat. Therefore he longed to live in the northern part of the earth's hemisphere or the south where he could see a change of seasons and where the weather is not as harsh. Don is basically a self taught artist and an engineer by training.

In 2006 he was awarded a MDA Media Education Scheme scholarship to pursue an overseas graduate studies in animation. On graduation, his thesis film "Cafe Voyeur" was awarded Honorable Mentions among others from around the globe in the Animag 2009 Students' Film Awards. At the same time, he was also one of the 5 teams chosen for his collaborated entry to be one of the Finalists for the Disney Imagineering ImagiNations Design Competition 2008. In addition he interned and worked a year for The Walt Disney Company Imagineer/Parks & Resorts Online as a Visual Development / Concept Artist.

He works digitally with all Adobe programs, Corel Painter and Autodesk Maya specializing in 3D Modeling, Texture Painting and CG Lighting. He hopes to publish his comic books and work full time on his animated film.

“I am an animator. I feel like I'm the manager of a animation cinema factory. I am not an executive. I'm rather like a foreman, like the boss of a team of craftsmen. That is the spirit of how I work.”

Process – Putting an illustration together

The art brief was given: 3 illustrations are required for 3 mobile gaming gadgets from the 80s onwards. I have to make some research on which gadgets were the most popular then.

Gallery Show Opening Reception June 30

Everything was worth the time and energy. The turn out for the exhibition was overwhelming. Food was great (though I did not manage to get a bite) and the music has enlivened a sleepy Tiong Bahru. I am both glad and pleased that we have decided to do this – a gallery show of our [...]

Just some random sketches

There is a Japan Gourmet Town in Raffles City Basement. One of the outlet is like Mache, you pick a card at the entrance and buy stuff with it, then pay later when you exit. Food is a pricey and reasonable in taste. Not so spectacular that I will develop a craving but nice enough [...]

Eating, Shopping and Sketching @ Central

What else can you do in Singapore except to eat and shop? Nothing much but just eating and shopping – the favorite past time activities of Singaporeans. So we brought our parents to Central @ Clarke Quay for a great time of eating and shopping. It wasn’t very crowded so we had plenty of space, [...]
