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.

“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.”

My Sketches Collection

Due to the growing and ever increasing number of sketches made, I’m putting up a “Sketches Collection” just to keep them a little more organized.

Experiment with Abstraction – Drawing from the subconscious

The first set I am presenting here (Jan 9, 09) is a set of 4 doodling experimentation with abstraction. The purpose of this practice is to get myself more aquainted with just looking and be more sensitive to simply shapes, colors and mark making. I find the entire process very relaxing just because I wasn’t very interested with defining shapes, composition, balance and so forth. I was just having fun with splashes, painting and doodling.


The hardest part of making these was to let myself go… even letting go of familiar shapes, lines and colors in my memory, and allowing my subconscious to take over. Basquiat, how did you do it?? “P
