Hello! My name is Serah Boey and I live in the ever hot and humid Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I studied Illustration at The One Academy and graduated in May 2009, and I've always loved drawing and painting since the day I picked up a pencil and learnt how to use it. Video games and comics play a huge role in my life along with a lot of other forms of art. Some of the driving influences in my art is definitely my love for the East Asian culture, fusions of old and modern cultures, nature, fantasy, mythology... and a lot of things that aren't of this world.
In short I delight in illustrating drawings that's influenced by what I really love in life and just love what I do, so I hope it shows! :)
