From this week onwards, "I-Weekly" has adopted a newer layout and format, and my illustrations had to follow suit. So I adapted and switched drawing style and the resulting page is now appearing in this week's issue...
Additionally since last week, some of the older drawings and writings were re-compiled and re-published in "UW" magazine...
It's always great to see the fruits of my labour appear in print, especially in these popular local Chinese magazines!
These are the drawings I did for this week's issue...

Pardon the quality of these pics, as I took these with my camera instead of using a scanner...

It was conducted at one of Mediacorp's classrooms for over a hundred and thirty Love 97.2 FM's radio listeners, and I was there with Bryan's mum and several friends to help out...
The workshop went pretty well, and judging from the overwhelming response of the listeners, it was a successful one...
Last night's event was organised by another of the radio station's presenter and programme director, Ian Wen Guoxian, and co-hosted by Wendy Zeng Xiaoying and Renee Ye Yongmei...
It also featured a segment on Japanese Bamboo Charcoal, by Mt Meru's Leon Wong...
I've taken tons of photos, but for this entry, I shall just post our group photos shot at the end of the whole workshop...
Wendy, Renee, Bryan and Leon

Besides appearing regularly on air (Love 97.2FM) or on TV, he mostly gave workshops to corporate agencies or private organisations, or at the Civil Service Club...
Throughout this decade, I'd been helping Bryan with his workshops as his unofficial photographer/assistant/art director, and provided illustrations and labels for his Omhealth articles or products...
Anyway, we were both very thrilled that he was interviewed and featured in this week's issue of the local Chinese magazine, I-Weekly...
And here it is:
Notice that little illustration on the right? That's me! :)

Well, I had not been resting on laurels, but was kept busy working on other projects since I last posted that series in early June...
For the past few months, on top of other design work, I'd been submitting illustration drawings in accompaniment to my friend Bryan's weekly health and beauty column on I-Weekly magazine...
This is an ongoing project, and certainly a good start in my budding freelance illustrating career (if you could call it that). If anything, it is very good exercise for me too...
Here are some images I'd done that were already published on the magazine, in no particular order...
Which do you like the most, or the least?
The next issue of I-Weekly will be out today (Monday) around lunch time, and will feature the above "Yang White" points...
When I have more time, I'll re-post these images with links to their respective health and beauty articles...
Meantime, for other information on these articles, do try to attend one of Bryan's fun workshops, or feel free to drop by his rather informal but very informative blog:
And if anyone feels my style might suit him or her, I would be most happy to accept healthy commissions for my original works. Do drop me a note and we'll arrange something!

I'm now at Sentosa's Amara Sanctuary Resort where Bryan's conducting his wellness workshop for a corporate team-building event...
It's a pity we didn't get to enjoy the rest of Sentosa, as the sun is already setting even as the workshop ends...
Still, everything worked out well in the end, so it's all good...

Besides a morning class held for school teachers at Raffles Girls' School, Bryan had planned two other free workshops at Yamaha's Concert Salon at Thomson Plaza in the afternoon and evening specially for his listeners and supporters of his Love 97.2 FM programmes and his I-Weekly articles...
Being Omhealth's official photographer and art director, I helped out at the Yamaha workshops, together with Bryan's mum and dad, and his friend, Ian, who also played live piano music during the classes...
Many friends and familiar faces dropped by too, including Siangyun, Patrick, Suat Lay...
And here are the photos I took. By the way, this is my first time creating Photobucket Slideshows, so I hope they work!
It's no mean feat conducting three complete workshops in a day, not to mention answering everyone's questions, so we were all tired out and famished by the end of the third workshop...
So we ended up for a good dinner to reward ourselves at...
L-R: Ian, Bryan and Edric
Very yummy! :)
After that, we ended up at Legends KTV lounge, which had a small makeover and now smoke-free as well. I must say I am STILL not a big fan of singing in KTV lounges...
My voice isn't back yet due to my recent bout of the 'flu, so I only sang a bit...
We also had a bottle of beer each as well as delicious cake, a generous gift from one of Bryan's workshop attendees...
It was certainly a very long day, but very fruitful in the end...

This week's issue of "i-weekly" magazine featured another of my illustrations under Bryan's Omhealth Wellness article, on Page 76...
Here it is...

Oh well, it is still evening time in some other parts of the world... nevermind...
So... here it goes (courtesy of Bryan at Omhealth)...
Remedy for Insomnia
Add
1 drop of Lavendula Vera E.O.
and
1 drop of Grapefruit Pink E.O.
to a sheet of tissue paper,
inhale it deeply a few times, then
using the anointed tissue paper,
rub and press hard on the following
Spirit Gate Point
for 6 seconds, then release and repeat for 2 minutes...
Nitecaps #0049
Anyway, I am going to try this out on myself now, and if you don't see any more posts after this until, say, lunch time (Singapore time), then it worked... :)
Goodnight, World...

Woohoo! My illustrations are getting published!
All thanks to Bryan, whose popular better Omhealth services have recently been translated from radio segments on LOVE 97.2 FM into a series of articles for the current and revamped "i-weekly" magazine...
From today, the above-mentioned magazine, together with "8 Days" magazine, both takes on a new compact-sized format, which makes it more handy and also reduced excess paper in an environmentally-friendly move...
My part in Omhealth for the past decade has been to assist Bryan in his workshops. I am also his official photographer...
Additionally, I had been drawing illustrations for Bryan's recently created blog (http://bryanomhealth.blogspot.com/) so his listeners and readers could better visualise his health tips and other messages...
Anyway, here is his first article on "i-weekly", featuring my illustration and a portrait shot of Bryan that I took...

More to come, so do watch this space... :)
