“Ignore the mess of my working space, come in and look at my artwork” ~ Jaz

I graduated in 1997 as an illustrator in a local college. As we all know, that was the year we face an economy recession. Which meant job was hard to come by for a fresh graduate like me. Thus, my first job was as a lorry driver and pay was pretty as low as RM 300.
