Drawing is in Adam’s blood

Adam is a self-taught artist, practicing his art since 7 years old with his four other brothers. Adam is a  highly successful first generation entrepreneur from Singapore. Adam founded and FACE OF MAN, a leading chain of ‘men’s only’ skincare salons. His pursuit of keeping men looking good and youthful is yet another art form for him.

Adam learnt in his entrepreneurial journey that reliability, affordability and excellent customer service are timeless values that are bound to make any venture successful. Needless to say, he brings the same approach to Caricaturist. Co-manage by his dedicated relative Dennis and a family of highly experienced caricaturists (brothers and fellow artists), their core values is to bring smiles with their artwork.

Adam and his 3 brothers were born in a family with modest means. However, they are all endowed with a wealth of artistic talent. As children, their only hobby was their pen and back pages of used sketch pads. They started drawing at the age of 6 to amuse themselves. At the age of 13, they were quite accomplished artists and began designing posters and comic strips for their schools and educational centers. Along the way, the five brothers won many accolades and awards in his school which encouraged and motivated them to draw more.

They could not keep their pencil and sketch pad away even during their national service. Adam was a military policeman as well as a pilot trainee! His seniors noticed his talent and assigned him the responsibility to draw charts, design decorative backdrops and even produce a three episodes comic series with characters fashioned on his camp mates. This had everyone in splits and kept the crew and night guards tickled and awake!

The other three brothers had their share of art experience with magazines, animation, comics and even computer animation

In spite of achieving recognition as artists, they continue to read comics and watch movies with the curiosity of a child. They enjoy all genres as they help them understand various filming techniques, compelling storytelling tactics and creative animation skills. This study inspires them to excel in his own comics and movie making projects. Adam produces videos purely out of passion to explore artistic ideas in otherwise boring weddings and corporate events for MNC’s and SME’s. A restless creative soul, Adam also studied 2D and 3D animation, visual effects, sculpting and story-boarding as well as HD video production. He received the Best Video Clip award in STOMP in 2008 and was widely acclaimed on national TV and online news portals. He is also a certified Social Media Marketing Specialist and content developer from creative static images to engaging video effects.
