'Tanjong Boy' - Azmi Husin's Solo Exhibition at Hin Bus.

 

Attended an Art launching at the Hin Bus Depot of Azmi Husin's primarily Cartoon works. I met and made the acquaintance of this young and multi-talented artist some years ago when he he was still at the stage of making the initial moves towards becoming what he is today. Azmi or Me as he is popularly known among his admirers is today one of the most productive and prolific artist in Penang if not Malaysia. From a very humble beginning he strived and made his way into several Guinness Books of Records, Malaysia for having done this or that. He is also a Mural artist who has his works covering walls all over the City and the State.

Present at the show were Anne and Leroy my brother Lee Khai's wife and son who had just returned from England where Leroy was studying. It was a very pleasant surprise as we have not seen each other for a while now.

The show was titled "Tanjong Life" or City Life. Her we see Azmi's main character in action, the local kid with the buck teeth and mop hairstyle.

One of his favorite medium is black coffee on watercolor paper.
