Tucked away in a corner of an ad agency in 2005 was a room with an employee named Ng Choo Seong in it. He was a rather quiet & low profiled person on the outside (the boss sat next door :) but inside, he was a charming, humble & very creative person.
One of the first 'creative' things i saw was the scribbles & doodlings on his wall. It was like 'Whoa! Hor hor! Someone's gonna get into trouble for this!' :) haha. The last time i saw 'graffiti' like that was back in school. It was like a trip back in time :D Refreshing! I guess when we grow up, we tend to leave the child behind us. Bad idea.
The illustrations were simple, honest but very insightful. Some based on life; some stories on fellow employees; and some were just plain weird! I particularly like the sketch with the D&AD pencil...brilliant! (not shown above but i hope to find it).
Till today i still havn't found out what went thru his mind when he started penciling the wall. Maybe he got a little lonely in the room...hmmm...hehe :)
WHY did you do it?
"Firstly, for fun! And secondly, to express my (& friends') feelings cos there were a lot of pent up frustrations in the office but no one says it out. So hopefully the wall will encourage people to say what they feel. But still nobody did...until it was painted over." :S
The above photos were taken when the wall was still 'incomplete' and the only ones i could gather. I think no one managed to archive the full wall before it was torn down :'( I hope he will do new ones and publish a book one day ;)
