28 Tales
2013
Publication (self published and distributed)
To inject more creative writing into my usual advertising practise, I started writing short stories no longer than 50 words each. Then to challenge myself even further, I cut them down to 28. I found an illustrator with a style I liked and begun this collaboration to put ideas onto paper. Through contacts, I managed to get 28 copies of the book printed and bound with my own money.
I begun to take a few copies with me wherever I went. Each copy of 28 Tales found homes in different parts of the world. From New York to Bangkok, Melbourne to London, Cannes and back again in Singapore where it was sold at the Singapore Art Book Festival 2014 and part of the proceeds went to charity.
