Anthon Kiong, the creative director for Shooting Fish Communications

What's with the hair, really?

narcissism |ˈnärsəˌsizəm| noun excessive or erotic interest in oneself and one's physical appearance.

Narcissism actually. Anything that reflects gets a glimpse of me.
Oh excuse me, ahem, Anthon Kiong at your service *bows*.

I see that you have time for a monologue.
A close friend of mine urged me to blog. Maybe I really should.

13 years ago, I became a designer… had my fair share of advertising, design, print and multi-media agencies before finally establishing my creative boutique agency. Attaining two international photography competitions awards brought new meaning to light drawing.

What do you do, seriously?

…the ROLL of the eyes when clients start to nag, the FLASH of the teeth when paycheck comes…

What can I say? The JOY of wrecking my brains conjuring concepts and artwork for clients... the TORTURE of over-using ellipsis and artheads... the WONDERS of seeing photography come to life... the ROLL of the eyes when clients start to nag, the FLASH of the teeth when paycheck comes. I contribute to the community during my spare hours by lecturing part time at local institutes. On top of that, I am currently pursuing a Master of Cross-Disciplinary Art and Design from UNSW. Let's talk about time-management. Sheesh.

Sounds really cool, so what's ordinary about you?

…the fantasy world of dragons and wizards to a grotesque murder on the streets of New York, reading educates me from all aspects — in all aspects.

Just another lad who loves the guitar, grew from a self-studied sing-along guitarist to an experimentalist. I looked upon the six stringed instrument as a channel for me to relax during a good day, or venting during a bad project day. Despite the digital age, I still take photographs in negatives, slides and medium formats. Reading brings me to places I have been, never been or can never go, whether it is the fantasy world of dragons and wizards to a grotesque murder on the streets of New York, it educates me from all aspects — in all aspects.

Anything clever to end, Mr Kiong?

Nothing is more dangerous in this world than bored cats and amateurs.
Have a great life ahead!
