MCC05

Malaysia Comic Carnival (MCC) is finally come and go. Among the highlights of this annual event (organised by Art Square Group) are the appearance of Hong Kong's top illustrator (also Mike's hero) Elphonso Lam and China's Yao Fei La. To the Gilamons, MCC is even more meaningful because of the launch of Sau Lim's Monggo collection and Mike's all new Gengkey 100 art book. Like the previous MCC, it serves as a platform for artists to chat and catch up with each other. Among the artists that turn up this round including Puppeteer, Tan Eng Huat, Adijin, Totoro, Sunder, Kromosom and Chee.

The return of Major Zombie & Junior

Another 2 new T-shirts are released this month. One by Lefty and the other by Michael. Lefty's design, entitled "Zombie Jump!"features his creation Major Zombie while Mike's "Zombie Junior", features Major Zombie Jr, a completely made-over(or, "cutie-popularized") version of the original. Both T's, like the previous one(Sau Lim's "Worm Monster"), are manually(and "lovingly") printed by The Gilamons! So no two Ts would look the same! Again, they are very limited because we only have weekends to do the silk screenings. If you are interested, drop us an e-mail.

100

Mike has been busy redraw/redesign 100 of his favourite characters he has created over the years for Gengkey. This collection of characters, entitled Gengkey 100, will be published as a special artbook during MCC as well. See an updated version of Lowkey, Paul, Amin, Lamb and more specially drawn for this artbook. Click here for an advance preview. Mike will also be designing a T-shirt to be coincide with Gengkey 100's launch. Great stuffs!
