Not your usual bio from Cheeming Boey

Renaissance man: Artist/animator — and now also a proud author — Cheeming Boey is ‘constantly moving around’ in terms of his career and is currently a ‘bicycle designer/engineer for a new line of fixies, but that’s still in the works’. — Photos from Cheeming Boey

‘Hope dies last and I am full of it’ says this artist/author who persevered through four hard years to realise a lifelong dream of writing an unusual, entertaining book about his childhood.

IF there is one thing that he does every day, come rain or shine, it is updating his blog, iamboey.com. We are not talking about random photos of food, self-portraits or pet iguanas. No, Cheeming Boey offers a story from his day, lovingly rendered by hand, and presented in quirky comicbook style with stick figures. He has diligently stuck with it for six years and counting.
