See Kum / About Author
Ho See Kum is an art educator with 20 years of teaching experience. Born and educated in Singapore, he has taught and mentored students in the field of fine arts and cartooning in both government schools and private institutions. He is the founder of ComixGuru and LearnXArt, an online training portal for art and cartooning lessons. His cartoons, Emily and Rocket, was featured in The Winged Tiger in Singapore, published in 2010.
“Looking back, the reasons I went into teaching is because I do not know how to be a cartoonist. I have no friends from this field and knew no one that could guide me along the path. That was more than 20 years ago. But now 2022, I still could not see how a young artist can pursue his dream if he says he wants to be a comic artist or cartoonist. I find this unacceptable! I decided to pull together a team and start the Sg Cartoon Resource Hub to find an answer to this. If the industry does not have a clear vision of the cartooning future, let us begin by giving one.”
