Let me start my review to Hilarius Jason Pratana, you! You are a sort of my best pal during this Unknown Asia. When I reviewed your photos in Jakarta, it seemed sensitive and pure as if the heat, or temperature of Jakarta went something to be subtle and cooler. It was my impression at that time. But, surprisingly your works at the Unknown Asia was really funky and full of vibes. It was a really great surprising. You rock! The red color in the portrait, the graphic looks like a call girl; they are not indecent, They ARE cool. And you grabbed to people who know what fashion and photography is. You are a professional creator, I believe, and you got 2 judges awards; Shono and Takahashi of Unknown Asia Committee! And last but not least, you obtained the sponsor DAIBIRU Award! I really cannot wait to see your picture hanging as a big flag in the Daibiru. Let me say again, Congratulation Jason!!

Hi Debbie. Your illustration touch seems light but I know it is very conceptual. I like your i-pad illustration series imaging the Shanghai travel. And more that, tracing as illustrations that you were inspired from #love in Instagram was so unique and vivid to me. I was so impressed your talent as a creator, you got me, Debbie!

She handed me a green acrylic board and said "look at my pictures with this". I am the one of the spaceship crew. She brought us to the space trip she draws with her characters. She showed each captioned in Japanese and it was so nice to see her enjoying communication with audiences. Her 'Earth Spirit" series was selected by the Indonesian Watercolor Society.

I thought her jewelries were ceramics at the first glance. But when I looked them carefully, they are enamel coated metal. Even using hard metals, they are sleek and shaped as if tracing her emotion and touch. Unique and versatile as some can be a brooch, a necklace and an object if attaching to these special boards to the wall. Soft pink, smoky brown, turquoise colors suit to her skin, so chic look! Prices are rather valuable though. The Unknown Asia PR staff Junko Sasanuki has been contacting her for a project. I hope it will be a good collaboration.

What an amazing collages of an animal encyclopedia with imaginative animals that are a dream from our childhood they are! As the title "Chamber of Enigma, Cabinets of Curiosities" says, his world is like a toy box full of of curiosities and thrills. I love the way of you showed the turtle! Awards of reviewer Takanori Yoshida (BYTHREE) and judge Takahiro Kaneshima, the director of Art Fair Tokyo and Art Beijin. You are so talented Asian creator, Resatio. I felt you have something in common with Teppei Kaneuji's works.

Award winner Evelyn! The dynamic photograph (right) as if the magnificent sky filled with stars is a picture of black sands in Bali Islands. She told that the brightening object looking like a starry star is a piece of glass on sands. Everything has a life and there is Space in even small things. Her works remind me that expressing "animism" by photograph is this. And the title, "Stars below - Space", you rock Evelyn! Meanwhile, I was wondering Indonesian artists were so friendly together. So, I asked to her if they have known each other for long time. She said, Ignatius Hermawan Tanzil put together artists and they have built up networks to exchange information before coming to Unknown Asia. Wonderful relationship!

I like you since I met at the portfolio preview in Jakarta. First, good colors. Second, thickness of lines, entire layout balance / interval is good. I can see sense of humor and light & bright feeling in your works that make me cozy. And, Michelle, I like your personal characteristic, too! Your "Beyonce" is super duper! I want to have your illustrations to 'My First Art' series produced by DMOARTS, seriously. And, what made me laugh was that pin "SON OF A PEACH", I LOVE this kind of your sense of humor very much, Michelle.

She was one of the most outstanding artist among all exhibitors this time. Bold coloring and colorful collages that traditional painting methods meet contemporary images enchant us. 'Fantasy' and 'Phantasmagoria' (phantom) are her visual language, and using this what she expresses is the conceptual articulation of women's desire living in the modern world, she said. Hiro Sugiyama, Koji Sasaki, Sigeki Hattori, Junzo Terada, Yoichi Nakamuta and Mayumi Matsubara.... these arts masters in our creative scene chose her to their awards. Her works are exhibited again at Daibiru from November 27 during the UNKNOWN ASIA EXTRA events.

Super Kawaii!!!! Her world is full of good old scenes of Japanese families that we Japanese have left somewhere now. Capturing warmth moments such as family time, onigiri (rice ball) that mummy makes, school lunch.... It's not Thai at all! Very 'Showa' era! I got it because she was so influenced by the comic "Chibi Maruko Chan", she loves Chibi Maruko Chan very much, haha. Her illustrations made us everyone smile and feel calm. This sweet lovely family scenes must be attracting to everyone beyond generations and genders. I really want her opportunity to work in Japan. I believe that there are good business matchings for her and you! How about Cottons san???

The young illustrator I met at Bangkok. This street vibes and color senses seem influenced by Tadanori Yokoo and Keiichi Tanaami, but she doesn't know them at all. Her pop and rock'n roll taste might be matched to FM802? You put so many drawings in the booth.... I am still confident that you would have had more popularity if you had displayed that Gamelan taste drawing outstandingly. Keep it up!

The Malaysian artists from Sarawak in Borneo. Parade like bunch of ethnic feeling artworks are so fun! He said that Malaysia is fusion of different culture, and it is obviously in his world; the mixture of various art types of Indian, Balinese, Ausutralian... The head costume I wore is this! This picture (above) was taken at his booth.

She is a popular graphic designer and illustrator in Malaysia. See the center banner behind her showing WORK SPACE with the Japanese title ワークスペース. She filled her illustrations entire the booth. Thanks for handwritten Kanji typography. I don't know whether they did meeting how to install their booth though, presentations of everybody the Malaysian team along this aisle covered all walls with their artworks without any space.

They are the illustration duo from Malaysia. They run their own company as clients base B to B works, on the other hand they organize creative team that they can create freely. Look at this funky vibes presentation!

I met her at the portfolio preview in Bangkok. She also draws imaginative creatures like Resatio from Indonesia. Every work is done by hand drawing. Her creative world is lyrical and museum like mood, and at the same time, I cannot resist such a humorous eyes of creatures that she draws. They are heartwarming and pleasant. She gave me a vynil LP record that she did the art direction in Bangkok, and the folky music perfectly matches to her lyrical world. Nice music, too, thank you Lili!

I met him at the portfolio preview in Bangkok. He is an illustrator who works for big projects such as aircraft's body paints for Air Asia. His drawings Vincent van Gogh and Kurt Cobain on blank lotteries as a campus that his parents drew are so super hip. You would have been more outstanding if you had displayed focusing on those drawings on lotteries.

Black and white illustrated girl with a look of melancholy.... she said the theme of monochrome drawing is a blind girl. Only this center picture has colors that she expresses this as images inside of the blind girl. It has colors. Curious.

What inside of deliciously browned baked toasts is geometric graphic design and every geometric has different theme; for instance, one is about Thai economy, another is for public survey. He wraps every concept with slices of bread. His drawers storing ideas seem so variety from pictogram, information design to publishing design and I can see his tremendous interesting to designs from this sophisticated presentation.

Space composition Pam creates in her photograph is well thought out simplicity. Series of subtle landscapes printed on thin copy papers reflect fragility and transitory briefness of life or landscapes, she said. Evelyn Pritt, the Indonesian photographer said she was so moved as if she got goose bumps on Pam’s presentation. Her works attracted much especially photograph professional reviewers and judges. She got 3 Awards by Mr. Sugiyama, the director of the Rokko Photo Festival, Mr. 北原 和規 (Kazuki Kitahara), the art director of Unknown Asia and the founder of UMMM, and Mr. Fang Yen Wen, the photographer and the owner of G Gallery, Taiwan. I am really expecting more opportunities to see her photographs in Japan in the near future.
