“The Sky Art Gallery was conceptualised to celebrate Singapore’s 46th National birthday,” says OIC project coordinator, Fleecircus. ”OIC is very honoured to be given such an opportunity to be able to work with and showcase our work with such an iconic symbol of Singapore. We were invited to create ten illustrations to give the cable cars a “festive” look. The illustrators were given total freedom to create their own designs and put their ideas into the artwork. It is a rare opportunity to be on such a national platform that touches a very wide audience of both Singaporeans and tourists. Let’s hope that more brands will recognize local talent, and offer more work opportunites and partnerships.”

The participating illustrators are AnnGee, Ben Qwek, Brian Chia, Eeshaun, Fleecircus, Mindflyer, Noreen Loh, Shawna Chan, Twisstii and WantonDoodle.

From tomorrow till 21 August.
