Hi, I’m Justin Tan Tiang Pong. I’m a Singapore-based concept artist, illustrator, and writer for games, television, and film. I’m pledged to Wonder, which I’m able to find just about everywhere. The need to preserve humanity’s rich aesthetic heritage also informs my work (I’m particularly invested in architecture and classical music). I, ah, sing, wander, and rear bugs for hobbies. You can connect with me and my work through this Linktree page.
