After a career that has taken him from Singapore to Shanghai, comic book artist and illustrator Julian Kam, better known as Lefty in the art scene, has come home to Penang.
He is taking a break from zombie superheroes and mutating germs to document a series based on childhood experiences and places.
From his
I Am Home series, Lefty has been spending these pandemic months exploring what it means to be Malaysian, a Penangite and the meaning of being truly at home.
