The Gilamons are
Lefty, Sau Lim and Michael Chuah, The Gilamon project
is a platform for their creative juice to run wild in
a no hold bar kind of way. Gilamon specializes in Graphic
storytelling, graphic design and character design. So
far they have come out with mini comics, series of T-shirt
design, poster design and other merchandises. Lefty
conceived all his layouts in black and white the old
school way. Michael's works are full of cute but vicious
characteristic. Sau Lim's style is more towards the
dark and gritty side of life.
