House of Lim.

Hi!
This year I’m introducing Saltie to Singapore
where the croc meets a local boy named Benny.
Together, they travel around the island in the
waterways, reservoirs, jungle trails and along the
coastline
to meet the other residents in a funny and witty tour of
the wild side of this Little Red Dot.
As this will be an ongoing series for an
eventual full colour comic book, I welcome sponsors and
promoters
who want to join in the fun.

Cheah Sinann’s new graphic novel about
piracy, romance and betrayal, 'Terumbu', sets sail this
year and promises more exciting action and drama. Set in
mid 19th century Singapore, it is a love story between a
young Riau pirate and the daughter of a penghulu, who
objects to their relationship. Left with no choice, the
star-crossed lovers elope to the sea but the arrival of
the British colonialists will affect the future of the
Malay Peninsula and change their lives forever. Sponsored by the National
Heritage Board of Singapore and published by COSH Studios(https://www.coshstudios.com/).

As the volume of Cheah's works is relatively high, this site showcases only a fraction of it. He will try to update it and add more when he has the time. If you remember a strip or drawing that he's done before and wish to see it again, email him at sinann@houseofcheah.com
