Wendy Chew, aka Mashi, is an illustrator whose
childhood was spent watching Disney's animated films of princesses and the 80's
cartoons. With that, she gradually develops the passion for drawing, especially
drawing girls.
Aspiring to be a Disney 2D animator one day, Wendy went to
Nanyang Polytechnic (Singapore) to pursue her studies in Digital Media Design, specialising
in animation. Upon graduation in 2003, she worked in the entertainment industry
and gained more knowledge about illustrators, comic artists and pin-up art.
The biggest influence for her art style comes from Bruce
Timm. His art style inspires her and Wendy
gradually develops her own style which can be seen from her
DeviantART gallery at mashi.deviantart.com.
The dream of sharing her passion came true when her art was
featured in Udon Entertainment's "Street
Fighter Tribute", Brandstudio Press's "Eye Candy
From Strangers Book 2" and "Little Book of Kawaii".
Her strong love for pin-up arts encouraged the self-publish
of her art books, "Vitamin C - Art of Wendy
Chew", "The art of Wendy Chew 2" and “Mashi's
Sketchbook 1”. She has worked on a few sets of Marvel's sketch cards for Upper
Deck Company and DC's sketch cards for Cryptozoic Entertainment. In 2011, she
also had the chance to have a small exhibition, “Comic Art Show 2011” with
fellow local artists and collarborated with Toysrevil on a t-shirt design,
which was sold at 2011's Anime Fair Asia. In 2012, she collaborated with Vinyl
on Vinyl to produce her first-ever figurine “Honnie”, and a new version was
released at Singapore Toys, Games and Comic Convention 2013.
To date, she has attended these events; Seattle's Emerald
City Comic Convention 2010, Singapore Toys, Games and Comic Convention 2010 -
2013, Anime Fair Asia 2011, Popular's Book Fest 2011 and Malaysia Games and
Comics Convention 2012.
