# About me

I was trained as a marine biologist who specialised in hard coral taxonomy. I became a science teacher for three years, before getting kicked out and landing hard on my shebs. Things started going downhill from there. I started up and closed down a couple of businesses, my marriage was effectively terminated and hopped from job to job.

I am now Artistic Director and Chief Monster Maker of Sanctumania Studios who designs and builds costumes and props, mainly armor. I am in the Malaysia Book of Records for being the first Malaysian to become a member of the Mandalorian Mercs Costuming Club, an international Star Wars fan-based costume club.

I've completed my third solo costumes exhibition, Resurrection III, at the Museum & Galeri Tuanku Fauziah, USM Penang in 2009, and was also involved in the Malaysian Contemporary Art Tourism campaigns in Penang in 2010 and 2011. I was nominated in the Signature Art Prize in Singapore in 2011.

Your Mandalorian Crusader artwork is pretty impressive, you really don't see a lot of artwork about those guys. Keep up the great work

Hi,
I'm interested in your Saya's sword/katana since it uses cardboard. Could you briefly describe how you made it? I think a tutorial would be pretty awesome as well ^^
I'm intrigued because I like making cosplay props out of cheap and easy to manipulate materials. I'm in the process of finishing a cardboard katana myself.

I would prefer you complete one thing at a time, stick to it and make sure it gets done. Focus, rather than wanting to have everything and yet nothing...

I wrote in google "haji sword" and entered in a tutorial of yours, that explains how to make the saya`s katana. And then your deviant came out. This is really amazing, your work is such an inspiration, for real.
