Extraordinary funny and clever illustrations The Malaysian artist Chow Hon Lam has made some very funny but clever illustrations that also includes a touch of irony. The artist himself thinks that even if you are an animal, an object or some sort of food, you have something to say even though you can’t speak. Therefore Hon Lam wants to create and tell their story to the worldWhen people confront him about it, he just say: “I guess they must have something to say … Trust me, I try to communicate with them!” In the illustrations you can see how a the milk in a cow’s body is emptying itself while milking, gingerbread men creating themselves, a golfer breaking the sky with his golfball, etc. Others have done similar illustrations showing how the world would be if everything was different and upside down in our lives. In the visual art world, illustrators have sometimes been considered less important in comparison with fine artists and graphic designers.

Despite what you can achieve with software like Photoshop, you still need a concept that's going to stick in people's minds. 01.
