Was für einen coole Idee die Vince Low aus Malaysia für eine Dyslexie Kampagne hatte. Dabei ist hier aber die Lese-Rechtschreibstörung gemeint und da er selbst betroffen war, hat er sich für diese Kampagne stark gemacht. Die Portraits sind quasi eine Vorstufe zur Aktion gewesen, Vince neun Celebrity Porträts waren eigentlich eine experimentelle Durchführung dieser Kampagne "Dyslexia didn't stop them".
Damit wollte und will er zeigen, das ein Legastheniker ein einfaches "gekrizzel" in ein Kunstwerk verwandeln kann. Immerhin sind Legastheniker bekannt dafür Menschen mit guten Kunstfähigkeiten zu sein, wie man an den Personen auf den Portraits erkennen kann. Vince dient hier quasi als Zeuge!
How long have you been drawing and what was your first picture ?
I was graduated in 'The One Academy' major in Illustration- year 98'
After that i can't find any illustration vacancy since i graduated so i have move on to be designer to an art director from small agency to big agency. Until 1 day Grey the current company i'm working on have this vacancy. I was a creative group head at that time in Grey. Because I love to execute work my self and love illustration, i ask to transfer to this Illustration department. That was 5 years ago.
What kind of artwork is your fav ?
I love all kind of artwork. That is why you don't see a same style in my folio. I believe in the styling of an illustration has to match the idea. not the other way round. I love to try all kind of illustration i like and modify it to a different style.
Which idols do you have?
In Behance, I must say Alexis Marcou i must admit. Others like Audrey Kawasaki, Ray Caesar, Kathie Olivas, Jason Brooks and more
What was your biggest success so far ?
Other than my local Malaysia advertising awars (Kancil) I'm very happy for my Gold Pencil (OneShow) and shortlisted in Cannes. The moment that i really can't forget is during our Grey 25th anniversary, my creative director do me a viral video as an appreciation.

What are your next plans?
Drawing is still my biggest interest.
I will still stay in advertising agency. I'm still hoping to get a Cannes metal someday. And selling arts online and others opportunity at the same time.
Do you know Germany ?
No.
Thank you very much Vince and keep going on.
