Sonny Liew

Sonny Liew is a Malaysian-born comic artist/illustrator based in Singapore. He is best known for his work on Vertigo Comics' My Faith in Frankie together with Mike Carey and Marc Hempel, and "Re-gifters" from DC Minx.

Born in Seremban, Malaysia, Liew attended school at Victoria School and Victoria Junior College in Singapore. He went on to read Philosphy at the Clare College in Cambridge University in UK and studied illustration at the Rhode Island School of Design in 2001. His first foray into comic illustration was with Singaporean tabloid paper The New Paper, contributing to the Paper's comic strip titled Frankie and Poo. He published a compilation later, including censored strips. Shortly after his graduation from Rhode Island Liew met The Uncanny X-Men writer Chris Claremont who was impressed by his portfolio of work. Claremont not only showed him around the Convention, he also gave Liew his first break into the comics industry, by letting him illustrate Iron Man for Marvel's Marvel Universe Millennial Visions title.^[1]

His work has appeared in the Flight Anthologies edited by Kazu Kibuishi, and in 2008 he served as editor on the Liquid City ^[2] comics anthology from Image Comics, featuring mostly Southeast Asian creators including Lat, Gerry Alanguilan and FSC. He was nominated for an Eisner award in the pencilling/inking category for his work on SLG and Disney's Wonderland, written by Tommay Kovac.
