What do you do?
I love to create art. Not with the usual paintbrush and watercolour and pencils though - I like to grab whatever I can get hold of - rocks, ketchup, milk, salt, shirts - and turn them into art. It's more fun that way!
So, why 'Red'?
It's a nickname one of my best friends gave me, coz my surname, 'Hong', sounds like the word 'red' in Chinese. My full name is Hong Yi. You can call me Red.
Where are you from?
I'm from Sabah, Malaysia, and spent a third of my life in Australia. I recently moved from Melbourne to Shanghai for work, and am loving this crazy, exciting, fast-paced city.
A quote you live by?
"Always remember that this whole thing was started with a dream and a mouse." - Walt Disney
