Hi everyone, we’re happy to report that we’ve found a better use for the empty spaces on our website; the answer? Art banners! Fortunately, the idea became a reality when Malaysian artist, Hariri Yusof, agreed to share his work with us.

Hariri, 42, is an art teacher at SMK Damai Jaya, Johor Bahru. Working exclusively in watercolours, he enjoys painting idyllic images of kampung life and natural surroundings. His artwork definitely heightens the visual appeal of our website pages, and we’re happy to do our part in promoting Malaysian art and culture to our visitors.

Hariri was recently given the honour of creating a series of stamps for POS Malaysia. The series, which featured palm trees, was launched on 19th May 2009. We hear it’ll be promoted in Korea soon!
