The Association of Comic Artists (Singapore) (ACAS) was formed in 2005 by a group of professional & semi-professional Singapore-based cartoonists, all of whom had in their portfolio previously published work.
ACAS has been active in workshops & seminars, promoting & demonstrating the artform of pictorial storytelling. Along with art competition judging tasks, ACAS has been visible in much local media promoting the positives that come from comics.
2008 has seen a resurgence in the Association’s drive to now ensure local or locally connected talent see their work in the international marketplace. So much so, we are currently undergoing a slight name adjustment, which means adjusting the word ‘Artists’, to ‘Artistes’ – we are keen to include writers in our new drive, as well as general comic empowering design enthusiasts.
Apart from prospects of publishing, ACAS now has a programme of liaising with numerous local vertical businesses, who are able to offer its members varying customer incentives.
