His works can be found on his Instagram and his blog.

No formal mural painting training
Yip has no formal training, but he got an early start with his passion in drawing.
The Nanyang Technological University accountancy graduate has been doodling since he was in kindergarten.
He drew his first mural in Raffles Institution.
A common question for him when he first started doing mural drawings was whether he has permission to draw on walls in public.
Since he started, he has done more than two dozen murals as a part-timer painter.
