Thomas Riego

I'm a Fillipino animator and illustrator based in Singapore! I like making art that depicts the realistic and mundane as fantastical and extraordinary, taking inspiration from anime and movies. I mainly use Photoshop, TVPaint and Clip Studio Paint to make my illustrations and animations.

I am only a student so I lack any relevant professional experiences

I participated in numerous productions as an on-stage performer and as a part of the production team as a stagehand. We put on performances for both the general public and the school, winning awards in competitions such as the Singapore Youth Festival (SYF), attaining gold and silver. The Drama club was also responsible for organizing “Youthphoria”, a student organized performance which involved the collaboration of all the performance arts CCAs in the school.
