Draw Interest
I've fallen head over heels for the contemporary work of Ahmad Zakii Anwar. Zakii, as he's known, is one of three most sought after Malaysian artists [the others being abstract painter Latiff Mohidin and watercolorist Chang Fee Ming]. His charcoals render me speechless and would make the ultimate memento of our time in Southeast Asia.

Oh Courtney! These are AMAZING~ how gorgeous!!!
Wow, those are amazing! Definitely go for one if you're able. It will remind you of this amazing time!
WOW! Speechless is right! A truly accomplished artist. You will never regret having one of his drawings--never!
OK, those are amazing! Now if I can only win the lottery :)
Zaki is a super-nice guy! I once visited his studio in JB. He has some very amusing and suggestive still-lifes of fruit (can you say "phallic" and "vulval", boys and girls?) which he has not shown -- done only for his own amusement.
Anyway STPI in Singapore (www.stpi.com.sg) might still have some of his editioned works for sale, which would be way-cheaper than the larger one-off charcoals...(but the charcoals are nicer!!)
