The contrast in styles is interesting. Songsin Tiewsomboon, from Bangkok, employs a more text-heavy style, while Mandy Ord from Melbourne is more reminiscent of iconoclastic autobiographical indie artists and gets a lot of emotion through his expressionistic art style. And Lyndon Gregorio of the Philippines employs a more traditional cartooning style with more unconventional layouts!
I think it'd be a bit too much of a generalization to say that every artist perfectly represents his or her country, as surely there's diversity in style everywhere. It is interesting, however, to see how the participating artists differ from the others.
The artists are:
Songsin Tiewsomboon, Bangkok, Thailand
Mawil, Berlin, Germany
Sascha Hommer, Hamburg, Germany
Nguyen Thanh Phong, Hanoi, Vietnam
Beng Rahadian, Jakarta, Indonesia
Sidney Tan, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Lyndon Gregorio, Manila, Philippines
Mandy Ord, Melbourne, Australia
Wee Tian Beng, Singapore
