Da Ren Kelu - Collaboration with Desmond kon
Handmade "Da Ren Kelu"
This fruitarian microbat lives in the Tree of Life, and only leaves its roost on the first full moon of every leap year. Little more is known of this mythical-mystical bat. On its last sighting, tourists said it now has the tree emblazoned on its tiny lips, in criss-crossing band-aids, as if to offer an eternal apology for its self-imposed seclusion. Sometimes, it manages to speak. When that happens, the utterance sounds something like "différance" in soft and cooing echoes.
Based on a poem by Desmond Kon
Drawn & created by Nana Pong

It's been just a wonderful experience collaborating with you, Nana! Needless to say, your work is stunning, your entire Kelu series just oozing with wild fun and creative energy! I especially love the full-colour illustration you gave this packaging. One more showpiece for your hometown of Keluang! Hope the fruit bats there are lark-happy too! ~ Desmond Kon
