SIMILAR to others in the animated realm of the creative industry, Adam Musa Othman’s formative years in Selangor were steeped in cartoon and animation. Much like a sponge of sorts, Adam took in everything around him.
“I was always drawn to the everyday beauty of Malaysian life, as seen in Lat’s iconic cartooning, the textures of old buildings and watching the clouds over rooftops,” he told theSun.
Now based in the US, Adam makes a living as an artist and animator at a studio specialising in animation for commercials and original projects. Though now abroad, Adam frequently describes how the influences back home shaped his visual language and storytelling, particularly what he gleaned from famed Malaysian cartoonist Datuk Mohd Nor Khalid.
