TFF: How did you go about illustrating “The End of Rain”?
Joyce Chng: What I did was to let the images come to me while I read the story. It was lyrical and beautiful, immediately inspiring some visual imagery. The first was the mandala of water/droplets, followed by two people embracing.
TFF: Have you ever had a close affinity with a piece of land or other geographical feature?
JC: Interestingly enough, I have had close affinity to… the sea. I feel calm when I touch sea water. As for land or geographical feature, I love mountains, hills and cliffs.
TFF: Have you ever seen a piece of art that you wished was alive?
JC: Mona Lisa, by Leonardo Da Vinci. I am intrigued by her and her backstory. Her eyes seem to indicate a warm personality who loves to laugh.
TFF: What else are you working on now?
JC: A YA duology (Sapphic, swords, friendship, coming-of-age) and a collection of my own SFF stories.
