What is Attoboy?

atto – (A’•toh) metric prefix; the smallest metric division, as in micro, nano, etc; one quintillionth of a unit or 1×10-18; very very small

Attoboy is the website of Calgary based illustrator and designer Derek Mah, who will now stop referring to himself in the third person.

Welcome to my loosely organized collection of paintings, illustrations and design. Wow. Is that it? You’d think this would be a bigger site.

Showcase collects the presentable stuff and includes published books, corporate design, commercial illustration, websites and a little flash.

Diversions is a catch-all for ongoing projects, experiments, sketches, comics and assorted creative meandering.

About Attoboy is all about me. Me. Me. Me. Me. Me. Because I am so important. Don’t deny it. You’re reading it now, aren’t you? I accept your apology.

There is also a collection of mini-sites. The Quicktour Portfolio is a brief no-frills cross-section of recent work. Villainology is the official website of the Villainology and Monsterology books.

Have a look around. Feel free to poke stuff and be careful of the cats. Send missives of love and admiration via the Contact form at the bottom of every page.

Thanks for coming by!
Derek
