Meet Daniel Mok! The brilliant mind behind a mockumentary-style comic series that brilliantly captures the essence of anxiety, identity, and the awkwardness of adulthood, all through the lens of everyday Malaysian life infused with dark humor and raw honesty.
Daniel isn’t merely “an artist.” He’s also a scriptwriter and copywriter who wields humor, sharp memes and the nuances of daily life to explore themes of identity and the complexities of modern living. From crafting viral lockdown comics that resonate deeply with audiences to grappling with the nagging question of whether he's still “funny enough” & opens up about something most creators don’t talk about:
“The fear of stagnation.”
In this episode, Daniel opens up about:
✔️ Why every creator eventually hits stagnation
✔️ Imposter syndrome, comparison and losing confidence
✔️ The importance of evolving without losing your core
