He is also a painter, better known for his brightly coloured naive-style 'kampung' or village scenes, usually with a flowing river, where he spent much of his time as a child. Mie Mambo has also ventured into music and is currently working hard with his band to produce an album. Coming soon in 2010, Mie Mambo's Tapir graphic novel series will be out in the market and features life in Kuala Lumpur City. Mie Mambo lives in Kuala Lumpur with his wife Sri and daughter, Kasih.

    Nur Azmi (Mie Mambo) talks about his paintings which he feels is the source of his creations leading to his books and music. Interview by PTS Media.

    "Nur Azmi is a colourist and he knows how to control his technique. He also knows what he wants. When we look at his painting, we do not just feel it's nice but we want to know what's in it." Yusof Gajah
