CareerWhile studying graphic design at the then Auckland Institute of Technology in the mid-1990s, Sang first began to publish his work in the short-lived New Zealand comic Mainstream, and Auckland event guide The Fix. He also published his own mini-comic book, Filth, which ran to seven issues between 1994 and 1997.[2] The central characters from Filth formed the basis of his next series, The Dharma Punks.[3] This comprised an eight-issue story line, first published in the early 2000s and later compiled into a trade paperback with printing crowd-funded via Kickstarter in 2014.[4] Sang's graphic novel Shaolin Burning was nominated in 2012 for Best Picture Book in the New Zealand Post Children's Book Awards. This was the first time that a young adult graphic novel had been nominated in that category.[5] He has also illustrated graphic novels for Victoria University's Youth Wellbeing Study and been published in magazines including Rip It Up and the New Zealand Listener.[6][7] Sang designed the characters and backgrounds for the award-winning animated show Bro'Town.[8] He has also undertaken commercial work for organisations including SkyCity Cinemas.[9] Selected worksGraphic novels
