As his country turns 50 on Sunday, a little Singaporean boy's drawing will be seen by his countrymen on Google's front page as its Google Doodle.

Eight-year-old Haydn Moh won a nationwide search to have his drawing featured as Google's commemorative logo for the occasion. He was the overall winner across five categories of students between the ages of four and 18.

His mother, Jeslin Ong, who is an art director at an advertising agency, says her son has the attention span to draw for hours each day, and can churn out up to 20 pieces a session. Moh hasn't had formal art classes, but has been able to produce fairly complex art for his age, she added.
