animal parade
— Techniques
ink on paper
A collection of animal portraits made by ink.
I made it first for the Inktober challenge in 2018 but somehow all of these animals became my comfort zone to my hard time during the MA. By assembling it into a a proper book is my way of being grateful to all the lines that had helped me through.

animal parade: nct edition
— Techniques
ink on paper and digital colouring
A spin-off of Animal Parade, made from the love I had for NCT.
When the final project for my MA approached, I was so stressed out and became numb. But to my utmost surprise, one of the things that made me feel alive again was a boyband named NCT. All the laugh and comfort I got from them at that time were something I would like to cherish in my heart.

of pie and soup
— Techniques
graphite and coloured pencils on paper
An English graphic novel about a lonely cook who wants to belong.
This might me my most personal piece of work that holds a special place in my heart to date. It was actually an abandoned project at a time but later when I’d decided to revisit it, I’d learnt to see it through a new perspective and truly make it my own work in the end.

some fine spring days
— Techniques
graphite on paper, paper collage and digital colouring
A bunch of little stories of little animals in the big forest.
It’s an English-Thai picturebook with activities such as a crossword, a spot-the-diffecrence game, sticker decoration, etc. I pour my heart in every work I’ve done, however this one with an extra amount of loveliness since. It can be read by its own, but if you are a fan of NCT you might enjoy it more :-)
(Cheers to my fantastic model, Pinku !)

The Little Wanderers
— Techniques
traditional collage, acrylic, and coloured pencils
A picturebook about some peculiar little stories, told with lively, dark humour and morbid nursery rhymes, accompanied with rich-texture collage illustration.
The Little Wanderers is a very special book to me, like an old friend who's always been there for me at all the good, bad and weird of times.
And I sincerely hope, that maybe someday, one day, we will go together on an adventure in this vast, lonely world again.
