Bangtan is back MY SHAYLAAA (T_T) throwback to my Life Goes On fanart
Digital illustration fanart of the band BTS. Photos spread across the table, highlighting warm and comforting moments where the members laugh and enjoy themselves. In the middle is all 7 of them in pajamas, giggling and piling on each other, written words "what a relief that we are seven".

I realized I have not posted the full image on here. I'm very thankful for the opportunity to do #graphicrecording for the Commitment panel at the #GlobalDisabilitySummit 2025! It was a great learning opportunity to stroll around and see all the work being done around the globe! #GDS2025 #GDS +
An information-packed, colorful digital illustration capturing the main ideas of the panel “Leading
The Way: Featuring the Most Impactful Commitments for Disability Inclusion in Development
Cooperation”. The title sits clearly in the middle, illustrated by three people with disabilities
looking up and forward to the future. Fanning out from the title, a circle contains the
commitments by the three co-hosts of the Global Disability Summit 2025: Germany, Jordan, and
the International Disability Alliance. Surrounding the circle are 9 distinct sections featuring the
commitments of 9 organizations, each illustrated with straightforward symbols and keywords.
The sections are outlined with four alternating colors: yellow, green, orange, and blue. A light
blue frame ties everything together as well as holds the event logos and the artist’s signature at
the bottom. All the illustrations and texts are hand drawn and hand written, giving the artwork an
organic look.

another sketchbook self portrait 🎨 i can never get my nose right 🥲 and yes that is Tony's chocolate as the background it's my favorite. #gouache #painting #selfportrait #gouacheportrait #acrylicgouache #portraitpainting #dopamineart #tonyschocolonely
A sketchbook laid tilted, displaying a bright, colorful gouache portrait of a young Southeast Asian woman with shoulder length hair, cheekily glancing up. A brush and paint palette is included in the photo, as to suggest the process of how the portrait was painted. The vibrant red wrapping paper of Tony's chocolate is glued on the page to serve as the base for the portrait.A zoom in of the person's face and hair, showing obvious thick brush strokes, especially the highlights in her eyes and glasses. Decorative stars drawn with colored pencil litter across her hair and face.

I understand the intention behind this sentiment (that you should find joy despite it all), but it does reinforce this idea that "disability" and "the self" can be neatly separated. Here's how my #EDS #autism and #ADHD influence "my whole personality" (1/4) #chronicillness bsky.app/profile/buff...

conversation with the ancestors
Three panel comic. The first panel shows a person at a drawing tablet, looking frustrated. She says "I must think of deep, meaningful things to draw!" The second panel shows the same person looking up at a caveman crouching nearby, drawing a cow. They say, "No you don't." And the person at the tablet replies "Wow, you're right!" Panel 3 shows the caveman giving a thumbs up while the tablet person says "Thanks, ghost of neanderthal! Wow, you did thumbs up too?" The caveman replies "Hell yeah."

belated but Happy Year of the Snake 🐍✨ it's my zodiac year, so i thought to combine the snake with the flower that i was named after, "Quỳnh" (Epiphyllum) #art #ChineseNewYear #snake #procreate #YearoftheSnake
An inked digital drawing of a thin venomous snake winding around a flowering plant. The Epiphyllum flowers are in different stage of blooming, its flowers and leaves weave in front and behind the snake's body. The subject of the art is solid white against a rich red background.

The woman on the right has her hair tied up in a bun with a large evening gown scrunched up.A few gesture sketches of a woman in a bodysuit and corset. The poses are dynamic, strong, and sexy.

some of the graphics i made for my own website :D www.buffienguyen.com/graphicrecor...
A screenshot of Buffie's website, specifically her Graphic Recording portfolio. The color scheme is ultramarine blue, bubblegum pink, and white.This graphic shows a person labeled "the audience" being hit with an energy wave with a label "the info". A small disclaimer text says "this is a metaphor only".One of the graphic used in Buffie's website, showing a bunch of documents bursting out of an email app on a laptop. One of the documents have big pink text saying "Cool Graphic".Another graphic showing a hand drawing on a digital tablet. A wave of information pours into the pen, which gets translated to an organized graphic recording.

commissioned some mask chains recently from Sotax Studio on instagram these really help diverge the comments from "why are you wearing a mask" to "omg i love the chains!"
Buffie wearing a black half face mask with a silvery, gothic mask chain over it. Two silver sparkles hang on either ends of the chain. Buffie is wearing a white half face mask, showing off a golden, dainty mask chain over it. The two ends of the chain hang cute bow and pink bell charms.

The weight of hope is too much alone. It can crush you in an instant. The burden of hope is one of a better future. It is everyone’s responsibility, and it needs to be shared. We must carry it together.

cafe doodling, last few days in Korea
A sketchbook lays open on a table at a sunny cafe. A red fountain pen rests between the pages. The black ink sketches are of the plants and decor in the cafe, as well as a fashionable man taking a sip of coffee on the right page. The icy drink and short lamp in the sketches can also be seen on the table.

“The fact that death alone offers financial relief, time relief, and potentially relief from emotional distress is heinous. Death appears to be cost efficient in a world where healthy nondisabled people are considered valuable while older, sick, and disabled people are financial liabilities.”

Basin up
An old funicular station stands on a steep green slope, overlooking a grand basin. Its faded walls, marked with graffiti, show signs of wear and abandonment. A single car rests still on the incline, its paint peeling and rusting. Above, a large cloud rises quietly against the deep vast blue sky.

Philomena Cunk standing beside a Santa statue saying

the good children will get lots of presents and so, it turns out, will the bad ones.

In fact, the only ones who won't get very much are the poor children 
that's because Santa judges a child's goodness based largely on parental income.

Another thing I made this year. Pigeon history!
A comic called "What City Pigeons Talk About". Two city pigeons are standing on the sidewalk. One says "Hey, do you ever think about the past?" The other says "The past?"A closeup of the first pigeon. They say "Yeah - do you ever think about where we came from? Sometimes I forget that city pigeons are domestic animals."A hand reaches out to three wild pigeons. The narrator pigeon says "Humans domesticated us many millennia ago in the Middle East. We provided meat, feces used for fertilizer, and much more." There are two very fancy pigeon breeds. "Over time, people split us into hundreds of pure breeds - some quite elaborate! Kings and queens proudly kept pigeons, and colonists spread us worldwide."A closeup again of the first pigeon, who says, "But we fell out of fashion.  Now we peck at the dusty concrete, our past glory all but forgotten. Do you ever think about that?"
