Haluuu, good to have you tooo! I never got the hang of the chatter in twitter and I'm coming more from instragram-state-of-mind, which is a lot less wordy and a lot more image heavy for art-inspiration purposes. Hope I'll get comfy soon!

Throwin' a little timelapse to see how vids act on Bluesky! Worked on this illustration on Clip Studio Paint, and composited in AE. Fun fact- the elevator is going up to 19th floor, like the 19th edition of Animest Film Festival for which I made this animation trailer!

Had a whirlwind trip in Malaysia in January when I found Dear Brother, a book I recently illustrated- in Kinokuniya, my favourite-est bookshop where I spent many, many weekends growing up. Dear Brother is written by Alison McGhee, published by Atheneum Books For Young Readers.

I’ve had a roller coaster year. Most of it good. There’s also a heavy loss. The year hasn’t ended and it’s still showing up with surprises. When my brain doesn’t feel like tangled overcooked noodles, I do feel grateful.
