My piece for
@gallerynucleus
20th Anniversary Mulan Show! Super honoured to be able to make a piece for one of my favourite Disney films, please check out the show if you are in the area!
now that everyone is watching/re-watching Evangelion, I'd like to bring a reminder of my favourite things ever:
Strange And Weirdly Specific Official Eva Art
It's such a great time for cartoons. There's more LGBT characters, characters of colour, and more women, NB and LGBT folx working on these shows.
Hot takes about how cartoons "aren't as good as they used to be" are just ignoring all these strides ( ใปโใป)
Today is the anniversary of Tiananmen. Today, the government has banned the vigil in Victoria Park.
I know so much happening. But, please look at what's happening in Hong Kong.
A fight for democracy and justice for an entire YEAR of police brutality.

I've participated in where I've felt happy and excited about the direction my art is going (ยด๏ฝฅฯ๏ฝฅ`๏พ)๏พ โฉ๏ผ
living in the opposite timezone to your friends kinda feels like being penpals with them because you can only exchange a couple words a day and are always wishing each other to have a good day while you fall asleep
I never really produce enough personal art to make end-of-year wrap ups, but this year I did produce some pieces I feel genuinely proud of
Experimenting with text, and graphic design elements, and trying to make work that reflect my personal interests, which is super gratifying
Hello!! I've been quiet here on Twitter the last few months, and now that it's super confirmed, I've started a new adventure as a...
TATTOO APPRENTICE!! Still feels surreal, help๐
Updates (and future bookings?? aaaa) will be on my Instagram!
Hello! I am taking a big plunge and moving to HONG KONG to be an Art Director ( โขฬแโข ฬ)๏ปญโง
I am super terrified but also excited! New adventure~
I bought a super inspiring book on East Asian graphic design and typography today โญ๏ธใฐโญ๏ธ
I especially love the ones that place careful thought into the pictograph origins of a character into the design
midoriya izuku is a very relatable character because when he trips on entrance exam day rather than catching himself like a normal person, his reaction was "this is fine, I guess I'll just die"
Americans saw these sights in Hong Kong, condemned the CCP and the police. The protestors were โfreedom fightersโ.
And yet the same tactics used in Minneapolis are the actions of โlootersโ and โriotersโ? Police action now, the use of tear gas and rubber bullets, is โjustifiedโ?
some of my favourite tattoos I did this year ; ;
it was basically the worst timing ever to choose 2020 as the year I switched careers, but considering that in january 2020 I had never tattooed before, and by the end I could do these, I'm proud of myself
I canโt work anymore because of lockdown (which, donโt get me wrong, is the right move and necessary), here is a WIP sleeve that I was excited abt that will have to be finished at a future date ๐
