drawing and journaling :)
I visited Taipei last January, just a few days before the coronavirus outbreak became known and led to global lockdowns. After being busy for while, here I am finally ready to start documenting the interesting places I found and experiences I had during the trip. One of my favorites was visiting Beitou, located in the …
Seven months have passed since my last post on this blog. I’ve been busy lately, and now that I have some time to spare, I decided to give this blog a fresh look—and realized how much I miss blogging! So here’s a little update about what’s been going on with life so far. We all …
Looking back at these photographs, I can’t help but feel a yearning for snow. It was the heaviest snow I’ve experienced in my life so far. Everywhere I looked, it was all white. The snow rose to more than knee-high. I knew Sapporo would be cold in winter, but I didn’t expect the snow to …
Recreating my all-time favourite portrait paintings… with a twist (and a tail)! I created this illustration series during a month-long break a little while ago. I loovee looking at classic paintings, especially portrait ones. I also loovee pets and bad puns. So I decided to combine those three (classic paintings + pets + bad puns), and this is what …
It’s only a few hours left before we enter 2020. I cleaned my little home studio today because I want it to be pretty and neat when I wake up tomorrow morning. It’s a simple way to motivate myself for the New Year. In case you’re wondering, I’m a freelance illustrator and graphic designer who …
Continuing my previous post about the winter trip I had in Sapporo, I think this is the perfect time to reminisce about this particular part of the trip because today is the 25th! Anyway, I hope you are having a wonderful time this holiday season. 🙂 Speaking of wonderful, there is really no other way …
I will never get sick of seeing winter pictures, especially of a city as charming as Sapporo. Compared to Hakodate, Sapporo is way colder but also more lively. The city is bigger and busier, as it is the capital of Hokkaido Prefecture and also the 5th largest city in Japan. However, when the snow starts …
During my short trip in Hakodate, I visited Goryokaku Park, which is a huge star-shaped historical fort built in the last years of the Edo Period (1800s). Since it had been snowing all night before, the snow had transformed the whole park into an endless field of white. It looked like a view taken out …
With Christmas approaching, I think it’s a good time to share that winter trip I had in Japan. Let’s start with Hakodate, because it’s the first city I stopped by when I reached Hokkaido. Hokkaido is the coldest island in Japan. During winter, most streets, houses, and buildings are covered with snow. The snow itself …
Recently, I started making GIFs again—you know, the image that moves. Long ago, I used to make GIFs because it’s so satisfying to see my drawings come alive and move. But then life got busy and I stopped making them. decided to make GIFs again because I wanted to put unique animated stickers on my …
