Hello I'm Syrup ai. I'm very passionate about Illustration with watercolour, I’ve created a world of imaginary childhood friends called "Nostalgia Town." The inspiration comes from my experiences as an adult, facing pressures, losing a sense of freedom, and sometimes forgetting who I truly am. With Nostalgia Town, I wanted to bring back the memories and friends from childhood, breathing new life into them. This imaginary town stands beside every version of ourselves, reminding us that no matter what kind of childhood dreams we had, there is a place where those memories can live on forever.

OLIVER THE BAKER : A dream of being useful to others

As a child, one of my favorite toys was a white fluffy cat doll, and it perfectly matched my childhood dream of becoming a baker, someone who creates happiness and smiles with bread. This memory became the inspiration for Oliver, the first character in Nostalgia Town. Though he is shy and soft-spoken, his determination to bake and bring joy to the townspeople is unwavering. No matter how tired they are, they can always find comfort and encouragement in the warmth of Oliver’s freshly baked bread.

WELCOME TO OLIVER'S BAKERY

"Wonder where that soft, warm scent is coming from? I guess you’ll have to follow it and find out."
The town's first bakery was created to draw people in with the scent of freshly baked bread, offering comfort to those passing by on weary days. Oliver envisioned a place where townspeople and travelers alike could stop for a moment, enjoy his warm bread, and leave with a smile. With warm colors, arched glass windows, and cake-patterned walls, the shop feels like a cozy home. Visitors can always find peace here, knowing that a bite of Oliver's bread will heal them on the toughest days.

HEALING IN A BITE FOR EVERYONE, EVERY DAY.

Open everyday open 8.00 AM - 6.00 PM.
Oliver’s bakery never takes a day off, offering encouragement to everyone, every day. If you visit in the morning, you’ll receive a chocolate chip cookie as a lucky charm, promising a good day ahead. Each time the bakery opens, Oliver carefully arranges the bread, smiling softly with pride, knowing that being surrounded by what he loves will pass that joy on to others.

SUNDAY'S JOY

Every sunday is always active in Oliver’s bakery kitchen, but he’s happiest when busy making bread for everyone. His desire to be useful to others is pure, with no expectation of anything in return, just the simple joy of seeing the smiles that his delicious, fragrant bread brings to those who enjoy it.

DELICIOUS BREAD HEALS ALL WOUNDS.

At Oliver's bakery, the daily bread menu offers something special in each loaf. Every ingredient is chosen to heal different kinds of exhaustion, whether it’s from love, work, or health. Just whisper to Oliver what’s bothering you, and he’ll prepare the perfect bread to lift your spirits.

ENDLESS WARMTH

On days that you are feeling tired and lost, know that you can always visit Oliver and receive his baked goods without expecting to give anything in return. The warmth of Oliver’s bread will heal you. And for him, the act of giving reminds him of his self-worth. He wishes to continue sharing that warmth, knowing he’s still making a difference in people’s lives.

MARYJANE THE DRESSER: A Dream of Confidently Being Oneself

More Artwork/Merchandise:

To build on the idea of a town inspired by childhood imagination, I combined vintage items with the character designs to make them more relatable and friendly. This led to the creation of paper dolls, a classic childhood toy for many. With Maryjane as a paper doll, everyone can imagine dressing her up and taking her on adventures anywhere. It’s like having a little friend who’s always there to remind you to feel confident and happy.
