06 - Big Dreams Start in Small Town
"Big dreams start in a small town.Be brave, explore, and look around.
See the world, hear your heart’s sound.
You’ll find good people and memories abound."
Inspired by a girl who left her hometown and began a new journey in Belgrave, Australia, this illustration tells a story of courage, new friendships, and a cozy life surrounded by nature and furry friends. It was later developed into a T-shirt and postcard design featuring the poem above.
07 - M(eow)aze
"Life is a journey,Sometimes happy, sometimes messy,
Take a breath, jump up, and look widely,
Find your way, trust your heart, and move freely,
Life is a journey."
Inspired by a life’s journey when we feel lost and alone. But from a cat’s curious and resilient perspective, even a maze becomes a playground where every problem can be passed and overcome. This artwork encourages us to look around, breathe, and find playful solutions with a positive mind. It is currently being developed into an art print and fabric screen for the Taipei Illustration Fair booth.
08 - Melody of Books
Created for the 2025 Thai Book Fair Key Visual Contest under the theme 'Melody of Books.' Books today come alive on many platforms like podcasts, audiobooks, e-books, and more. This illustration follows a gang of cats on imaginative adventures, each journey sparked by a different story. Music notes weave through their worlds, connecting mediums and minds into one harmonious flow of imagination.
09 - Read in Peace
Created for the 2024 Thai Book Fair Key Visual Contest under the theme 'Read Until the Next Life.' This piece reimagines a utopia for unread books, where ghosts from Thai mythology and global folklore gather in peace to meet and read. The title plays on 'R.I.P.'—from Rest in Peace to Read in Peace.
