Bluesky

Meow, drawn as weather. Across two square canvases the character gathers over the curve of a blue Earth, backlit by a starfield; in the round panel the same shape settles into open daylight, paw pads just visible through the cloud.

Onyx and Alabaster

A spiky little icon, cast in two finishes — Alabaster and Onyx. Minimal form, quiet emotion; the same silhouette reads one way pale and another in black.

Somdee

A Thai character artist working across sculpture and paint. His spiky little icon — cast in resin as Onyx and Alabaster — turns minimal form and quiet emotion into art toys, and the same hand carries onto canvas.
