Reaching
Digital illustration
One composition in two colourways — the figure reaching for a red balloon.
Bloom
Acrylic on canvas
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.
Rin
Rin paints Meow, a cat made of cloud. She draws the character to comfort — soft weather shapes drifting through open sky and over the curve of the earth.
