Drawing inspiration from my personal experience (which many of you may relate
to), this illustration is a breakup letter I wrote for the Vans Skate Old Skool Shoe.

In 2024, at the start of the Year of

path of learning and creation, I hope to bring the fantasy world in my mind to
life on paper.

This album cover design for Midnight by Raw Nerve is inspired by the band’s
intense and aggressive rhythm.

Inspired by the musical SIX, this piece depicts Catherine Parr, the sixth and final
wife of Henry VIII. Unlike her predecessors, Parr wasn’t beheaded or divorced,
and she remarried her former lover shortly after Henry's death.

In a secret laboratory, forbidden experiments took a dark turn, giving birth to magical lambs with unexpected powers. Now, these once-innocent creatures
have risen to exact their playful yet vengeful revenge.
