It’s #portfolioday so I gotta show my stuff! It’s da law!

I’m a watercolour artist based in Japan and I like painting fantastical surrealism (or something like that).

A female with long wispy pink hair, surrounded by pink chrysanthemums. A mermaid with pink flowing hair, wearing off-the-shoulder clothing, with a long swishing purple tail, sitting on a broken tree trunk, holding a waterlily, among river foliage and surrounded by an arch formed from waterlilies. A black cat floating among pink carnation flowers and decorated with gold leaf patterns. A pink mermaid with long flowing hair, sitting relaxed on a rock, surrounded but fish, crabs, coral and seaweed and listening intently to a hermit crab.

So….been watching a lot of videos analyzing the song “Golden” and now I love it even more! K-pop is not my jam but learning about the backstory of Ejae and how the song was created has now made me want to drawn fanart. Who’da thought!?

I only have 15 stickers of this cute sparkly wombat! I won’t be restocking this kind of sparkly sticker (I actually don’t think the printing shop offers it anymore!). All proceeds will go towards a charity helping charities fight mange!

Happy Wombat Day!

I don’t think these lil chonkas get enough recognition. I love them! So much so I made these paintings into stickers! AND with every sticker sold, proceeds go to a charity combating mange in Wombats. Check them out in the link below👇

I must’ve subconsciously thought about @xxnekixxnillaxx.bsky.social kitty when naming my “Midnight Bloom” painting as she was called Midnight. Oooof my eyes are watering!🥹😭💕

I love the black cat painting so much 💜 I'm glad I was able to grab a print/sticker bundle. It reminds me of my late baby girl midnight 🥺
