My newest piece I have been working on from my PB manuscript based on my childhood experience. I loved the clack and feel of mahjong tiles!
What delighted you as a child growing up?

More from my dummy! It is fun doing my own calligraphy for my stories especially this one because the voice is so strong in my mind. I just have to be able to show it in the writing...
*more on my website!

Remember this little guy? It's ok because I do. Same adorable "feeling" but different "fun"! (double joke if you know Cantonese 😜) Working furiously on my dummy with this little Bao but this is from Bao's Dad's story... will he get his own book next time?

A cute comic strip from Pascal's mentorship!

Last year, I wanted to work on my color and took an AMAZING workshop from @warriorartcamp "Color as your secret weapon" by @austendraws (highly recommend). And it led to my final piece for my portfolio! I will photo-dump here lol.

No one: "Whoa! Did you actually draw out a whole story comic in two weeks?"
Me: Yes. Yes I did.
Then I slept for 14 hours straight afterwards.
Also an assignment from workshop with @pascalcampionart (This was not mandatory by the way but you know how we artists like to suffer, I mean, draw)

If you came from my IG @nhyboyer - Yay and THANK YOU! 🥰. If you were already here - also THANK YOU! 😍. For all my friends patiently following this slow page, I will finally post the art I have accrued.
This is a sketch for my story "Bao and the Bean Sprout" - inspired from @pascalcampionart

I am participating in AWEtober again this year! Check out my Instagram page for more info: www.instagram.com/p/DAyvqdFyrp...

Hi! I recently traveled to Taiwan and got to enjoy all the wonderful night markets which led me to redo a newer version of this illustration idea about two human kids who snuck into an animal night market in disguise 🥰🍡🏮!

Thanks to my lovely #kidlit friend @melcordan.bsky.social for the code to get in here! Now I just have to re-curate my list of kidlit people who are here...trying to slowly migrate from the other platform is very slow but necessary. Can't wait to reconnect with everyone here!😍👋
