Happy Halloween!! 🎃

I’d like to leave this loneliness in the past someday, but for now, I hope this artwork serves as something anyone experiencing the same thing can relate to! You’re not alone 🩵

My Squid Game fanart of the beautiful disaster that is Lee Myunggi! I have so much love for complex characters who toe the line between good/bad. Yim Siwan's performance as Myunggi is one of my favorite portrayals of a morally grey character I’ve seen in a LONG time! Please go send him some love because he did a damn incredible job 🙏🏻🩵

Thank you for all your support 🩵

He ate my heart … 🫀🩸 Happy Valentine’s Day from Moonjo and Jongwoo! I’ve been obsessed with this kdrama for a while now and wanted to create an illustration for it. I was super inspired by James Jean’s painting for Mother and wanted to create a faux book cover for Strangers from Hell with a similar theme!

My illustration of a hopeless romantic—my character named Thalia! Always the matchmaker, but never the match 💘

ever changing emotions with each changing season ...

A cozy autumn illustration to manifest cooler weather! 🐶

The tale of a solitary butterfly and the garden's keeper.

A nostalgic snapshot of our youth.

It’s been uncharacteristically rainy here in Vegas the past few weeks on and off, so I felt inspired to paint this hydrangea illustration and capture the ripples that form on water with each raindrop ✨ I was also really inspired by the song "A Slow Summer Song" from the kdrama Summer Strike and wanted to capture that cozy and gentle vibe 🌱

This art piece symbolizes the act of letting go of the past and slowly being able to lift your head above water to a brighter future 🌷 I didn't want to illustrate the girl with her head already out of the water just yet, so I wanted to express that feeling of a light at the end of a tunnel or being so close to finally achieving your dreams that you could touch it!

麗 ✦ To my beautiful muse, we love you Uruha 🪻

All jewelry is made of hypoallergenic, stainless steel and features a super lightweight design 🪻 I’m so proud of how these jewelry pieces turned out and absolutely adore the way they look styled up or even down. They really make for a perfect statement piece!

I started working on this illustration of Atsushi Sakurai a couple days after his passing last year, but I fell into a rut and couldn’t find the strength to finish it until now 🥺 The award for most perfect person to study dynamic anatomy poses, stylized realism, and intricate clothing details would have to go to this beautiful soul. Gone far too soon—I hope Atsushi, Reita, and the rest of the incredible rockstars we’ve lost are all chatting up in the heavens about the music they loved to create 🙏🏻🩵

Showing my love for this trio with a little self indulgent Final Fantasy VII illustration!

I feel so blessed that I had the opportunity to see them live in 2016, shake Reita’s and the rest of the members’ hands, and tell Reita how thankful I am for everything they’ve done for me face-to-face. Your memory will live on for an eternity, Reita 🩵 Fly high, our precious rocker. You’re the best bassist in the world and the GazettE, the imprint you’ve left on the rock community, and your spirit will never die 🤟🏻
