Indra Riding Erawan
Bangkok recently launched the new Metropolitan Administration logo and identity system(all designed by Farmgroup). I think it would be fun to illustrate Indra and the Erawan elephant, which are elements from the logo and the symbol of Bangkok, using the new color scheme and typeface.
Hyakka No Maho / ลูกแมวขาวกับห้างมหัศจรรย์ - Book Cover Design
‘Hyakka No Maho’ or ‘ลูกแมวขาวกับห้างมหัศจรรย์’ (by Saki Murayama) book cover illustration for Bunshou Publishing. I used key elements, settings, and objects from the story for the composition, creating an atmosphere of mystery and magic.
The Burnt City - Prayer Card Design
This is my ongoing personal project. The Burnt City (Punchdrunk) is an immersive theatre that I went to frequently when I was studying in London. The overall story takes inspiration from Greek mythology and is set during the Fall of Troy. I want to capture each character's key moments and illustrate them in the form of ancient prayer cards.
Swamp Song
The wetland animals play instruments in peace. I took inspiration from the animals' voices in my own backyard. In the evening of summer days, I often hear a variety of sounds; frogs, birds, cicadas, lizards. It's a kind of melody that eludes calm and nostalgic vibes that remind me of home. This piece has won the Judge’s Pick Award from Illustration Taipei 2024.
Seclusion
A lone crocodile on the top of the bell tower. I took inspiration from 'notre dame' by Paris Paloma. The idea was to convey the feeling of silence in the loudness by using the animal character whose habitat is far from the heights, the crocodile, to represent alienation.
Red Rabbit X Talisman - Neckerchief Design
My neckerchief design for Red Rabbit Trading Co.’s collaboration with Talisman BKK. The illustration includes Red Rabbit's turquoise and silver jewelry, the symbols of the brand, with an essence of the Talisman shop's interior.
Drawnin - Picture Book
‘Drawnin’ is my submission for the Silent Book Contest 2024. It is a 32-page picture book telling the story of a girl who gets lost in the world of her drawings and has to use her stationery as a tool to solve problems and get back to the real world. I was inspired by my childhood love of art and how simple drawings can create a whole world to be absorbed in.
Blooming Season
Some kind of fairy or nature spirit who disguises himself and works with humans in the big city. Sometimes when no one is looking, they will reveal their true form and have a relaxing time in their office.
The Vocalist
The proud sailor who is passionate about singing. His fame spread so far that other ships had to stop and sail nearby to admire his performance.BKKIF ARTIST SPECIAL
