Hi! I am Pukari, a retro anime illustrator and animator from Thailand. My art got inspired by the nostalgic aesthetics of 80s-9-s manga, anime, music, and everyday life

My work combines retro anime influences with dreamy cityscapes, glowing neon lights, and the quiet beauty of urban living. I enjoy capturing ordinary moments, people living life, or simply existing within the rhythm of the city

Through my original characters, I create stories that celebrate nostalgia, hope, and the small moments that make everyday life feel magical

Messages Across The Stars

This artwork was made for the national book fair key visual competition. It explores the idea of passing on stories, knowledge, and memories through Pukari’s original characters, Puka,” a young messenger, and “Yamada,” her cat companion. They’re traveling through space to deliver letters, books, and messages across different places and times

Golden Dreams

Golden Dreams is about following your dreams and holding the hopes, even when the path ahead is uncertain. Goldfish soaring across the sky symbolize dreams that seem impossible, while Puka (Pukari’s original character) represents ourselves that are following them

Stars Chaser

Yamada, and his friends (Pukari’s original animal characters) are chasing stars somewhere among the stars. These tiny explorers travel across the universe, collecting stardust and dreams, believing that even the smallest spark can brighten the darkest sky

Where Two Universes Collide

Where Two Universes Collide explores the meeting of two original characters from my different artistic worlds. Yamada represents the charm and simplicity of my earlier creations, while Pukari reflects my growth as both an artist and a person. Their first encounter is a celebration of change, showing that every chapter of my creative journey remains connected

Friday Night

Rio, Pukari’s original male character, stands quietly beneath the glow of neon lights, surrounded by the rhythm of a bustling city. This piece reflects my love for retro city life, vibrant streets, glowing signs, and the beauty found in everyday moments

She’s The Moon

Pukari’s Moon&Sun Sticker Collection. This collection got inspired by my own relationship experience of two souls, two energies. Moon finds beauty in silence and stillness, while Sun brings warmth wherever he goes. Though they are different, they complete one another very perfectly

Summer Sparkles

Summer Sparkles captures the carefree joy of summer. The portrait of a girl in warm sunlight and shimmering colors celebrate the warmth, the liveliness, the happiness during summer time

Dress Code

This illustration is a part of the loop animation I made for ‘Dress Code - Kisetsu’ MV. The scene represents the female character who is thinking about her date and feeling excited about what to wear, while she’s on the train

あめ (rain)

This illustration is a part of the loop animation I made for the song ‘Ame - Txrbo’ with 4 millions views. All the characters were designed by Pukari specifically for this song. The fox and the red hood girl were having a very good time together in this place. The girl has gone to somewhere far away but only left her favorite jacket with the fox. The fox still misses her and thinks of the memories they had together in this place, especially when the rain falls
