I’m an illustration and digital art designer living in Bangkok, Thailand. I am the owner of Backpack Sir Sir, Akira Dragonfly, and Kettlr. My journey into painting began with the encouragement of my elementary school art teacher but did not continue through high school. It wasn’t until I pursued a Bachelor’s degree in Art and a career in graphic design, multimedia, and illustration that I returned to my passion for painting.

Unsent, Kawaguchiko

Beside a red postbox in Kawaguchiko, Akira hesitates while Kettlr patiently holds an unsent letter, capturing the quiet space between intention and action. Sometimes the letter is ready, but the heart is not.

Unsent, Taipei

If you miss someone but can’t tell them, some feelings stay between the heart and the mailbox. Some letters are finished. But never sent.

Unsent, Ginza

A letter remains unsent as Akira walks on. A story about silence, memory, and the journeys we carry within.

Untold, Kamakura

Inspired by a quiet moment at Kamakura Station, this painting captures the stillness between arrival and departure. Some places remain with us long after we leave, carrying stories that are never told.

Somewhere in the Rain, Taipei

The rain had just stopped, leaving the streets quiet and shining, as the city moved on, but something inside never did, as if a part of me was left behind with the passing rain.

Akira at Dajia Station

A high-speed train rushes toward Taipei as lanterns drift across the evening sky above Dajia Station. Akira pauses on the platform, suspended in a fleeting moment between movement and stillness.

Akira, In Between Silence

A moment where a human being pauses between looking forward Akira pauses between forward and inner silence, barefoot on the shore, pointing toward a distant future. Behind him, Kettlr quietly watches, not the world, but Akira.

Kettlr Chihuahua and Akira: Between Tides

Between the echoes of the past and the pull of tomorrow, Akira and Kettlr remain quietly, suspended in a shared dream.

Akira at Tabi Café

A quiet place between destinations, where stillness holds something familiar. A gentle reminder that not every journey needs to be understood, some moments are simply meant to be felt.

Akira, Between Departures

A moment between journeys, where time slows and Akira pauses in the quiet of an empty desert. Inside the vessel, someone waits, holding space between movement, uncertainty, and possibility.
