Sawasdee-krap, I am shun-sketching.

Around last autumn, while sketching from a photo of Thailand—where I used to live—
a specific memory came flooding back, and I incorporated it into the drawing.
That moment marked the beginning of this project.

It fully satisfied my sense of nostalgia and helped solidify those beautiful memories.

Since then, I have focused my sketching on travels, nostalgic photographs,
and anything else that stirs that feeling of nostalgia within me, creating art
guided by the memories and inspiration that arise during the process.

Swimming Pool

The moment I drew the butterfly I hadn't been able to capture in a photograph, that beautiful memory transformed into something tangible.

Quiet Beach

This space, which I couldn't capture in a photo, is my favorite quiet beach in Thailand.

Nekomichi

For a plant lover like me, Thailand is paradise. This is a scene I stumbled upon after being drawn in by a cat.

morning shine at Huahin

The memory of the sea’s extraordinary sparkle in the early morning and the white horse walking through it is a breathtakingly beautiful one.

A scene at the sea

I captured a memory from a time I was gazing out at the sea, watching a motorcycle and a jet ski racing along at the same speed.

A Scene at the road

This plant was so powerful and striking that I could hardly believe it was the same species as the one I had seen in Japan.

The Yellow Shop

For some reason, the storefront really stirs up a desire in me to draw it.

To the Island

This is the artwork I created for a friend's song that evokes the feeling of a refreshing summer.

Mrs. Tropical

I created the "Mrs. Tropical" illustration, drawing inspiration from the sea reflected in the sunglasses.

Tropical Spa YU-RAKU

The atmosphere of the *kenko land* (health spa) I saw in my childhood had a comical, tropical-island vibe.
I created this illustration with that kind of place in mind.
