I’m Punchalee or artist name pun-cha-lee, an artist based in Bangkok Thailand.

I began my creative journey as a character designer before moving into illustration, especially artwork, inspired by children and the joy of everyday life.

I work across digital art, acrylic on canvas, colored pencils and watercolor.
Through bright colors and a playful, childlike perspective.
I create art that celebrates love, hope and imagination.
My wish is to make people smile and offer a small moment of warmth and comfort through my work.

Chaotic but Fine

Illustration for Chaotic but fine, a heartwarming book published by Combang publishing. Set in a busy veterinary clinic. The story captures the lovable chaos of caring for animals and the people who love them. This mockup was created for display at the Seoul international book fair.

The Softest Place to Be

This illustration portrays an angel embracing a cat while listening to music, creating a quiet moment of comfort and stillness. Rather than seeking happiness in extraordinary experiences, it reflects the gentle peace that can be found in simply being present with what we love. Music becomes a soft refuge, while the cat represents companionship, trust and unconditional affection. Together, they create a space where the outside world fades away, reminding us that even in the midst of a busy life, moments of calm and love can become a place we call home.

I wish my hug could reach you.

Inspired by the fearless imagination of childhood, the illustration reflects those moments when a towel becomes a cape, a cardboard box becomes a castle, and every step feels like a step towards something extraordinary. It speaks to the freedom of dreaming boldly long before the world tells us what we can or cannot become.

Riding on a Dream

Floating across the water on a toy rocking horse, Poppy and Blue journey through a dreamlike landscape illuminated by blossoms of pink and golden light. The illustration explores how childhood has a way of reshaping reality, turning familiar places into extraordinary worlds where wonder feels limitless and every small experience can become the beginning of a new adventure.
