NOTE: I'm not sure how the new US tariffs will affect shipping and costs to the US, so I'm going to have to temporarily disable US shipping until things are clearer. Apologies to my US customers! Hope to resume shipping to you again soon.

I'm an artist and designer inspired by colour, texture and all the beauty that surrounds us, especially in those little mundane things we see every day. I try to bring that to my art, with interesting compositions in stationery, wall art and prints that I think would make a great addition to anyone's interior design style. Also, I love Japanese stationery and want to share that joy with others <3
Thanks for checking out my shop! :)

Lots of different styles and colors. Not sure about the more cartoonish ones, but I’ll figure out something.

I love it! I recently went to Japan and the Godzilla in Shinjuku was one of my favorite parts so I wanted something to commemorate it. Thank you so much! It's perfect!

Inspiration Comes From Everywhere

I try to look for the beauty in everything -- in the gritty texture of weathered concrete and the range of colours in rusted panels, in the layers of chipped enamel paint on old signs and structures, and in the waves of drips and spray in street art. I try to bring those beautiful colours, layers and textures into my work with paper, ink and paint.
