I have always considered myself a weird kid as my trail of thinking often didn’t conform to the norm. I would often daydream, and had no idea who I really was or what I was capable of. A hobby I loved and managed to keep ever since I could remember was origami. There is a sense of magic everytime I pick up a piece of paper and gradually fold it into a piece of artwork. Later I discovered that I could get a similar feeling with drawing. That is, after I met my wife Beebee. She literally introduced me to the world of creativity that I never knew I had and wanted. Now not only have I continued with origami, but also drawing, computer graphics, anime, wallpapers and more. I am grateful to her for all that I have, and hope to share them through this website that we built together. I believe that we are all born artists and it is only a matter of discovering that inner gift inside us. I believe that our child-like nature is the key to our creativity. And I enjoy sharing, because I believe in the idea that we are all connected.

The earliest artwork I have was when I was 5. It was of a stick house with the writing “I love Mum & Dad” (in Thai, because I’m Thai). I started scribbling after reading Doraemon, a wonderfully creative children’s manga. But I really started to enjoy drawing after reading City Hunter manga in 1985. Out of all the manga I was reading at that time, Hojo-sensei’s work was the most realistic, yet also elegantly stylised… and sexy! I spent the next few years learning to draw in his style, so I owe him my artistic foundation. I branched out into all sorts of other styles later on, picking up ideas whenever I see something I like. Now I’m developing my own style.

I enjoy the company of many friends online, and live half my waking life ‘virtually’. It’s fun! I have learned and gained a lot of things from the people on the web, so I try to give back whatever and whenever I can. “Spread the goodwill” is my motto, and “kaze makase” (leave it to the wind) is how I’d like to live life.
