"Substance of Void" T-shirt

"substance of Void" one of my oldest design and a painting that was exhibited last year. This is my first print on the t-shirt with burned-out fabric provided by my factory in Thailand.

What I love about printing this shirt is the play of the 2 colors. Some of my designs have multiple colors for the look, but the colors of this shirt really add to the meanings of the art itself.

off-registration actually gives each shirt its personality. positioning of the shirt, the silkscreen, the press all plays into parts in dictating the fate of where the colors land.



A simple person living in a complicated world; and a complicated person living in a simple world.

which one are you?

Diva Deconstructed




Typographic pattern









The tree of Fishes


flipping through my sketch book is a lot like a therapy session. Pieces of motifs start to mean something, these animals and characters all begin to tell their stories.

These fishes came into my mind. They might already have resided somewhere in my memories. I might have seem them years ago, in the morning market of Taiwan, or at the aquarium next to my father's house in Bangkok.

As each of our stories progress, the meanings of these characters also manifested. I'm revisiting an old friend, but at the same time just getting to know him.




broken bird




one of the many doodlings I did when I was bored.

Broc said why all my animals look like they were injured.

I would say they're just unique.

Man







One of my older sketches



I've always had a fear of cable wires. The wires behind my TV, computers, phones, speakers, internet modems... they all just tangled up behind the desk in disarray. They always find ways to tie themselves into a million more knots.

Am I so terrified by this chaos, or simply am afraid of the modern technology that they signify?

Portrait of a Revelation

















as the surface slowly peels away, I'm forced to see if there is anything worth saving underneath.

If I can only see myself through your eyes. Am I only a clown. Without these makeup, Will I feel safe without the tricks and jokes?

Ou & Tu

The robotic birds of Romeo and Juliet? Oops I meant the Romeo and Juliet of the Robotic birds.

The Perfect Being is the Product of An Accident.



The first of my typographic t-shirt designs. I'd like to think of the type as just a decorative element, after all, who reads anyway?

Birds



Can somebody help with naming these creatures, which one of them are you?

The stories of our lives collide.

Maybe these stories have different meanings, different measure of time, and as they are woven in and out of each other, were there ceremonies marking the precise beginnings and the ends of each chapters?
