I grew up from a superstitious family. My mother often put me to bed with ghost stories, especially the legend of my great grandfather who was a heroic shaman. This is possibly the reason why I often have strange dreams. They inspire me to draw ghostly portraits of boys and young men, who are lost between myths and memories, dreams and reality.
As a boy, I was a volunteered librarian, and since then I have developed my love for story telling, old books and geeky glasses. After I graduated an MA from Central Saint Martins, I was fortunate enough to work with amazing people at the V&A museum, Universal music, and Granta Publishing.
I spend my days painting, listening to old vinyls on the record player, teaching illustration workshops, and write for various people such as Thailand creative & Design center, Thaismile magazine, startdrawing.orgartwork
