A little pocket of quiet and calm for your favorite book. 📚✨
Lately, I’ve been transforming my ZoOcean illustrations into glass bookmarks. There’s something so nostalgic about how the details look under the glass—like a tiny vintage specimen card.
The Nightingale Goldfish has my heart right now. The rich green background turns the glass ball into a little stage, putting a perfect spotlight on our singing friend. 🎶

Drop by my next maker’s market to see them in person, or catch the shop update on my Etsy。

Which creature is your favorite? 🧐👇

I’m in Old Town Tustin now!!!
Even there’s no sun coming out today,

Feel free to stop by and say hi.

[Sea Hummingbird]
As the sun touches the water, the Morning Glories bloom, and the Sea Hummingbird rises from the depths to greet them.

Tada~ I have a sad thing to share… 😭
I lost all my photos from this year.
I didn’t back them up to the cloud — I went old-school and saved everything on my SSD drive. Then I switched to a new phone and… puff! Gone. So many photos disappeared with it.
But on the bright side, I suddenly have a lot more storage space now ✨
Meanwhile, I’m still drawing new animals… and I’m about to draw my second butterfly 🦋
Cheers to ♾️ free space on my phone!

[Quail Goldfish]
There is truly no better feeling than hearing from you! I just received a lovely message from someone who found the Quail Goldfish all the way in New York. Knowing that my art has found a home and brings joy to others is exactly why I do what I do. 🩵🩵🩵
I’ve been busy preparing framed drawings, complete with their individual specimen tags and collector’s cards. My goal for the future is to include these tags with every print, so you can dive deeper into the stories of the ZoOcean inhabitants! I’m also working on getting all the species’ lore updated on my website slowly.
A huge thank you to for the opportunity to share my creatures with a wider audience.

[Sea Horse & Gladiolus]
Finished this piece right before the Art in the Park event. I took my time with it after getting back from Taiwan—there’s been a lot going on. But something kept calling to me… so I got out of bed and finished it.
After that, I felt at peace—and slept so well that night 😂
Have you ever had that feeling you just can’t ignore… until everything’s finally done?

I am slowly putting stamps on my prints….
Very slow…….
But working on it.

[Thank You]
Huge thank you to everyone who stopped by! ✨
There is nothing quite like getting to share my art in person. I loved to explain the concepts behind my ZoOcean creatures with you all—and, of course, revealing the “legal” reasons behind my “No Drunk Drawing” sign! 😂
A massive shoutout to for hosting such a fantastic event and bringing this artist community together. It was a joy to be part of it!

❓Which ZoOcean animal was your favorite from the booth? Let me know below! 👇

[Sea Hummingbird]
Thank you so much for loving it! 🩵
The Sea Hummingbird actually sold when I shared the photo of all my framed ZoOcean animal drawings that were heading to the library exhibit.
Since then, I’ve received several DMs asking about it — thank you all sooooo much 🩵🩵🩵 for loving my art. It truly means the world to me and makes me feel like I can keep creating.
I haven’t been drawing much lately because I’m currently in Taiwan, spending time with family and friends. I’ll be back at the end of March — right around the time the Temecula Library show wraps up as well!
