'Love us like you love our food.' I saw this quote from an article on @refinery29uk I read yesterday, and it really hit home. (full version 👉) I'm not great at articulating my feelings at the moment, so drawing has helped offload a little bit. I also feel that my personal experience doesn't need spotlighting right now, so I'm going to continue sharing stories, articles and resources that really need to be read in my insta stories. ❤️ Please know though that if you are also mixed Asian/other, and you've experienced racial transgressions big or small, that your experiences are valid and important. ❤️ . Also quick note: I've chosen to represent Thai food because I am Thai, but this carries across all ESEA ❤️ . . . . . . #stopasianhate #stopasianhatecrime #hateisavirus #asianyouth #bothnothalf #illustration #illustrator #art #artist #illustratoroninstagram #artistoninstagram #digitalillustration #drawing #digitalart #asian #thailand #esea #thaifood https://www.instagram.com/p/CM0Om_zDV3V/?utm_medium=tumblr

"If a year was tucked inside of a clock, then Autumn would be magic hour" ✨ Spent a bit of time tweaking the colours in this piece from 2020 as it didn't really look right. I think I'm okay with it now 🍁 . . . . . . #illustration #illustrator #art #artist #illustratoroninstagram #artistoninstagram #kawaii #cute #japan #japanese #fushimiinari #shinto #shrine #sketch #digitalillustration #drawing #doodle #aesthetic #digitalart #aestheticjapan #autumnJapan #autumn #fall #manga #mangagirl #kyoto #japaneseculture #lifeinjapan #autumnaesthetic https://www.instagram.com/p/CTDL-pJDiea/?utm_medium=tumblr

Name the Ghibli film? 🌸🥰 One of my favourites, and so beautiful! I haven't posted for a little while as I took a small break from drawing but to be honest I think I felt worse for it lol. So I'm back with a #ghibliredraw for what I'm thinking is going to be #fanartfeb 🌸 Just to ease back into the process 😊 . . . . . #ghibliart #ghiblifanart #illustration #illustrator #studioghibliart #drawing #art #artist #digitalartist #digitalillustration #digitalart #anime #manga #Japan #Japanese #aesthetic #aestheticjapan #spiritedaway #fanart #sketch #illustratorsoninstagram #illustrationartists #artwork #artistoninstagram #ａｅｓｔｈｅｔｉｃ https://www.instagram.com/p/CZfaT9zKTph/?utm_medium=tumblr

🌸 HANAMACHI | Memories of Sakura 🌸 This Enamel Pin Collection is now LIVE on Kickstarter! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/thisiskayleigh/hanamachi-memories-of-sakura-enamel-pin-collection A Hanamachi (flower town) refers to a neighbourhood where Maiko and Geiko (Geisha) live and work in Japan. This enamel pin collection is inspired by the beautiful Hanamachi of Japan during a warm and beautiful sakura season. Each enamel pin reflects an item, moment or memory from my time in Kyoto, as well as a few from Tokyo and Mt Fuji respectively. From the lanterns nestled amongst the cherry blossom trees, the sweet mochi treats that can be picked up along Gion, to the ema tablets that can be seen at shrines and temples - and more. Whether you've visited Japan before or are ready to visit one day, I hope you enjoy the little moments that I've tried to capture in each enamel pin design. Thank you for viewing :)  ALSO! Every backer gets an exclusive sticker, and there’s plenty of add-ons too! xxx
