A sketch based on memory and photo reference of my visit to FTM Bar 2s Cabin in Tokyo. I wanted to go out of my way to visit different LGBTQIA+ bars while I was out traveling, and I found it super touching and affirming. The bartenders and patrons were always so nice to meet. Apologies for the wonky scale! The bartenders are larger than life in my mind haha.
Small sketches drawn between Osaka and Koyasan.

Travel sketches from my trip to Asia this winter! I got to travel Taiwan, Thailand and Singapore, although sadly I only really had time to draw in Singapore. Drawings here depict Chihkan Tower in Tainan, Haw Par Villa, homes and playgrounds in Tanjong Pagar, Gardens by the Bay and the Asian Civilizations Museum in Singapore.

A collection of marker sketches from the past week, used to test some different ink and paper. I bought a new pack of 24(!!!) Ikea markers which comes with less fluorescent colors. I also tested some old Prismacolors out but I think alcohol based smell is too strong and bleeds too much for my taste. Lastly, I tried the Ikea markers on a Muji sketchbook but I think the paper was a bit too thin to handle it : (
