Airi

Aeris The concept is a “breath of air”. A feeling of breeze, a fresh start, and soft light that kisses hair. Since the beginning of this year, the color blue 💙🦋🐟🔵🔷 has really been speaking to me. It’s an azure season Aeris. That will be the title of my newest artbook, and name for this piece, which is made specifically for it I’ve been working with @gallerynucleus and Patrick from @peowstudio to make a brand new artbook that would be a collection of all of my best pieces 2019-2023 and 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 I promise you we have been COOKING 🍳 whether it’s a book someone purchases for content, or to look gorgeous just standing on a coffee table, we’ll make sure it can do both 🫡 It needs one more month in the oven, but it should be ready by August!! Cannot wait to share more then ☺️💙 #digitalillustration #animeart #originalcharacter #kemonomimi #artprocess

📍Sketch, London Europe part 3! So I’ve seen these viral tiktok egg toilets all the time and now, I’ve finally seen them with my own two eyes, even the workers who dress up as French maids to clean them..... I can’t believe it’s real- what isn’t pictured in the video is the fact that there are SO many other restaurant spaces within this one venue. We were in “The Gallery” but there’s also “The Glade” “The Parlour” and “The Lecture Room” so when we showed up to our reservation and they asked “where are you” I was like??????!!!!11??/1/1/?? #sketchvlog #travelsketch #travellondon #sketchrestaurant #sketchbooktour #sketchbookinspiration

📍Lanesborough, London In a second life, I must be a scone pastry chef perfecting the art of making just a singular scone because I love scones with clotted cream and jam to death. America needs more clotted cream. I can’t find it ANYWHERE 🥲 Also I know what you’re thinking: did the Bridgerton tea experience feel like.. Bridgerton? Honestly not really but I don’t mind that haha- the desserts were really just named after some of the characters and the tea is Lady Whistledown’s tea London adventures continuing!! I really peppered the page with sooo many stickers at the end to really finish the spread out, I have lots of flower stickers and this really seemed like the place to go ham. Otherwise… what use do my stickers even do!!??! 🤧🤧🤧 #sketchvlog #sketchbooktour #sketchbookinspo #bridgerton #afternoontealondon #lanesborough

I checked the weather beforehand and it said high was gonna be in the 70s then I landed and it basically did a 180 and became highs in the 50-60s and I looked at my wardrobe and I’m feeling 🤡🤡🤡 But hEY that is the classic London experience I got exactly what I was looking for. Only a shame it was completely foggy during the restaurant. If you go though, it’s genuinely gorgeous + delicious, place is called 📍Duck and Waffle #sketchvlog #sketchbookinspo #sketchbooktour #travellondon #duckandwaffle #travelsketch

I think my first ever Vocaloid song was Suki Daisuki by Rin and once I discovered the Servant of Evil series, there was no saving my 10 year old self 🙂‍↕️ I wonder how people get into Vocaloid these days?? Is Servant of Evil or Magnet or Romeo and Cinderella considered a fossil now? I consider myself pretty up to date with the biggest songs but I’ll admit I hadn’t heard a few songs at the concert REGARDLESS I still had an absolute blast!!! I consider this concert my training for the eventual Magical Mirari in Japan I’ll fly to 🫶🏻👊🏻🫰🏻✨ #sketchbook #sketchvlog #sketchbookinspo #hatsunemiku #vocaloid #mikuexpo2024

🥗🍖🥩🍽️🔥🍳🥘 —— YAAAAY IT’S BEEN A LONG TIME COMING TO DRAW DUNMESHIII!! I started sketching this around the time episode 1-3 came out and literally each week I had to completely change the sketch because I realized there was a better dish to put into the picture until eventually by the time we got to the Red Dragon steak I was like- ok- we gotta stop here 😤 This is both a print, and will be the cover for @dunmeshizine a cookbook zine we’ve been working on since beginning of the year and 🥺🥺🥺 the world is not ready for it it’s going to be so good Seeing so many people absolutely love the anime makes me so so happy 🥹 or maybe it’s still obscure and my algorithm just only shows me Dunmeshi 24/7 IDK—- anyways I will be tabling at Fanime!! This year and I cannot wait to buy so much Dunmeshi merch 🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻 #dunmeshi #dungeonmeshi #marcille #laios #senshi #animefanart

Happy to say I just finished my first week on @arcaneshow at @riotgames >:3 !! Earlier in January, the game that I was working on at Blizzard got canceled sadly, and a majority of our team got laid off. Even though I stayed, it was heart wrenching to see so many people go, and the bitter feeling of knowing so much amazing work we all did, may never see the light of day. Not a rare occurrence in our field, but still so sad when it does happen… So, I decided to take some time away from the industry to catch up on health. Months later, now, when I log into social media, I am so delighted to see more and more of my talented previous team mates announce their new positions each day. It feels like a new leaf is finally turning, and I am so happy to get to join them ☺️ Also photo creds to @chenalii hehe

Move over charcuterie boards, for the banchAN FEAST The first time I ever went to KBBQ, when I was in middle school, the servers gave us all of the banchan in small little plates and I thought that was the entire meal becAUSE THERE’S SOOO MUCH!! And what was my role during all of this? Great question- my beautiful friends, whose entire idea this was in the first place, took care of everything while I was recovering 🥹 I am eternally grateful 감사합니다!!!! 🙇🏻‍♀️ #sketchvlog #banchan #sketchbookinspiration #highlighters #friendgathering #partyideas

Hiyooo to all my SoCal - LA pals! @we_are_brainstorm_school is hosting an ✨art weekend✨ and I’ll be doing a chill lil’ workshop from 4 - 6 basically! Obviously within 1.5 hours I don’t think I will be able to unlock the gates to Art Heaven’s Greatest Secrets but you don’t need Art Heaven Secrets to A) learn something new and helpful and B) have a damn good time 😎 so if you’re coming along, just get ready to draw along!! I’ve been wanting to do something in person for such a long time now; I waited until now to announce it because I wanted to make sure I could physically draw by this time haha 😂 but I am confident I will be able to :3 I haven’t done any events at all since Lightbox, so this feels like the perfect tiny little step back into workshop + events ^q^)9 I’ll try and bring some of my favorite candiessss~!! Bonus points if we can trade snacks!!!! #artworkshop #brainstormschool #conceptart #characterdesign

You’re a lucky girl!!! i can DRAW AGAIN!!! First thing I was able to draw after my recent surgery 😌🙌🏻 It’s taking me some time to get back to drawing full swing, and I’ve been listening to Illit’s new album literally nonstop. Annnnd one of their songs is “Lucky Girl Syndrome” and I’ve listened to it enough that it definitely has made my YouTube Music Recap this year (the equivalent of Spotify Wrapped I DONT USE SPOTIFY OKKK-) PLUS the MV for that song dropped TODAY 🍀🙌🏻 thank u universe Recovery was rough in the first week but I am feeling 70% back to normal now- just 30% left to go 🫡💪🏻 #animeillustration #luckygirlsyndrome #illit
