POPODOODLE

I am a self-taught Japanese-American illustrator and aspiring manga artist shaped by growing up between Japanese and American cultures. Living in that in-between space influenced how I view impermanence, identity, and transformation. My work often centers on cycles of life and rebirth, approached through symbolism and unconventional composition rather than traditional narrative structure. Through my original project Psychopomp and the fan art series Bokemon, I explore how illustration can carry philosophical ideas while remaining accessible and playful.
