Artist Bio

Smudged

Born in California but living under two views of culture, I’ve faced myself to a wall that confronts me with the question: Where Are You From? In response, I encourage people to engage in a space that’s not quite Chinese or not quite American...

Thank you #animeimpulseoc2026 ! I realize I don’t post my booth too often so here’s the latest version! I tend to move panels around each time to showcase some things more and I really like seeing it evolve ☺️✨

Hope everyone gets home safe and stay cool from the heat!
Btw the last panel showcases a certain 4 people group that will be the next mini blanket set! (excluding pio, he’s in a different group)

Hope you look forward to what I’ll make next and ty again for stopping by!

Kagerou Day. Many years ago when I discovered the kagerou project, I was still a teen going through some tough days. These songs and the characters stories helped me get back on my feet and remember that life isn’t as bad as I imagine them to be. Now, listening to them many years later (especially summertime record) I can’t help feeling nostaglic for those hazy days and thinking, “wow i’ve grown now”.
Happy kagerou day and hoping to many more years to come!

Helloooo
It’s been two weeks since this has been uploaded but I finally have chill time to post now!
I contributed to two small animated parts to the scythekicks Daijoubu Mr. Blue Sky and it’s been so much fun seeing everything come to life from storyboard, the singing, and to the amazing artworks. Thank you for letting me be a part of this project ☺️💜

The last few videos are clips from the mv and a time stamped one which shows when I started drawing each part! I’ve improved a lot from last Sept to Jun so I’m happy to see the progress 🥺✨

ack i forgot link go check out mv here!

Redrew my doodle that I showed at m&g (๑꒪̇ㅅ꒪̇๑)
Wanted a more cool pose that match the vibe I felt during the live! Ty for singing again!

Edited: I forgot to add timelapse! This [last video slide] was how it looked at first but it was done very fast and sketchy so I wasn’t happy with it. Then once I got home, I completed redrew it for a more cool pose which I felt matched his idol vibe more. ☺️✨💙

Pt 2! Celebration afterparty with nuzzles.
I look forward to the concert! Also I tried adding a few easter eggs in both drawings while practicing bg/lighting! I spent around two months drawing both and I’m happy with how they turned out ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ I was also really into texture brushes at the time so I was experimenting a bit ahaha

Some Close-ups!
Here is a video of how the blankets can flip inside out and close-up of each side! I spent a while coming up with each design so I hope they fit well with everyone’s papes ☺️
Preorders are up on my shop until July 27!
Reminder that there is a limit on the preorders for now but I will add more in the future.

Thank you for the interest and orders so far!

📍 Gobcon | AIBAY Table 802 | Offkai A05 (Friday Only)

Merch Catalog! Woah it expanded since Jan… These next two weeks will be busy for me and the catalog will be slightly changing depending if my other merch arrives on time! However, I will be posting the new merch separately if they do! I will be attending Gobcon (Friday only), AIBAY table 802, and Offkai table A05 (Friday only).

Please note: Not everything shown here is the only thing I will have at my table! I also have stickers and merch from JJK, old school anime, genshin, and some originals. Lastly, I will not be bringing my full stock to gobcon such as the btb blankets or many charms as it is a smaller con.

Other than that, I do hope everyone will enjoy all the events happening very soon!
Thank you!

Not only did I make blankets for the pape, I also made some for hzbeats as well! I drew this in May thinking of how BTB would find stars that remind them of home ✧*｡
I’ve only made 10 total since my home is small and the blankets are around 4ft x 5ft! They are honestly very soft and kept me warm for a few chilly nights :0 Each one will come with a free postcard of the art too!

Will be debuting these at aibay and they will be in my shop later in sept along with the mini pape blankets ☺️

Thank you for the kind support on the them!
Fun fact: I borrowed ikea beds to photograph this 😆

They are hereeeee I worked on these in the beginning of june to match with my btb blanket (which i will be posting after this!)
Each mini pouch comes with a small mascot sleeping at the front which I reference they way my own cat sleeps on my belly at night. These can be flipped inside out with a different design on each side so you can either have the pape sleep with the mascot or have a cozy design! I personally am no designer so it took me a while to come up with these haha however, I am super excited to show these for aibay then at future cons!

Important to note: I do have to personally hand sew the opening close on each design so I will only have 10 of each for now. In other words, I will only bring 5 of each design on sat and sun for aibay to make it fair for those only attending one day. Then I will try to get another batch for aioc!

Hope you look forward to everything! Thank youuuu
