Hiya~ I’m Sami, I’m a self-taught artist based in Thailand.

I’ve been doing digital art since 2011, and through the years my art has went through many stages of styles; doing realistic, chasing trends, or make anything that people will like. But I always find myself landing right back at the same spot, which is: clean lines, bright colors, and slapping a lot of stuff into it, haha.
