Approaching the end of 2025 feels unsettling. Instead of reflecting on the year or planning for 2026, I find myself thinking about what survival would look like if war were to break out.

I got to illustrate dance sequences for one of my client projects, and ever since, I’ve been wanting to explore it in my personal work. Today, I finally did. #illustration

A full long day, hurting wrist and back, finally i am done with this one. #illustration

So… I was supposed to take my N1-level JLPT test today. But thanks to the typhoon, it got cancelled, which feels like a blessing in disguise, since I felt really unprepared and had been stressed about it all month. Thanks universe.

I tried making a few pages of comics, not many, just four to be exact. But even in those few pages, there were moments that made me feel like I could actually be good at this. And I desperately want to be. It's a feeling I never once had when working a corporate job.

Logically, you know likes on social media aren’t everything. There are so many random factors involved. But when there’s no clear way to tell if your art is “good,” it’s easy to start paying too much attention to the numbers.

KPop Demon Hunters comes out tomorrow on Netflix! I worked as a visdev artist on this film back in 2023 and it was a blast. Get ready for some high-energy fun with a killer soundtrack! Hope everyone enjoys the movie!!

Tried something new with panels, and it turned into a pretty tasty ramen story. #illustration #comics

I think, subconsciously, I’ve always loved comics as a storytelling form.

Got a rejection letter this morning. It was for an illustrator open call I applied to about a month ago. Cold emailing was part of the process. I’m usually pretty okay with rejection, but after a slow, quiet month, this one stung a little more than usual.

I didn’t expect to get this attached to these two. Three little comics in, and I’m already thinking, maybe their story deserves a zine?

I like writing, but for some reason, the idea of sharing my thoughts is terrifying. I’m scared of being judged for my opinions.

An art style is deeply personal, not a template anyone can just borrow. Yes, we all start by learning from artists we admire. But there’s a line between taking inspiration and copying, and it still gets crossed far too often.

Caught up with a close friend the other day. She told me one of our mutual friends had asked how I was doing, and she proudly shared how she stood up for me, justifying my decision to become an artist.

This morning, I woke up and decided that drawing a silly comic about two kissing cherries was an excellent idea.🍒✨

Had to draw a high school girl band after watching Linda! Linda! Linda! I’ve been playing with colors a lot—definitely different from what I used to do. Feels like I’m in my color era now. #illustration

For some reason, it also looks kind of cute without the linework. 🤭

I’m super excited to share that I have a diary comic workshop coming up in partnership with Lichen, a design studio and furniture store in Ridgewood, Queens on Feb 9th! If this is something you might be interested in and you’re able to make it out to Ridgewood, I’d love to see you! 🩵

First post on Bluesky—feeling a bit overwhelming. Haha🙃 Hi, I’m Wen-Hsiu! I’m an illustrator and animator based in Taiwan. My work draws inspiration from everyday life, weaving personal experiences with a gentle touch. Here’s an illustration I made today that I’m pretty happy with!
