Doodling things that shouldn’t exist.
popodoodle, a self-taught Japanese-American illustrator and aspiring manga artist whose work blends grotesque imagery, dark humor, and playful absurdity, often exploring themes of life, death, and transformation.
Bokémon
An ongoing series reimagining the original 151 Pokémon through my own grotesque and unconventional style. What began as an homage to the creatures I grew up with has evolved into an exploration of distortion, mutation, and the playful absurdity of familiar characters transformed beyond recognition. With over 130 illustrations completed, the project continues to grow.
Metamorphosis
A series of 50 illustrations exploring transformation and impermanence. What began as a simple tadpole gradually evolved into increasingly surreal and cosmic forms, depicting a single cycle of life through imagination and metamorphosis.
