Yeye is an illustrator who depicts the countless emotions that are hard to put into words, as well as the special, happy everyday moments, that come from living with his dog Moonge. Through his drawings, he records their deep bond and introduces Moonge, a hero-like presence in his life, in a series of adorable art posters filled with memories.

“May my paintings become fragrance and a gentle breeze, and furry friends that accompany many people in spirit. May they also serve to remind someone of that precious presence.” —Yeye

Inspired by her family’s Bichon Frise, Moonge, she depicts the soft, adorable dog’s daily life through picture books, comics, and oil paintings.

Authentic, without anthropomorphism—YEYE emphasizes that Moonge is neither humanized nor treated as a mascot. Instead, loose, scribbled strokes faithfully convey the animal’s personality and movements.

A multimedia approach—from sketches and comics to acrylic and oil painting, freely choosing different media to capture the texture of Moonge’s fur and its presence.

Deeply comforting—the visual style is simple and uncontrived, yet emotionally warm and approachable, like a vignette of everyday life. It is especially loved by pet owners and those drawn to heartwarming art.
