Cloth framed (white frame)
Inspired by her home bears — named Moonge () — she portrays the soft puppy's daily life through picture books, comics and oil paintings
Authenticity is not anthropomorphic - YEYE emphasizes that Moonge is not anthropomorphized or used as a mascot, but rather presents his personality and dynamics with casual, scribbled brushstrokes.
Multimedia expression techniques - from sketches and comics to propylene and oil paintings, free to choose different media to capture Moonge's hair texture and aura.
Strong sense of healing - The image style is simple and unintentional, but the emotion is warm, the picture is friendly, like a daily sketch, especially loved by pet lovers and those who are interested in warm art.
Yeye is an illustrator whose work captures the countless emotions that are difficult to put into words, along with the special, happy everyday moments of living with Moonge. Through drawing, the artist records this deep bond and introduces the beloved, hero-like dog through a series of adorable art posters filled with memories.
May my paintings become a fragrance and a breeze—furry friends accompanying many people's hearts. May they also serve as a reminder of someone precious.
— Yeye
