Hello! I'm Bonnie, artist alias: ShiYue, meaning October in Chinese (The month I was born in!).
I enjoy creating illustrations with cultural and mythological themes to further explore my heritage and others. I also love designing character clothing with an understanding through research how people from a specific culture would usually dress.

Silent narrative calendar
A calendar I created and sold for the year 2022 which portrays a silent narrative through the months. A man travels through magical sceneries and begins to take on physical transformations himself as he eventually turns into a full bodied dragon and returns to the city.

The Immortals Journal
Mayari, Hana and Tala are Philippine Goddesses of the moon, dawn and stars. The Iele are mythical female creatures in Romanian mythology. Sun WuKong and Hu LiJing are well known characters of Chinese mythology. They were part of a project where I created an immortal character who travelled the world with a journal, noting and sketching down all the mythical beings he came across from different countries throughout the centuries.
