From Gaming Violence to Plant-Filled Art: One Artist's Creative Shift

An artist who began drawing at just ten years old has turned a love for plants into a growing creative business. During the pandemic, they found solace in greenery and started sharing that calm through stickers, stationery, and now a subscription-based art letter club. The artist initially worked in animation for the gaming industry. There, they often had to create violent and explicit scenes. But their personal work took a different direction—softer, with lots of green and blue, accented by pink and yellow.

When U.S. tariffs made some products harder to sell, they adapted. They launched an art letter club, charging eight Singapore dollars (around €5.36) for local subscribers and more for international shipping. The club now has roughly 80 members. Their main character, Layla, is an exhausted office worker who finds peace among plants. This theme reflects the artist’s own journey, blending work stress with nature’s quiet comfort.

The subscription model has given the artist a steady way to share their work. With around 80 subscribers, their art letter club continues to grow. Meanwhile, their dream remains in animation—though now with a gentler, plant-filled touch.
