Moments Worth Keeping: Why I'm Making Limited Edition Prints

My drawings begin as pencil sketches and are finished in digital color. Working this way, I have always asked myself one question:

"Can a drawing finished on a screen become something someone wants to keep for a long time, the way they keep fine art?"

For over ten years I have drawn so many illustrations, and I was lucky that social media carried them to people all over the world. But they were scrolled past, and forgotten, just as easily. Sometimes, when I see my older drawings sleeping far down the social media timeline, I feel sorry for them.

Then, at a few exhibitions, I offered some of them as limited edition prints, and seeing people take those drawings home gave me courage. So now I am beginning this properly. I want these drawings, sketched by hand and brought to life with digital color, to step out of the screen and stay in someone's home as a moment worth keeping. I choose them one by one, with care, and release them as limited editions.

Some of my work was once sold in a form anyone could buy at any time. But being able to buy something anytime ends up meaning "I don't need to buy it now." So now each edition is made only once, and when it closes, it is never printed again as an art print. You can still find these moments in my books, postcards, and cards.

Rather than a drawing that millions scroll past, I hope each one becomes the drawing that greets a few people on their wall every morning. When a drawing stays beside someone who truly feels it, it is no longer just an image. It becomes a memory that grows old together.

The first editions are now available in the Limited Edition collection.

With all my heart,
Puuung
