Chinatown signage, pencils, shops, fruits, spices. If it catches her eye, Nene is quick to jot it down in her sketchbook. The Thai artist is constantly taking in the world around her, making time to find the beauty in everyday objects. Whether she’s redrawing Japanese snack packaging, or recreating beloved menus on airline vomit bags, she combines humor, relatability, and a unique eye with quirky ballpoint ink drawings.

The vast majority of Nene’s work is hand drawn, but she often scans them and makes risograph prints “I love how the overlaying of color creates an unexpected color,” she says. “Even if you test it out digitally before printing, the final result won’t be the same. It’s a surprise!” She frequently works with Bangkok’s Witti Studio, which is run by her former professors.

Nene, otherwise known as Nanthawan Jamsai, has been working in this style for several years now, combining previous sketching experiments with an interest in typography and graphic design to create her text-heavy, off-kilter style. It’s mainly black and white with bursts of color, and train-of-thought texts culled from Wikipedia for the sake of texture. Often that writing is in Japanese and Chinese, although she just appreciates their visual power and doesn’t understand either language. She’s also a fan of their food, as you might have guessed from a quick glance at her drawings.

“I always stay in the present and pay attention to whatever’s in front of me,” says Nene. Her interests may flitter between many things quickly, but she wants to capture and hold onto those she adores, especially the stuff most others would overlook: “I believe we should take the time to appreciate these everyday objects that have been in our lives for decades or longer. They’ve withstood the test of time.” She also collects many of these objects and draws on them as an excuse to keep them around.
