”Thank you for everything, my friend.“ by @surfboy_handpoke

We never planned to publish a children’s book. We just wanted to give our son a story he could keep forever. 🥹❤️

Meet Foofie. Our real-life family dog, and now the star of our very first children’s book, Foofie Finds Home! 🐶📖

It all started at bedtime.

Every night, Michael would tell our son Fotis the story of how Foofie came into our lives. The details changed every night 🤣 but the heart of the story stayed the same.

Eventually, I started telling my own version too. Fotis loved it!

And then we thought… what if we turned his bedtime story into a real book?

Something he could treasure as he grows up, and maybe one day read to his own children. Even if we only printed one copy, that would have been enough. ❤️

But we needed someone special to bring it to life.

And this takes us back to South Korea in 2023. 🇰🇷

That’s when I discovered @surfboy_handpoke , a tattoo artist whose delicate, playful illustrations immediately stole my heart.

I’ve since travelled to Korea three times to get tattooed by him. And honestly, I’m not letting anyone else near my skin. 🤣

Fast forward to 2026. We were searching for an illustrator, but nobody felt quite right.

Until one day, Instagram did its thing. I saw a tattoo @surfboy_handpoke had posted and suddenly thought…

WHY DIDN’T I THINK OF HIM BEFORE?! 🤣

We reached out, shared our story, and he said YES!

Every illustration was drawn by hand, and we genuinely couldn’t imagine Foofie’s world looking any other way.

And because apparently having him illustrate our first book wasn’t enough, I got Foofie tattooed on my hand once we finished it. 🤣🐾

@surfboy_handpoke , thank you for turning our little bedtime story into something our family will treasure forever. ❤️

And now, what started as a story between a father and his son is ready to be shared with other families.

Foofie Finds Home is officially here! 🐶📖

Inspired by a true story. Illustrated by hand. Made with love.

And maybe one day, Fotis will read it to his own children.

That’s what makes this so special to us. 🥹❤️

Hand-poked, Cover-up.
“Doodling Meaning Over Old, Faded Ink“

손님의 손목엔 번지고 번져 형태를 알 수 없는 별과 고양이 그림이 있었다. 키우시는 고양이 2마리가 주제인 커버업.
우리의 목표는 단 둘!
‘커버업이라고 너무 진하고 어두워지지 않기!’
‘행복한 고양이 그림이기’

꽃밭에 숨어 사냥놀이를 하는 고양이 그림으로, 아름답게 해냈다…💦!
