About

Bio:

Hi I’m Kim! Thank you for visiting my website! I was born and raised on Oahu, Hawaii, lived in Los Angeles for 22 years, moved to Seattle in 2018, and now reside in Helena Montana.

My love for drawing all began as a joke! I was the person in my group of friends that somehow managed to capture and record some of the most hilarious moments when a camera didn’t. I filled up a lot of sketch books during that period of time in my life. See the slideshows below for a window into my early adulthood. (I partied a lot, clearly lol).

Eventually, the cartoon clowning came to a halt, and my focus then tilted more in the direction of music. I sang in a band with my sisters which lead to all kinds of other musical opportunities, opportunities that are still coming my way till this day!!

In 2013, I needed a different artistic outlet and opened an Etsy shop after growing new inspiration to hand paint designs on baby onesies. (See Etsy Shop)

I have always had the dream to make a comic book, but never actually made the time…. until now! Keep checking in! I plan on posting some comics and little glimpses into the world I’m currently creating in comic book form!

Crackhouse

A college party moment… This was a photo image that turned into this drawing, which then became an acrylic painting that was displayed in that very bathroom lol. Oh the memories … lol.

Drinking Game

I’m just going to let this one speak for itself lol.

Edgar

My dear friend Edgar. He should be a professional comedian. So funny.

Hello My Baby, Hello My Honaay!

My friend, Hera (aka Hairball) makes this facial expression that kind of resembles the alien at the end of the movie, “Spaceballs.” I feel like I have improved in drawing that facial expression lol. One day I’ll do a side by side of then and now so we can compare.

Poi Dogs (sister band)

This was such a fun time. This drawing summarized our very first bar gig. EPIC!!

Crackhead Willay 1

Crackhead Willay is a cartoon character I created inspired by a bum that punched me in the face while crossing the street. Man, I miss LA lol.

Crackhead Willay 2

Crackhead Willay was so angry! Damn lol.

Crackhouse Party

I shared my first apartment in LA with my sisters, and in the span of 14 years, we threw a lot of parties… Our apartment became known as “The Crackhouse” because a lot of friends would end up crashing the night and would have to tip toe around bodies to get to the bathroom in the morning. Oh the good ole college days lol.

Turtle and Malcolm the Merfish

As if turtles eat chicken LOL!! I can’t even remember where I got the idea to turn Malcolm into a fish… lol. I think it had to do with his thick Pidgin accent that translated like “moong moong moong moong.” How are these people still my friends? LOL

Peanut

I used to call my sister’s husband at the time, “Peanut.” It was a joke from childhood which inspired the cartoon character. Sean was a walking clown fest lol. This guy was professional at the ash’ talking!! So I had a major advantage with my comics hehe. (Oh also, my friend Yoji is actually the person who designed this Peanut cartoon LOL! I just took his sketch and turned it into this)

WerePigs 1

Flowerboy was a character inspired by my cousin. He hated me when I turned him into Flowerboy, but he was seriously one of my favorite characters. He’s one of my favorite people!! Love you Cuz!!

WerePigs 2

Flowerboy was so much fun to eat food with. We literally turned into pigs when we hung out together lol. Love you Cuz!

Katonk Man's Super Secret 2

i can’t even go there with how this comic came about. All I can say is it’s based on a true story, the identities of the actual persons involved will remain unmentioned to protect their privacy LOL.

Security Drama 1

This is another comic based on a true story… Except in the real story, the person was rejected at the door and had to go home (booooo).

Security Drama 2

This is another comic based on a true story… Except in the real story, the person was rejected at the door and had to go home (booooo).
