Mr. Kreme is a Thai / Hong Kong artist who is passionate about the style of vibrant colors of found objects in the mid 80s and the early 90s. He’s known for street art, art toy design, and painting. He finds inspirations from objects that are personal to him which leads to a nostalgic feel. His cherished childhood visions are emulated and retold in his work, much like a storybook. Scenes from the artist’s nocturnal story, some pleasant dreams, others nightmares, but the entire composition is full of awareness and open for all to explore.

The main character design of his art evolves around a family of furry monsters with vibrant colors and unique personalities. His art is often recognized as pop surrealism. He graduated from Pratt Institute with a Masters in Industrial Design.

“The charisma and allure of bedtime stories is that because adults have a lifetime of experiences, they will understand them more deeply than young children. A young child who reads them is sure to have an unbounded imagination that adults might not comprehend.

Many if not countless bedtime stories will include written words to guide the reader through the story. The visuals are purely illustrative in nature. This implies that written words determine the story, rather than with the aide of visuals. However, I feel that the written plot should not be used to constrain the visual comprehension of the stories. Similar to a child’s free imagination, the visuals will be able to open up our visions to new perceptions of the same stories”.
