BANGKOK ↔ THE WORLDAN INDEPENDENT EDITORIAL GUIDE

ILLUSTRATION & VISUAL CULTURE

About

Original paper-textured illustration of Bangkok shophouses, pencils and a train
Original illustrative artwork; not an archival or documentary photograph.

Hello I am JK is an independent journal about illustration, editorial design and visual culture, written from Bangkok. It explains how commissions work, from magazine covers to festival characters, and shares practical advice for illustrators building a career.

Our approach

  • Practical: every case study ends with lessons you can use on your next project.
  • Honest: we write about deadlines, fees and contracts, not only about finished images.
  • Regional: we pay particular attention to illustration and design in Thailand and Southeast Asia.

Images and credits

We respect the work of artists. When we discuss specific published work, we credit the publication and the artist, and we do not reproduce images without permission.

Suggestions and corrections are welcome through the contact page.
