About

Original illustration by OCMay. Two genderless figures with rainbow hair forming a heart, making a love gesture, surrounded by ocean waves, a whale, and two albatross with a peace flag.

May (OCMay) is an illustrator from Malaysia.

As an introvert, she channels her quiet observations and inner world into her artwork, which is deeply personal yet socially resonant. Her creations blend imagination with warmth, aiming to spark empathy, peace, connection, and a sense of belonging. Through her art, May hopes to gently awaken hearts and minds, bit by bit, toward a more loving and beautiful world.

OCMay 是一位來自馬來西亞的插畫家。
身為內向者，她將細膩的觀察與內心世界傾注於創作之中，作品既個人化又帶有社會共鳴。她的藝術融合想像與溫度，旨在喚起人們的同理心、平和、連結與歸屬感。透過畫筆，May 希望能一點一滴地溫柔喚醒人們的心靈，走向更有愛與更美好的世界。
