Ang­ie Nguyen cre­ates dream­like images of cats, boba tea, and video games. The del­i­cate illus­tra­tions are dig­i­tal­ly drawn in a lim­it­ed col­or palette and fea­ture the likes of felines try­ing to get a high score in a fishy arcade, or in a role rever­sal, are the prize in a tricky claw machine. If you’re of a cer­tain age (like me), you’ll appre­ci­ate the nos­tal­gia inher­ent in Ang­ies’ work. I spy an N64 in one of her pieces!

Fol­low Ang­ie on Insta­gram for her lat­est work, and don’t skip on read­ing the cap­tions. They offer great insight into the mean­ings behind her work, which are often based on mem­o­ries and dreams from her youth. You can buy a selec­tion of these dream­like illus­tra­tions as prints in her Etsy shop.
