If witches existed and needed to quell their public image of ugly evil-doers, they need to get in touch with Patipat Asavasena. Who would consider female spell users as wicked and grotesque after looking through a vibrant gallery of cute witch imagery drawn and painted in an anime style?
The women in these Patipat Asavasena illustrations are often young, but seem rather adept at the dark arts. Asavasena has somehow made skulls, spell tomes and vials into chic fashion accessories for her witchy ladies despite their often morose associations.
Patipat Asavasena, who also illustrates under the name asuka111, is currently residing in Thailand and working as a digital artist. Funnily enough, Asavasena graduated with a degree in engineering, but decided to pursue her passion after being inspired by Japanese anime and manga.
