Boonana is a ghost who loves to travel everywhere and anywhere with her favorite banana peel on top of her head. Even though she floats around, she always goes home with a souvenir and new memories at the end of the day.

BoonanaMilk, or Boonana for short, is an online alias that I've been going by since 2020. I randomly came up with this name by combining one of my favorite drinks, Korean banana milk, with the word "boo" to change it up.

Boonana the ghost is both my original character and my artist persona. I knew I always wanted to make a character and story based on my online alias ever since I came up with it, but I didn't make her first design until 2023. After that first design was made, I abandoned this project because of my studies. I had the opportunity to develop this project further in 2024, which finally allowed me to finish Boonana’s design and finalize her concept.

Through this little ghost and her adventures, I reflect my goals as an artist through her in some way. Similar to how she enjoys traveling to new places, I enjoy exploring new art concepts. Every illustration I make of Boonana challenges me to get out of my comfort zone and illustrate things I avoid or have always wanted to do. I post every illustration of Boonana on an Instagram dedicated to her, as if she’s running the account.
