About

My name is Floon and I'm an Asian-American artist and web developer based in Southern California, USA. I began drawing digitally at an early age, inspired by video games and anime.Flareboost Shop is my small business that I started at age 17 and have continued to this day, making original fandom-inspired merchandise and selling them at in-person events as well as online.I was previously active in the League of Legends community (my summoner name is still on the wall at Riot Games!) and the local anime convention scene. I'm currently into Final Fantasy XIV, but some of my all-time favorite video game series include Pokemon and Yokai Watch!

Artwork

My work has been featured in video game community spotlights, anime convention marketing, fan zines, and more.

Puni Tools

Puni Tools is the hub for the projects I've made and guides I've written for FFXIV.Puni Marker and Puni Mapper are applications I developed solo using tailwindcss and vuejs. Puni Marker as well as Puni Tools is built with vite, and Puni Mapper is built with nuxt.

Crafts

One of my hobbies is making jewelry with resin and clay. I enjoy making colorful pieces with themes inspired by anime.

Other Stuff

I went on a nostalgia trip and found files from 2001-2005 and put them up on this website.

In 2018, I participated in a community collaboration for League of Legends.

Artist Alley & Merch Making

Artist alley trends have grown throughout the years. We're no longer just selling paper products; we've expanded to outsource manufacturing of our designs on acrylic charms, zipper bags, and even plushies!Many manufacturing companies require a high minimum order quantity that most independent artists can't afford, so many artists host group orders in order to save on bulk prices.Important Information for US-based Artists as of May 2025: Importing manufactured goods from overseas may incur more fees than previously. Keep yourself informed as information changes.

If you wish to seek manufacturers on your own, the majority of them can be found on Alibaba. Please keep in mind that each vendor on Alibaba varies in quality and service. Some manufacturers steal artwork that doesn't belong to them and display them as listings. It's going to take a lot of research, risk, and investment to find the right manufacturer that works for you.

The following are suppliers I can personally vouch for. I'm not sponsored; these are based on my honest personal opinions.
