(아이스크림아트) is a South Korea-based developer of Art Bonbon (아트봉봉), a children's digital drawing platform that combines realistic watercolor and oil-painting tools with proprietary AI-driven art-psychology analysis. Founded in 2019 and headquartered in Seongnam (Pangyo), Gyeonggi Province, the company holds 92+ global patents distributed across drawing tools (22), art-psychology analysis algorithms (40), AI analysis (12), art-psychology tests (11), and digital art education (7+). Its product suite includes the consumer-facing Art Bonbon platform at art-bonbon.com, the dedicated Art Bonbon School (아트봉봉스쿨) institutional product, a forthcoming Global Digital Gallery, and Art Bonbon École (bonbonecole.com) for international markets.

The company monetizes through two primary channels: B2C subscriptions for individual children and parents, and B2G/B2B institutional licensing for schools and education offices. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Distribution combines a web platform, a smartphone app launched in May 2025, and a global version launched in November 2024, alongside active participation in international education trade shows (London Bett Show, Tokyo Edix, Singapore Edutech Asia). The company has been validated through multiple public-sector selections, including two consecutive years of Seoul Education Office AISW (2024-2025) and Gyeonggi-do Office of Education Edutech Softlab (August 2024), and operates internationally in Taiwan (Education Ministry platform, March 2025), Japan (TBS POC, July 2025), Singapore, and the United Kingdom.

Underlying the products is a continuously growing repository of age-labeled children's drawings, with thousands of new drawings added daily and age-group labeling completed as of December 2025. The AI pipeline processes drawing images into structured analysis outputs covering creativity, aptitude, career fit, stress, and emotional type, supported by academic publications in December 2025 and January 2026 and selection for NVIDIA Inception in April 2024. The firm is privately held, founder-controlled under CEO Park Ki-seok (박기석), with no disclosed external institutional investors and a workforce of approximately 17 employees.
