Jiaqi Wang ( like ‘Ja-Chi’) is Chinese-born, New York and Los Angeles-based illustrator and animator.
She loves using strong lines with equal weight, surrounding flat colors, giving equal priority to every element in a drawing, whether in the background or foreground.
Sometimes, she uses perspective, quirky characters, and moving images to add more to the narrative. You can catch her work from the corner of magazines to somewhere on the walls of your city.
When she is not working, she watches all kinds of documentaries and reads graphic novels.
