Comics Artist from Taiwan: 61Chi

61Chi

61Chi graduated in 2011 from the Design Group, Department of Fine Arts, National Taiwan Normal University. In 2007, she published her first Dōjinshi illustration collection and has published over 10 Dōjinshi on her own. At the same time, she continued to receive many cases from publishing houses and private writers to draw novel covers and illustrations.

61Chi is part of a new generation of cutting edge comics artists in Taiwan. With astonishing skills, her style spans children’s illustrations, realism, and Japanese-style aesthetics. At the same time, she is doing design, drawing comics, playing with photography, and currently presenting works among fellow artists. Aside from print media, 61Chi also does a lot of 3D design work, such as ticket holders and iCash cards.

61Chi attempts to take the beauty of art and design and bring it into the world of comics and illustrations. Her dream is to travel around the world, hoping someday to see for herself aurora borealis and the Loch Ness monster.
