Tina (Huating) Yan is a Chinese-Canadian illustrator and otaku from Edmonton, Alberta. She works with mainly ink, marker, watercolour and digital mediums, but enjoys experimenting with animation and printmaking as well. Her work draws influences from manga and street art and is constantly fueled by electronic and rock music. She is passionate about designing characters and creating comics and zines, having self-published her first manga RUDBECKIA in 2022. Through her broad scope of work, she aims to share a rebellious spirit and tell stories that encourage individuality and experimentation.

when she is not reading manga, you can find her skateboarding or cafe sketching  ⋆｡°✩
