About me

Hi! I am YOYI (Yantong Wen/文艳彤）I am an illustrator from China.

​

I was born in Shenzhen, a coastal city in southern China.

I love sketching and I enjoy picking up a paintbrush to record the world during my travels. I'm now an student in Cambridge School of Art majoring in MA children's book illustration.

​

​During my undergraduate years, I majored in animation and worked as an animation storyboard designer in an Internet company for four years. I believe that both picture books and animations are forms of storytelling art. I hope to constantly broaden my horizons and enhance my understanding of art.

I enjoy drawing like a child, thinking as child, which inspired me to start creating picture books for children.  

 

 I enjoy experimenting with different materials. Finding the right medium for each story is important to me because each story has a unique atmosphere and meaning.
