Hello! I’m Christina Chung, and I’m a queer Taiwanese Hongkonger American illustrator. I was raised between Seattle and Singapore, and I’m now based in Brooklyn, New York. After graduating from Pratt Institute with a BFA in Illustration, I’ve been working professionally as an illustrator ever since!

I wanted to start this newsletter as a way to navigate my artistic practice in a more meaningful way, recording my thoughts and process behind the work that I do. It’s a huge part of my life both professionally and personally, and I want to have an archive of my journey that’s more than just a timeline or a feed of images badly cropped into squares.


I’m hoping to share:

  • Sketchbook pages

  • Updates on what I’m working on currently

  • More in-depth looks at the process behind projects that I’ve worked on

  • Things that inspire me and current obsessions

  • Short comics/essays/ramblings

If only for myself and as a way to document my journey through time and through my career, I’ll be updating this newsletter (hopefully) monthly. But if it can be helpful in any way to others, that would mean a lot to me as well. Thank you so much for being here!
