My teacher said museums are full of wonders and human stories, but some of the art still puzzles me.
While walking around, I found something even more interesting—
It’s a wordless zine I’ve been working on recently.
Can you guess what the little girl is looking at? 👀

A bit about me — I spend about 10 hours a day daydreaming, lost in all sorts of whimsical, nonsensical fantasies. Hope you enjoy this weirdness 🤓👾👁️🐦⬛

Sometimes the sun can be a little scary ☀️
This is a wordless picture book I wrote about a girl being bored 🙂

Hello #portfolioday!
My name is Yan Jiang, and I’m an illustrator who loves bringing my weird and random thoughts to life through drawing. I primarily work with traditional media, and in my spare time, I enjoy reading picture books, writing stories, and hanging out with my dog, Picasso!

Bored out of my mind 😮💨 Everyone else seems fine, but I’m just stuck in this weird, lazy mood.
So I made (or posted) a painting about being bored.

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival 🌕✨
This was a poster I made last year for Shanghai 1933 Old Millfun.
The moon always reminds me even when we’re apart, we’re looking at the same sky. 💛

Sometimes I wonder if I’ll wake up and everything will be different. But I’d still have to go to school. I open the door—one neighbor mowing the lawn, another watering the flowers, framed by photos of themselves growing older. They look at me as if it was always meant to be this way.

Studying in the States, I kept craving those hotpot nights at home. A crowded table, endless dishes, dipping sauces… and everyone talking over each other.

First time painting a forest this dense—and it turned into a gentle parade.🌳🕊️
Each tiny character walked into the scene before I even realized it.
Still in progress, but I hope it makes you pause a little today.

The first time I read The Secret Song by Margaret Wise Brown, I was struck by its sincerity. In a fast-scrolling world, who still stops to notice nature?
