About me

I am a queer Malaysian artist (whom is also known as J4LLY online) based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I am a 2020 graduate of the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, and have a BFA in Illustration.

I draw a lot of silly comics based on my life, deeper meaningful comics about my thoughts, and make tons of little doodles whenever I can. I tend to create a lot of illustrative work when I am able to draw, design characters, and build worlds for them to live in. My style can be best described as fun, bright, filled with abstract shapes, textures, and teetering between cartoony and surrealism.

Most of my work is influenced by my Malaysian culture/heritage, growing up aggressively Southeast Asian, and my love for cosmic horror mixed with a touch of sci-fi. I am now obsessed with printmaking, and feel that the linocut printmaking process is my newfound thing. In my spare time, I play games, cook, adore my sassy cat Biru, and binge a lot of Adventure Time.
