Happy #portfolioday to all those creatives out there!

I’m Jennifer Chan, an nonbinary illustrator/cartoonist from New Jersey. I’m available and currently seeking work in kidlit/children’s and middle-grade media industry such as picture book, cover, and vis dev. 

For many years I’ve contributed colorful comics and illustrations to various anthologies that range from themes of light hearted autobiographical to cozy fantasy. My recent work includes a marketing illustration for an indie video game that explores themes of Asian diaspora.

🖤Kat, Raúl, and Bearzebub from Wendell and Wild for #fanart friday.

This is one of those special movies that I watched maybe two months ago and I still think about it and wish there was more to see especially with side characters. Also it has possibly what I think is one of the best soundtracks of all time which is a wonderful love letter to Afro-punk music. I must have listened to it at least three times on repeat so go see it if you haven’t.

Btw if you’re still reading this I appreciate you, also if you haven’t been up to date with my other socials I started archiving my journal comics on ko-fi rather than webtoons. One of the things I didn’t enjoy is the ranking system on that webtoons and I never intended to make my journal comics for that reason so I think kofi will be better to keep me on task with updates.

I’m playing catch up with some posts from instagram transferring them here so bear with me if you may have seen this already. 🙃

🌿🌸I went outside (& touched grass :⁠-⁠D) and took advantage of the gorgeous spring weather to take some new photos of my pins and charms. I’m glad I got these photos when I did because all the blooms went away in a flash in a few days. It’s satisfying seeing them side by side in a set. I have just one more pin design left that’ll be revealed next month!

Had the pleasure of commissioning @jchanart for fanart and they chose our lovable protagonist, Robin, shown in both their real world and Spirit World forms!

💫Hey hey! I have exciting news! I did this commission for @midautumngame . The running theme of Asian diaspora with a nonbinary protagonist really hits home for me so I was completely happy to draw chibi Robin in human and spirit form for this gorgeous indie game.

💖MidAutumn is coming to early access May 9th and you can wishlist it on Steam as a little reminder to support an awesome and fun game!

Welp the share integration between instagram and tumblr ended so I’m back to posting here later/when I can. 🙃

Last week I did some quick “finger painting” doodles on my tablet as drawing warm ups in the morning for fun. Haha my memory is really bad when it came to the Pokémon drawing. Anything new or more complicated than a round circle Pokémon went mush in my brain. 🙈

✨A warm up portrait from the weekend. Lol I wasn’t going to post it and then was like who am I keeping this feed pristine for? I already don’t get hired for the jobs or events I apply for and algorithm is already screwy along with everything else that is collapsing in our society. So here’s a sweet GaY monster idk what he’s wearing. Is he a cat or a bat or just a furry Naruto like cosplayer? Idk you decide. 🔥:) . . . . . . #illustrator #illustration #cuteart #nonbinaryartist #aapiartist #cozyvibes #digitalart #drawing https://www.instagram.com/p/CqG7X81r_I5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🧶✨Mewtwo and shiny mareep illustration commission for @galanddolls Lindsay drew her sweet idea on the second image for my reference and I was like YES, I LOVE IT. I will take this ART REFERENCE AS MY MUSE. Third image was the awesome personal tote she made out of it and the colors came out so good! 🐑 . . . . . . . #illustration #digitalart #nonbinaryartist #aapiartist #mewtwo #mareep #pokemon #illustratorforhire #commission #cuteart #wholesomeart #knitting #videogame #fanart #kidlitartist #cozyart #cozyvibes https://www.instagram.com/p/CqBpl7suSfJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🖍️Closer look at Restaurant Dragon. Based on the banquet dragon statue in a local restaurant. Started as a sketchbook drawing and then I decided to use watercolor, color pencil, and posca markers. I love my old aquabee notebook, but I should probably just make a watercolor sketchbook for less paper warping. . . . . . . #sketchbook #poscaart #mixedmedia #illustrator #illustration #drawing #artistoninstagram #aapiartist #nonbinaryartist https://www.instagram.com/p/CpVbgTgukre/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🌿Canary Prince brooch pins are up! There's a limited amount of them like my charms because I hand assembled the backings and stamped each one. Also I'm honestly not sure if I'll be tabling at conventions this year, last year events were either a hit or miss, but if any mutuals want to split tables for something let me know, I might be interested.✌️🌞 . . . . . . . #illustration #fairytale #canary #cottagecore #illustrator #artistalley #aapiartist #nonbinaryartist #fantasyart #pingame #handmadewithlove #njartist #shopsmall #witch https://www.instagram.com/p/CosTxD2uad7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

💀DIRTY DIAMONDS VOL. 10: Death (2019/2020?) Oops I’ve been meaning to update this comic since December, but it’s fitting to post on Valentine’s day with a bonus follow up. I’ll still sneak drops of hot sauce on some things tho if I’m feeling bold...🙈🌶️🥵🔥 . . . . . .hastagtoxicrelationship🤡 #comic #nonbinaryartist #spicy #illustration #autobio #journalcomic #illustrator https://www.instagram.com/p/Cop8kuFuXF3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
