Critics Review
Praise for Weng Pixin: ‘[Pixin s] art, painted in blocks of bold color, has the crafted look of folk art or textiles, with patterns and flat layouts [combined] to fill the pages with color and life.’ Publishers Weekly. ‘If comics are a medium dominated by men and men s stories, Pixin points to a way out of narrative and historiographic blindness.’ The Brooklyn Rail . ‘[Weng Pixin puts care] into each page, enlivening it with floods and washes of bright color.’ The Comics Journal.
Weng Pixin
Weng Pixin (or Pix for short) was born and raised in sunny Singapore. She loves to draw, sew, make comics, tell stories, paint, create and construct using found objects. Pixin grew up listening to stories from her father, who was curious about the way the world works. In turn, when it comes to her art, Pixin loves to create semi-autobiographical comics that reflect her curious nature too.
