Xulin

Xulin (they/them) is an award-winning Canadian-Chinese illustrator, author, and comic journalist living in Toronto. As a lifelong learner passionate about causes including science, education, and representation, they've dedicated their career to illustrating complex ideas and diverse, vibrant characters. As a first-generation immigrant, their art is shaped by personal experience—growing up between cultures, exploring the nature of the Rocky Mountains, and a lifelong love of learning. Their approach to art is bold and vibrant, emotional, communicative, and meticulously researched.

Xulin is an emerging voice in comics, authoring and illustrating thought-provoking stories at the intersection of social justice and science. They have published work with the Guardian, Vox, and solo-exhibited at the United Nations Geneva HQ with a comic (The Silent Pandemic: No Time to Wait) that has brought awareness on pressing public health issues to international diplomats and the general public alike. In the realm of children and middle-grade lit, they have worked on covers and illustrated books for clients such as HarperCollins Kids, Orca Book Publishers, and Lorimer Press.
