Qian Qian: Drawing from the East
Born in China’s Sichuan province, the highly innovative illustrator and graphic designer Qian Qian uses Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and other Mac software to create art that merges Eastern and Western influences from different eras—from classical Chinese painting and 1930s Shanghai advertising to Cultural Revolution aesthetics, pop art, and the Japanese manga-inspired Superflat movement. “Other people might have training from an early age with pens and brushes,” Qian says, “but the Mac is my main tool.”
