A former theatrical painter, designer and propmaker, Shing Yin Khor makes work and comics about awkward, charming, and awkwardly charming creatures trapped in a world of bumbling science and human fallibility. Her themes are inspired by historical hoaxes, old museums, cabinets of curiosities, pre-Linnean taxonomy, and her multicultural upbringing; her palettes are inspired by the more obnoxiously colourful parts of nature, especially invertebrates.

She sculpts, paints, and makes comics. 

She is a member of the Circus Posterus artist collective.

Born in Malacca, a port city of Malaysia – and raised between cultures on a diet of fantasy tropes and post-colonial detritus – Shing currently calls Los Angeles home.
