I’m Binglin {pronunc. bing-ling}, an Ignatz award-winning cartoonist, illustrator, and designer. My work pulls inspiration from fashion, wildlife, mythology, and my own lived experiences as a queer and trans Chinese-American. I currently reside in Baltimore, MD with my wife Ashanti Fortson and our various little furry friends.

I’m currently working on Expedition Backyard, an early-reader graphic novel created in collaboration with science communicator Rosemary Mosco. It will be published by Random House Graphic in 2022.

Past clients include Harmonix, The Nib, Oni Press, and Lion Forge. Since 2018, I’ve also been doing in-house graphic design and illustration work for the National Aquarium.
