Hi, I’m Lis!

I’m a Chinese-Canadian creator, residing in Toronto, Canada. My main tools are ballpoint pens, pencil crayons and watercolours! I love creating work that reminds me of the warmth of a hug.

I am a member of Wavering Line Collective, a trio of friends who work on producing a bi-annual zine of comics and illustrations. Check out our work in the Wavering Line tab on the left and here.

I'm currently open for any illustration or design work. If you like my work, please let me know! You can email me at lis@lisshu.com :)
