Meet the Artist: @nyangjinart

Hi everyone! My name is Jin (she/her) and I'm a Korean American artist from NYC. I love drawing magical retro aesthetic art and cute animals that are colorful and vibrant. Art has been my comfort zone and passion for as long as I can remember, so I hope that my art can give that sense of comfort and nostalgia for others! I would have never thought my art journey would bring me to such a community of vast people who also love what I love, so I hope that I can make more connections!

Nice to meet you, Jin! Below are some pieces she has picked out for you all.

Check out more of Jin's work over at her Tumblr, @nyangjinart!

We are highlighting some of Tumblr’s talented artists of Asian descent all month as part of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month!

Day 14 of my Hair Journal was painting during Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month (AAPI).

I reached out to Professor Wayne Quilliam who specialized in photography of Aboriginal people (who works with the Aboriginal people and gets permission to photograph them) and he gave me permission to reference his photography for my portrait.

For the background, I referenced the traditional Aboriginal Dot Painting.

I always find it so interesting to paint people from all over the world. Though I bet traveling and doing it in person would be far more interesting than from my little Hobbit Hole.

Still... I really enjoyed it.

Asian and Pacific Islander Americans have POWER. 🙌🏽 Representing more than 30 countries and speaking more than 100 languages, the AAPI community has a rich history and diverse culture. 

This #AAPIHeritageMonth, join us in celebrating AAPI voters — the fastest-growing voting bloc in the United States, with more than 15 million people! Let’s all get ready to fight for our communities in this year’s local elections.

Like any other group, Asians and Asian Americans obviously have their own conflicts. But they're taught to invest in external ideologies that hurt them as a path to "progress."

This month, as we celebrate Asian-Pacific American Heritage Month, we recognize and honor the contributions of the Native Hawaiian, Samoan, and other Polynesian peoples to our marine conservation approaches. These traditions are at the very heart of who we are and what we do as the National Marine Sanctuary System.
