Author Biography

A virtuoso cartoonist and illustrator, Zao Dao is one of the youngest artists of the Chinese avant-garde. Born July 1990 in southern China's Guangdong Province, she began publishing her work on the Internet in 2011. Already universally recognized throughout her own country for her talent as a watercolor artist, Zao Dao evinces a highly original drawing style, blending traditional elements of Chinese painting with a modern graphic sensibility, adding textural effects through her choice of paper surface. While the characters formed at the tip of her brush might at times cast their author as an eccentric young rebel, the ageless pursuit of freedom remains her principal pledge of creativity.
