Being a full-time illustrator, Flyingpig loves sketching around the city, showing her enthusiasm through creating delightful illustrations about the cityscapes and the community.
Her first book, "The Scenery of Old Shops", was published in 2016. Illustrated with a fresh, heartwarming style, the book features legendary shops in old neighbourhood and the life philosophy of their shopkeepers.
