ZEEN CHIN

Zeen Chin was brought up by his grandparents in a small town in the south of Peninsular Malaysia. Behind their house in Kulai was a lake where Zeen and his friends went fishing and built dens. Opposite the lake was a temple where they played. During festivals, the temple staff would set up a projector and a makeshift outdoor screen, and Zeen would sit down on a stool brought from home to watch old Hong Kong horror films.

In recent years the Malaysian has illustrated card art for Applibot’s Legend of the Cryptids and Galaxy Saga, and contributed illustrations and concept art to the board game Kingdom Death. He’s got a big following online. He’s pretty famous – at least, in the world of fantasy art – but he’s not in it for that. Zeen just wants to draw.
