About Me.
I’m Ying Zhu, an illustrator and visual designer currently based in Glasgow.
My work blends printmaking, narrative drawing, and research-led visual exploration. I am especially interested in how the body carries memory—through marks, scars, piercings, and everyday rituals.
I enjoy working across different mediums, from copperplate etching and pop-up books to tattoo sketches and observational drawings. Across all of them, I aim to create visuals that are emotionally grounded, sensitive, and visually layered.
我是朱盈(Ying Zhu),一位插画师和视觉设计师,目前居住在格拉斯哥。
我的作品融合了版画、叙事绘画和以研究为导向的视觉探索。我尤其关注身体如何承载记忆——通过痕迹、疤痕、穿孔和日常仪式。
我喜欢尝试不同的媒介,从铜版蚀刻、立体书到纹身草图和写生。无论使用哪种媒介,我都力求创作出情感真挚、细腻细腻且层次丰富的视觉作品。
