“Dare to Rebel” challenges the stereotypical, often negative perspectives of ‘delinquents’ and their activities by representing them in positive and playful narratives.”
Tina (Huating) Yan is a Chinese-Canadian illustrator and otaku from Edmonton, Alberta. She works with mainly ink, marker and Procreate, but loves experimenting with animation and printmaking. Her work is highly influenced by manga and street art and is constantly fueled by electronic and rock music. She is passionate about designing characters, screenprinting, and creating comics and zines. In 2022, she self-published her first manga RUDBECKIA. Through her work, she aims to share a rebellious spirit and tell stories that encourage individuality and experimentation.
