HELLO THERE,
It’s Nice to meet you!
My name is Alexis Young (she/her).
I am a Chinese-Filipino kidlit illustrator and 2d artist based in Canada. Through my illustrations, I aim to capture moments of discovery and tell coming-of-age stories all with a bit of magic and a whimsical nature.
I’m currently working as a freelance illustrator. On the side, I run a small business called CloudyNing, where I sell cute and colourful stationery products and prints.
I AM CURRENTLY AVAILABLE for NEW PROJECTS!
For business inquiries, drop me a line at alexisyoungart@gmail.com or via my contact form.
Tabletop games, video games and background painting
For kidlit inquiries, please contact my agent Christie Megill at cmegill@catagencyinc.com.
CB, MG, YA book covers, picture books, board books, novelty/educational
Some things I’d love to draw:
Adventure and the exploration of new worlds
Friendship and animal companions
Chinese/Filipino culture and folklore
Retelling of heroes and mythology
VERY silly stories!
