John Chen

John Chen is an artist whose journey spans the dynamic cityscape of New York and the cultural depth of his Chinese heritage. From a young age, John straddled two distinct worlds: nurtured by his grandparents in Fuzhou, China - as well as his upbringing in the US. In 2024, he achieved a milestone as a graduate in animation and illustration from KU.


Immersing himself in the digital domain, John specializes in the intricate crafting of mechanical and fantasy-based concepts. Influenced by artistic luminaries such as Mike Mignola, Till Freitag, and Dean Cornwell, he is carving his niche in the art landscape.


Looking ahead, John envisions a significant impact on the concept art industry. His future plans include establishing an illustration guild characterized by creativity, collaboration, and a familial atmosphere. With a deliberate approach, John is shaping a future where the realms of artistry and community intersect harmoniously.
