Brian Jiang (they/them) is a queer Tkaronto-based designer, illustrator and artist of Chinese descent. They graduated from OCAD U (2020) with a Bachelors of Design (Illustration). Their multidisciplinary work combines both digital and analogue (drawing, painting) media to discuss topics such as identity politics, queerness, communities, and communal spaces. Through their work, they explore the connection between the individual, the community and the greater world. Currently, they are also experimenting with animation and motion graphics. Most recently, they worked as the illustrator for Canadian Students for Sensible Drug Policy’s “Get Sensible” campaign which strives to provide evidence-based cannabis-use education for youth. Brian finds inspiration in the formal qualities of folk art, 60’s Japanese Graphic design, Surrealism, print ephemera and the natural world.
