Artists pay tribute to Qinni

Mourning star The art community is left reeling as a bright, young talent is lost to the world. Here, illustrators acknowledge the impact Qinni had on their lives

8 February, 2020 was a sad day for the art community as Canadian artist Qing Han, aka Qinni, died aged 29. This followed a long battle with cancer first diagnosed in 2015, when she was working at LA animation studio Titmouse as a background painter.

After leaving her job, she continued to share personal work with millions on social media; they in turn provided moral support and financial help with medical bills via Patreon.
