A celebrated illustrator and storyteller, Jimmy Liao, is known for his creative images, concise text and delicate drawing that stir the soul, much the way literature does. “Rabbits”, “flight”, and “hugs” are some of the subjects and themes he frequently uses to share comforting, positive energy, as seen in his works such as "All of my World is You” and “Singing Jimmy”. Illustrated characters are also vividly presented as massive head-butting sculptures in distorted proportions, manifesting the artist’s unique vision and unconstrained imagination. Jimmy's works have garnered a passionate following the world over and he has been recognised as one of the "Fifty-Five Most Creative People in Asia" by the Japanese magazine "Studio Voice". He is also an award recipient of Belgium’s Le Prix Bernard Versele, and a multiple-time finalist of the world-renowned Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award for literary achievement.
