Hi, I’m Longting Li. I’m a Chinese-born artist living in the Netherlands who loves creating vivid pictures of characters and animals with a sense of innocence, humor, and a dash of absurdity. I enjoy hand-drawn, watercolor, and stop-motion media, and I’m always on the lookout for cute, fascinating things to capture in my daily life. With a background in Fine Arts Marketing and advanced study in art and design in the UK, I’ve built a practice that crosses illustration, animation, and children's literature. I value playful storytelling, historical context, and collaboration, and I’m excited to bring my distinctive visual voice to new projects.…Hi, I’m Longting Li.
