Jessica Ng is a self-taught illustrator and graphic designer based in Sydney, Australia. After several years working in the fashion industry, she began and grew under her brand jb0xtchi, in which she sells prints and stationery. She has since gone on to become a full time artist, with her first overseas solo show being in Hong Kong in 2022. Jessica's whimsical work sets her dark eyed characters, full of child-like wonder, against the unknown of the world. She often puts them amongst the stars, juxtaposing innocence with the depths of darkness and loneliness. Her anthropomorphized world teams with detailed life; mushrooms, strawberries, clouds, and frogs, nothing escapes the large-eyed treatment in which Jessica Ng distils everything into an endearing dream. Her vision is informed by fantasy books, fairy tales, western cartoons, and Japanese anime melded with childhood memories.
