Hi, it JACK
Jack X. Zhou is an evil, formidable, enigmatic yet super cute and silly internationally tolerated award winning ILLUSTRATOR/DESIGNER/MAGICIAN.
Jack grew up in Hangzhou, China, and he ventured to the United States alone to pursue art — a path that leads him to the sweet and tormenting in-between of Eastern and Western sensibilities.
Now he is insane and passionate toward building community through food, culture, history, and sheer stubborn optimism—elements he illustrates to heal, fortify, and bring the broken world together.
