About

I was approached by an author to illustrate a children's book about a young magician named Minji, who wholeheartedly believes in her own magnificence. She is an energetic character who owns a pet cat called Chester. Together they put on a lively magic show to entertain all the readers.

Minji

Minji’s laughter spread through the whole house. Her cheerful heart always made her family feel happy.

Minji has a lively, playful, and outgoing nature. With a hint of mischief, she consistently keeps her family on their toes. I designed her clothes to look bright and colourful to match her lively personality.

Chester

Meow meow meow meowww.

Chester, Minji's closest companion, is a big, fluffy cat with a mischievous streak. I designed Chester to look adorable and endearing, reflecting his lovable nature.
