I am Ziyoo, an illustrator and animator.

I left from South Korea, laid over in China, then landed in the UK.

After studying illustration,

I fell in love with moving images and am now adapting it to share my stories.

​

Please daydream,

be absurd,

be imaginative!

Let’s escape from the world you’ve known before.

 

Hope you enjoy walking around my headspace.

한국에서 출발해 중국과 영국을 지나 다시 한국에 돌아왔습니다.
각 나라에서 배운 시각적 언어들로 이야기를 채집하여 정적이거나 동적인 이미지로 얘기합니다.
