Conversation with Comic Artist and MIMOBOT Designer Lillian Chan
We sat down last month with Boston-area artist Lillian Chan, who is a professional MIMOBOT designer and creator of the comic “ah-Lin!” for New England’s Chinese-English newspaper Sampan.
Featuring the voice of a young Asian American woman protagonist, ah-Lin captures a perspective that has not been much explored in the comics world. Lillian has a passion for character illustration and brings that specialty to both her MIMOBOT and her comic art work.
