Butterfly Milk’s Artist Team
At Butterfly Milk, we produce all our curriculum content in-house with our very own characters, concepts and stories. For every book a student reads, a whole new world can spring forth through our creative writing activities and discussions.
The power of a good illustration is not lost on us. The pen may be mightier than the sword, but for children just learning to read, a picture is worth a thousand words.
To tap into a child's imagination and draw forth even greater ideas, we have hired artists who are capable of taking our unique and wild concepts – whether it involves a one-inch tall feudal Japanese princess with a needle, a sad baby mongoose telling a wizened tortoise he just wants to throw a party, or an animated clock bravely holding his ground against a ferocious pack of wolves – and transform them into beautiful illustrations that help children to soak up, process, and understand the words on every page.
We work closely with our artists to ensure that every illustration represents the exact scenario we want to communicate.
Meet Butterfly Milk's team of talented artists!
DALLAS
As our very first in-house illustrator, Dallas joined us in 2021. She holds a degree in Visual Arts from Hong Kong Baptist University. Boasting an impressive range of styles, Dallas always brings her A-game to every single illustration she pens. If she could travel anywhere, she would like to visit outer space. She also never says no to a delicious doughnut.
SHANNON
Shannon joined us in 2022, holding a Higher Diploma in Publication Design and Print Media from the Hong Kong Design Institute. Her bold artwork and bright colours have blessed our pages with many adorable animal friends. If she could meet anyone, she would love to meet her favourite animator and filmmaker, Hayao Miyazaki.
CINDY
As an Oil Painting major from the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, Cindy joined us in 2023. Her thoughtful sketches, sharp mind for detail, and careful use of colour bring great depth to her illustrations. If she could go anywhere in the world, Cindy would like to go adventuring in Spain, to find the lost city of Atlantis and to enjoy their famous paella.
DAWN
Dawn is a student under the Creative Media programme at City University of Hong Kong and joined our artist team in 2023. Her unique and expressive character designs come with heaps of warmth, personality and vivid colours. Her favourite food is ube-flavoured ice-cream mochi.
GIANT
Giant is a graduate of the Honours in Animation and Visual Effects programme from Hong Kong Metropolitan University, and joined us in 2023. She memorably captures characters and dramatic scenes with dynamic angles, striking colours, and a subtle sense of humour. She is happy to travel anywhere safe for solo travellers, like Japan, and loves deep-fried tofu.
