About Ligang Luo

Ligang Luo, Brooklyn-based illustrator and story-teller, recently obtained his MFA in Illustration from the Fashion Institute of Technology. Originally from China, Ligang studied sculpture, installation art, and woodcutting throughout his undergrad. Ligang’s artistic endeavors didn’t begin at college, though. “I’ve always loved making images. My dad says I made my first drawing when I was one. I loved to draw with charcoal, on the floor or blackboard.”

In addition to constructing narratives, Ligang often works intuitively. “For each illustration, there are actually a lot of different versions – all done very fast. I don’t like images to be too detailed or specific.”
