Exquisitely beautiful and yet powerful, this full-length animation by Liang Hsin Hiang is now online in full for the first time. Entitled, ‘The Girl Who’s afraid of Touching People’ it deals with a girl who is on a personal journey to overcome fears of the past and embark on a new beginning.

Jun Cen’s recent piece for the New Yorker on Kaija Saariaho’s, work ‘Innocence’ exudes all the power and truth of the opera itself. Taking place over to parallel periods of time, it deals with wounds of the past and the act of letting go. Jun has been able to get to grips with the complexity of the narrative beautifully.  Again. Inspirational stuff.

Mesmeric music video animation by Liang-Hsin Huang for Josh Kimbrough’s track ‘Glowing Treetops’ can now be seen on Youtube.  The haunting melody and delicate imagery are a perfect combination.

We are genuinely thrilled to announce that Liang-Hsin Huang has joined us here at Killington Arts.  Her intuitive and sensuous style has brought warmth and substance to a myriad of illustration and animation projects.  Liang’s powerful yet delicate pieces have a distinct rhythm and poetry which enable them to carry complex concepts and has made them a perfect visual accompaniment to music.  Do spend some time pursuing a small selection of her images on her web page, animation page, Behance or Instagram.  Welcome aboard Liang!

Yet another award for the lovely Meilo So! Butterflies Belong Here has been selected as winner of the prestigious Sigurd F. Olson Nature Writing Award. We so enjoyed working on this beautiful book as Meilo rendered the artwork in watercolour and it is always a pleasure to loose ourselves in parcels of watercolour paper and exquisite illustration. Congratulations to Meilo and the very talented Melissa Manlove on another stunning publication.
