I’m YuChia, a Monster lover — Rotterdam-based illustrator, Storyteller and Monster creator.
When I was a little kid, My Neighbor Totoro by Hayao Miyazaki opened the door to a world filled with wonder, imagination, and magical creatures. I dreamed of living there, meeting them, talking to them, and having fun with them.
Somewhere along the way, I started building my own MonsterLands which are filled with whimsical characters, curious creatures, and stories of their own. I don’t remember exactly when and how it began. Over the years, these creatures slowly grew into their own little worlds — and together, they are becoming my Monster World.
Sometimes, it feels like I’m putting together a giant puzzle that I created myself.
Every drawing is another piece. Every character opens a little door. Every story reveals something new.
And the best part?
I don’t know what the whole picture will look like yet.
I’m still discovering it, piece by piece — and honestly, I’m so excited to see where all these little monsters will take me.
