Lea Linin is a self-taught illustrator and gif-maker based in Vancouver, British Columbia. Lea began her journey into illustration by making GIFs, and only later developed her passion for more traditional pen-to-paper techniques. Her illustrations are often infused with humour and nostalgia and she finds great inspiration in vintage photography, especially photo booth portraits. In everything she creates, she aims to celebrate the magic of the everyday.
Lea’s illustrations have recently been published in Patchwork Magazine, Shameless Magazine and The Lolla. She loves the challenge of creating illustrations for editorial and the gratification of being quick on her feet when reaching print deadlines.
One of Lea’s most recent projects is a self-published small zine entitled Turtleneck Guys, which features portraits of Wes Anderson, Jim Jarmusch, Bill Murray and David Lynch. In the future she would love to continue to produce more volumes of the zine and continue her recent dabble in riso printing through experimentation with the medium.
