Hi ! I’m Chen Zha, an entomologist and freelancer artist.
Invertebrates are my favorite illustrating topics but I love all the life forms on this planet; especially those underrepresented and misunderstood ones. Open to work in 2023!

We're already in a major extinction event with thousands of species going extinct every year.

I'm slowly watching us make every large vertebrate go away ... except for us and farm animals. Maybe in my lifetime.
