For this new issue of Letter from… column, we asked toonpool.com artist Liu Huan (known as Queenio on Toonpool) about her life and begged for some photographs of her working place and the city she lives in right now – Auckland, New Zealand. Queenio is a freelance illustrator, designer and photographer originally from China and says she will be traveling more before settling down in one place!
Her beautiful illustrations stand out because of the particularly stylish artistic view, full of mystery and wonderful chromatics! Check them out on Queenio’s Toonpool gallery!

04. Do you like your place or would you like to live somewhere else?

You can ruin it by closing my bank account.
