Welcome to the world of Chowdown!

Rachel Liu

Join one prickly delivery-cat and his friends of mythological creatures in their daily lives working in a Chinese restaurant.

Chowdown is an exploration of Chinese culture and aesthetics in a cozy, urban setting. It is my way of reconnecting with my background and history as a Chinese-Canadian. By telling the story of mythological creatures that run a Chinese restaurant, I want to share a world that is familiar and comforting, yet charming and novel.

“Oh, are you new here?”

“Let me introduce myself.”

She loves to pursue it whenever she can in between her illustration practice.

She grew up adoring the fun and experiences that video games and animation brought to her as a child, they inspire and guide her artistic practice to this day. On a normal day you’ll find her listening to Rock and drawing at her computer, while having a warm cup of tea.
