Shing Yin Khor is a multidisciplinary artist exploring mythic Americana and the American Dream, in conversation with queer immigrant identity, new diasporic traditions, and rituals of labor. Their work is anchored in a lineage of ancient physical material and practice (clay, wood, paper) and human mark-making (pencil, chisel, hand).

As a graphic novelist and cartoonist, Shing Yin Khor is the author of The American Dream?, a graphic novel memoir about driving Route 66, which was one of NPR’s best books of 2019, and the Eisner winning, National Book Award finalist The Legend of Auntie Po, a historical fiction graphic novel about a young logging camp cook in the Sierra Nevadas telling Paul Bunyan tales.
