Chiu’s alltruistic nature have captured the imaginations of a large community fan-base, his inspiring guidance and motivations seem to have far surpassed the reaches of the art community. With online podcasts dedicated to the fans and subway sketching trips in hometown Toronto, it is no wonder that his wealth of inspiration have coincided with his ever expanding studio. His values in the world of illustration and his dedication to constantly developing technically have catapulted him to the top of the industry.

In an interview with Sidebar recently, he revealed being involved in the ongoing production of Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland. As an avid fan of his work, I demand you take a look at his most recent pod-cast where he discusses among other things, our looming economic downturn that seems to have turned the celtic tiger into a celtic vulture.
