Kai Lun Qu

In 2022, after getting inspired by artists at comic and anime conventions, he made the decision to infuse his traditional oil painting techniques and his love for pop culture media to build a bridge and interconnect "Fine Art" and "Fan Art".
Kai has worked for many extensive clients since then including Square Enix and Marvel, he is currently contributing his paintings for the award winning game Marvel SNAP.
