Cinnastray

Cinnastray

Hi! I’m an illustrator/comic artist living in Dunbar, Scotland.

My main interests are Japanese culture, nature, and folklore. I mainly work in ink, but I also enjoy using watercolours and Clip Studio Paint.

I have a background in (Children’s) Book Illustration and Graphic Design and am using that knowledge for my new direction. In 2023, I won the Europe-wide Sakura Manga Contest, and in 2025 I first exhibited at Thought Bubble Festival. Currently, I’m working on my first comic.
