Featured Artist: Caroline Juang (catblip)

Art & Design · Featured

We are thrilled to spotlight Caroline Juang, the creater behind the name catblip. Caroline is a scientist-turned-illustrator whose creative practice bridges the worlds of research, comics, and design — and whose work has taken her from published anthologies to the surface of a satellite launched aboard a SpaceX rocket.

About Caroline

Creativity has followed Caroline throughout her career, informing her work as a scientist and allowing her to express her passions through a diverse set of mediums. She has created graphics and designed websites for her research, published her comics in comics anthologies, and illustrated art — both personal and commissions for others — to express her love for space exploration.

Her artistic vision is threefold: to imagine inspirational futures in space with a lens on representation, to weave stories of science and fiction through sequential art, and to collaborate in ways that promote understanding and access to space.
