Brant Yang (Yang Weizhi) is an illustrator and 3D character artist based in Shanghai, working across film, games, and art education. A graduate of Otis College of Art and Design, he began his career in Los Angeles designing movie posters. After returning to China, he worked as a 3D character artist at X.D. Network and continued contributing to film marketing projects.

He currently teaches painting and digital art at Shanghai Vancouver Film School and Warrior Art Camp. His work blends 2D and 3D techniques, focusing on figure, portraiture and visual storytelling with a balance of realism and expression.

In June 2025, he was invited to join the Asian Art Association Singapore (New Media and Cross-Border Experimental Art / 3D, VR, AR Art).

The first time I saw Norman Rockwell’s illustrations as a student, I was deeply moved by the world he created—realistic yet filled with romantic imagination. His ability to capture the warmth of everyday life made me realize that illustration could tell stories and evoke deeply personal memories.

I’ve always hoped my own work could do the same. By reinterpreting the pop culture that shaped our childhood—movies, games, characters, and dreams—I aim to share those familiar feelings through my own lens. Like Rockwell, I want to create images that speak to shared memories and bring people back to the wonder and imagination of their earlier days.

For me, creating art is not just about expression—it’s about sharing the moments we’ve all held close.
