"It is rare to find such creative vision
and range of design ability within one person. From crazy
cats, to unique fashion designs and the Royal Deck collection,
we hope you enjoy her work as much as we do..."

What do you get when you combine a
frozen chicken and a ballerina, or a cat and a bagpipe, or
an insect and a beautiful lady? No, this is not a riddle—it’s
the surreal imagination of Daphne Yap. Prepare to be amazed!
The illustrations in Daphne 01 are unlike any seen before.
This book contains everything from bizarre carnival creatures
to ornate royalty inspired by a deck of cards to fanciful fashions.
With brilliant line work and exquisite detail, this young artist
conveys her characters and creatures with every element necessary
to bring them to life.

Daphne Yap
was born in San Jose, California. From the time she
was in preschool she has always immersed herself
in art. After winning various awards
for her art, she realized she didn't want to be limited
to just drawing or painting. Her search for a broader
education led her
to apply to Otis College of Art and Design in Los
Angeles. Although Daphne had been interested in both
fashion and illustration, she
chose toy design as her major. While attending school,
she also interned with McFarland Toys, Mattel and
received the grand prize
in the Sadi International Fashion Design Contest
of 2000. Daphne currently freelances in Los Angeles.
