"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.
