Hello. My name’s Jason Pym, I’m a British author and illustrator, and I’ve been living in China for the last 20 odd years.
My latest book, The Story of Chinese Characters《汉字博物馆》published in 2024 won China’s prestigious Bingxin Children’s Literature Award.
A Dali Sketchbook 《大理外传》about Dali prefecture in Yunnan province is now in its third printing, and continues to be well received.
My illustrations have been published by the Financial Times and Penguin Books, and my watercolour paintings exhibited in China, the UK, and America.
I currently live with my family in Kunming, southwest China.
