Weng Pixin was born in 1983 and grew up in sunny Singapore. As a child, Pixin’s father used to tell her stories—stories that reflected his curious nature. When Pixin began making art, she wanted to express that same curious nature in her semi-autobiographical comics.

Upon graduating from (then known as) Lasalle-SIA College of the Arts in 2004 with a degree in Painting, Pixin spend the next decade immersed in her art practice: working in a range of medium from painting, drawing, making comics to sewing and constructing using found objects. Pixin’s facilitation of art workshops for children and adults in Singapore and overseas led to her interest and completion of a Masters in Art Therapy from LASALLE College of the Arts in 2016.

Pixin’s debut graphic novel, Sweet Time was published by Drawn & Quarterly in 2020. It compiles a collection of short-form comics she’d created between 2008 - 2017, capturing themes of loneliness, desire, disconnection and connectedness. Her second graphic novel, Let’s Not Talk Anymore (published by Drawn & Quarterly in 2021) was inspired by her once-fraught relationship with her mother, which led to Pixin’s interest to dive into the untold stories of figures along her matrilineal line.

Pixin currently divides her time between facilitating art workshops for children and working on her comics and art.
