KANG JING
COMIC | COVER | SKETCH CARD ARTIST
Kang Jing (KJ) is a comic, cover and sketch card artist based in Singapore.
KJ embarked on his comics career in 2019, quickly establishing himself with memorable series such as “The World My Arena” and “ZHAO”, both of which were successfully funded through Kickstarter. The projects earned features in local media outlets (justsaying.ASIA, CNA Lifestyle) and adaptations into animated videos (ComicVid by VividThree Productions). In addition to his original works, KJ illustrated the comic adaptation of CPT Ho Weng Toh’s autobiography, which chronicles the life of Singapore’s last World War II Flying Tiger, serialized in a local newspaper. He also served as the interior comic artist for Týr, the acclaimed Faroese folk metal band. In 2022, KJ was invited as an ambassador artist for Singapore’s inaugural Comic Embassy.
KJ has made significant strides in cover art, contributing to a diverse range of projects over the years. His portfolio notably includes the iconic Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (BOOM! Studios) and emerging IP Shadow Ghost (Fifth Ring Studios). Additionally, he created an exclusive print for Power Rangers in Space @ SGCC 2024, a celebrity meet-and-greet event organized by Iconic Bliss Entertainment.
KJ entered into the sketch card field with Topps in 2024, quickly establishing himself with his work on officially licensed Star Wars products. His debut came with the 2024 Topps Star Wars Chrome series, and he has since illustrated over 200 sketch cards. His contributions are recognized for their detail and creativity, making a significant mark in the Star Wars sketch card collection.
