Tristan V. | Cinnastray
Hi, I’m Tristan! I’m a German illustrator living in Scotland. I have a background in Children’s Book Illustration and am now working towards a career in comic/manga and concept art. Last year, I won the Europe-wide Sakura Manga Contest.
I have a deep interest in Japanese culture, exploring and travelling, entomology and criminology, and horror games, films, and literature. I’m also obsessed with stationery and recently started selling my own online and in local stores.
