RIP Qinni: Fans Pay Tribute to the Artist Who Inspired Them to “Paint the Stars”
People across the world are mourning the loss of Canadian artist Qing Han, aka Qinni, who passed away from cancer at the young age of 29. Qinni—whose work you have probably seen and not even realized it—had a massive and enthusiastic online following after joining DeviantArt in the late 2000s. It was there that she first posted her fantastical, anime-inspired artwork and cultivated relationships with friends and fans online.
