Chinese artist Gao Youjun a.k.a. Shanghai Tango is a popular cartoonist on the Chinese social network Weibo with over half a million followers. His comics usually consist of two distinct objects or animals interacting with each other and their funny, coincidental connections. He began drawing these illustrations in 2010 when a friend advised him to open a Weibo account and “challenged” him to make a new drawing every day.\
Youjun has a Master’s Degree in Industrial Design from the Tsinghua University’s Academy of Arts & Design. He joined advertising in 1995 and now runs an agency of his own. Whenever he finds time from his busy schedule, he creates a new comic in his simple, quirky style with a humorous twist. Check out his work below.
