Jinyoung Shin
Jinyoung Shin is a young illustrator living in New York, she has developed a very unique* style strongly influenced by japanese manga look but with a very decay feeling, very interesting and intense. Check her amazing work in dadaly.net
*Updated note: Apparently her style is not that unique, there is another artist Aya Kato who has been doing this work for years also the way she presented her gallery is quite similar than his, I leave it to your consideration.

i`m sorry but her work is not at all unique... AYA KATO
has been doing this for years now and way better in
my opinion.lol even the gallery in which she presents
her works looks like Aya`s.
Yup! you are right... actually I saw it before but I though was the same artist. Is almost the same work and the same site. Obviously she has been very influenced by AYA KATO. Thanks for the info!
cheers for the update!
I do like Aya's work much better, too, but I dont think its fair to say Jin copied Aya's work. Its kinda obvious that they are both heavily influenced by japanese manga. They do have similarities but I cant believe someone actually thought or got confused that its the same artist.
btw u got her name wrong. her last name is Shin, not Shi.
similar or not... really interesting style! love it
In my opinion Shin and Kato work in two distinctly different styles. Shin has a more refined sense of color than Kato...she's also more fluid in her organic melding of forms... Kato uses bolder color and can tend toward a more graphic/collage style. As for uniqueness, it rarely exists as a dramatic departure from what's come before. These artists are both very talented.
The two artists share certain sensibilities, and they are both clearly influenced by manga artists like Hideyuki Kikuchi, but I think their styles are quite distinct. And as for their galleries being identical, two frames and a black background isn't exactly groundbreaking. It's pretty intuitive actually.
I agree, their styles have dramatic differences despite some certain similarities. Living in a manga induced culture it's pretty hard to not be influenced in some manner and share traits with other artists. It's pretty hard for any other artist in general to define them self without appealing to be similar to someone else's work. As they say "Great minds think alike." Shin and Aya both have inspiring work with defined styles.
