Čínsky rodák Xi Ding žije v rakúskej Viedni a je považovaný za jedného z najlepších karikaturistov súčasnosti. O tom svedčí aj množstvo ocenení, ktoré za svoje diela pozbieral. Vo svojej tvorbe sa necháva inšpirovať popkultúrou, celebritami, spevákmi či obľúbenými filmami a seriálmi.

Svojím jedinečným štýlom dokáže vystihnúť podstatu zobrazovaných postáv a ľudí a sympaticky ju zveličiť. Vďaka tomu jeho karikatúry pôsobia príjemne humorne. Niektoré z jeho diel sú realistickejšie, iné sa zase spoliehajú na väčšiu štylizáciu.

Xi dokonca prezradil, že základnú kostru postavy má pri kreslení hotovú za tri minúty! Pracuje jednak klasicky (teda s papierom a ceruzkami či štetcami), ale aj digitálne. Jeho diela sú rozhodne pozoruhodné a nižšie si môžeš vychutnať výber 20 z nich.
