Frank Wu is an American science fiction and fantasy artist living in Dedham, Massachusetts. He won the Hugo Award for Best Fan Artist four times, in 2004, 2006, 2007 and 2009.
Wu works in many media, including acrylic and digital painting, and created a portrait of a Klingon girl for a documentary about the Klingon language, Earthlings: Ugly Bags of Mostly Water. He is a regular contributor to science fiction webzines, such as The Drink Tank, and in 2009 announced his ultimately unsuccessful candidacy for 2010's TransAtlantic Fan Fund.
Wu is also a filmmaker, having released in 2006 the animated short "The Tragical Historie of Guidolon the Giant Space Chicken". A director's cut of this short was released in 2007, and a full-length version was in production as of 2008.
In addition to these activities, Wu holds a PhD in bacterial genetics from University of Wisconsin–Madison, though his day job is in patent law for a pharmaceutical conglomerate. He is also a member of BASFA, the Bay Area Science Fiction Association.
He provided designs for the spaceships as well as the space station N313 for the videogame Revolution 60. He also co-wrote and produced illustrations for the game's technical manual, The Chessboard Lethologica, which provides more background on the universe, characters and technology of Revolution 60.
