Book illustration - Wedding Essence

At the beginning, the graphic designer and I had a discussion about style and how to present the illustrations for each chapter. A series of narrative and consistent illustrations represent a guide to organize a wedding. (...in a more romantic way)

The first book illustration of Matilda, it will be published at March 2009.

Dear deer

Psychoanalyse

My big hairy bear, my blue-eyes Husky, my poor little young man. /gouache

I remember Foz always says 'I hate people consider that illustrations are all about illustrators themselves.' But for me, the thing to personalise drawings is quite important somehow, because that's the main motivation to keep me draw and feel. Well... I am not going to tell you what's it about anyway, cause it' s kind of personal. (But I can use big wash and colour background now, Foz. :P)

Layout of hand-painted wallpaper

Amatory
In the early spring,
Branches spray,
leafs grow and petals fly.
I stand over there,
To wait,
An amatory conversation,
Between
Flower and butterfly.

Traditional War III

When I came back to Taiwan, it seemed the main political two-party, KMT (blue) and DPP (green) were still the same, the opposite of political arguments, malversation, tragical-hero-like speech of Chen Shui-bian.

However it always makes me laugh about the language translation. KMT means Kuomintang, it is actually translated directly from mandarin pronunciation, that means if you are someone who cannot speak any mandarin, you can still say 'Kuo-min-tang' (the same with Chinese pronunciation). But who knows what that means?? I just don't understand how come they don't want to change it to 'Chinese Nationalist Party of ROC' in English version on the website. it is nothing about unpatriotic or anti-Chinese culture. Just it is more easy to communicate at least. (but somehow it can be a benefit that forcing western people to learn mandarin.)

MATILDA IS BACK IN TOWN!
with fully charged energy and start seeking a job! ioi

My flatmate is now having a holiday in Switzerland, I wish can go somewhere apart from London this year or next year.

Traditional War II

The idea of this pattern comes from a subgroup of the Han Chinese people, Hakka (Mandarin: Kèjiā). They are commonly found in the southern Chinese provinces, such as Guangdong, Jiangxi, and Fujian in China. In Taiwan, Hakka people comprise about 20% of the population and are descended largely from Guangdong: they form the second largest ethnic group on the island. Taiwan's Hakka are concentrated in Hsinchu City and Hsinchu County, Miaoli County, and around Chungli in Taoyuan County, and Meinong in Kaohsiung County, and in Pingtung County, with smaller presences in Hualian and Taitung County. In recent decades many Hakka have moved to the largest metropolitan areas, including Taipei, Taichung, and Kaohsiung.
Many people in Taiwan are of mixed Hoklo, Hakka, and formosan aboriginal heritage. Approximately half of the population of Hakka in Taiwan also speaks Taiwanese, and it is highly likely that many Taiwanese-speaking households were descendants of Hakka families in Taiwan who lost their language a few generations back because of the lack of practical environment.

Traditional War I

明眼人一看就知道這次花紋主要取自阿嬤的紅花布，客家花布有著鮮豔的丹紅色跟牡丹花，象徵喜氣跟富貴。南部的客家人，以藍染技術著稱，客家服飾以「客家藍衫」為主，北部的客家人，偏愛以花布製作衣褲，原因是客家人很節儉。

網路上查到關於客家花布說法：一是客家人以前很窮，只能撿一些別人家剩下的布來拼湊成衣物、背包……等等，而從各家聚集而來的布料自然成了花花綠綠的用品了形成客家花布；另一種說法是花仙娘娘為了感謝客家人的辛勞，便利用許多花的色汁來染成花花綠綠的頭巾、笠巾等飾品來裝飾客家人，因此客家才會有花布的文化。

這個塗鴉是以前在台灣做過的 ' Love and Courage' 紙模原稿還在台灣，於是我用以拉重畫了一遍，也把比例修正了。

Four for a Boy

“TRI·FLE” |ˈtrīfəl| n.

1. Something of little importance or value.
2. A small amount; a jot.
3. A dessert typically consisting of plain or sponge cake soaked in sherry, rum, or brandy and topped with layers of jam or jelly, custard, and whipped cream.

‘NO ONE IS INTERESTING IN YOUR TRIFLES!’ a friend told me one day.
At that time, I was doing research about human cells, because to compare with the whole universe, my life is just tiny as a cell that we rarely really consider about it. It is a composite thing combined with a lot of small events, a cellular something, which cannot be seen easily.
After that, I was started to observe friends surround me, those ordinary events happen within daily life. That was how the stories began, combined with the quote:

One for sorrow,
Two for joy,
Three for a girl,
Four for a boy,
Five for silver,
Six for gold,
Seven for a secret never to be told.

Then drew stories on Japanese calligraphic paper scroll as a continuous drawing. Each story has its own style, material and stand by itself, but when you see the whole scroll, they thus become a whole, associated with many individual stories, as the same with the research I did about human cells. The scroll format also presents a ‘secret’ atmosphere, it is extremely private, to open it slightly then able to see next image, like traditional Chinese painting.

This is the four story. (but I actually thought to link three and four stories together before) I would like to play around with strange typeface :)

Bling Bling!
