1. What's your story? Where are you from?I am from Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, China. I graduated from Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, and now I am a free illustrator. 我来自中国广东广州。毕业于广州美术学院,现在是自由插画师。2. Tell us about your aesthetic.I like strange things very much. I like to react to some social phenomena with humorous and interesting perspectives. 我非常喜欢怪诞的事物,喜欢用幽默风趣的视角去反应一些社会的现象。3. What is your favourite medium and why?Usually, I use digital illustration. During my spare time, I like to use hand-painted collage and other media to experiment and then use the computer for digital processing. Digital illustrations hide infinite possibilities and are very suitable for their weird illustrations. 平时我以数码插画为主,日常也喜欢用手绘拼贴等媒介去实验再用电脑进行处数码处理。数码插画隐藏着无限的可能性,非常适合自己的怪诞插画风格。4.

I think this is close to the community. 平常自己就会有用本子记录,拍一些荒诞照片的习惯,而这些都是我灵感库的重要部分,故事和色彩的提取都是从这里面来的,我想这就是贴近社会吧。5.

How does it change the way you view the world?Art can no longer say what kind of role I play in my life, but I constantly want to find my life in art. Art is like a mirror that reacts to different people, different ways and different reactions. 艺术已经不能说在我生活中扮演了一份怎么样的角色,而是我不断地想要在艺术里找到自己的生活样子。艺术就像一面镜子,不同的人、不同的方式、不同的反应。7.

Constantly finding my own interests and going to self-development are the charms of this major--border-less learning. 我曾经就读广州美术学院视觉传达信息设计专业,不断的找到自己的兴趣点然后去自我发展是这个专业的魅力之处,所谓的无边界学习。8.

Favourite book?I still remember one of the sentences: “I tell you I’ve got to paint. I can’t help myself. When a man falls into the water it doesn’t matter how he swims, well or badly: he’s got to get out or else he’ll drown.” 《月亮与六便士》,还记得里面最深刻的一句话:“我告诉你我必须得画画,我由不了自己,一个人要是跌进水里,他游泳游得好不好是无关紧要的,反正他得挣扎出去,不然就得淹死。”13.
