绘画运动

这样的尺寸（A2），我一直以碳精条作画。碳精条手感温软，粗线条，手臂的活动空间较大，有时必须全身运气；相较另一我偏爱的尺寸（A4）- 活动局限于手腕范围，这样的尺寸让我在作画时更加下意识地关注身体的运动如何影响线条表现。我也喜欢在浩大的白板 (就是学院常用的那种) 作画。当把全身都运用在绘画上时，过程极有快感。


新闻纸与碳的结合效果我特别喜爱，有种 “干水墨画 (这是我自创的字)” 的质感。碳与薄纸面的轻微摩擦产生一种韵味，极有趣，极高级。至于能不能作出 “焦、浓、重、淡、清” 五色，有待发掘。水墨画里的十八描怎么运用 ，我最近就思考这个。

Animal Farm 動物農莊

广告插画师的工作不在于创造出一种新的观看方式，而是使用/挪用已经约定俗成的，具有代表性的图像，作为观众和那个idea的“桥”。以看的方式达到沟通的目的，英文就称之为visual communication。


因广告是大众化的，广告的观众，可以是任何人。为达到宣传效果，平面广告多数出现在公共空间。而公共空间多数人头攒动，所以广告的挑战就在于如何挑起观众观看兴趣，这一点，是任何视觉艺术的共同点。


就用作宣传海报的广告插画而言，海报上有一个讯息要传达，这个讯息是一个“场”(field)，画面上的任何元素都被这个“场”吸引着，不论是风格，画法，图像，样式，符号，字体，标题，等等等等都为这个“场”服务。


平台计划的Animal Farm 動物農莊改写了英国小说家George Orwell的原著。小说在那个代发表时被称为社会的良心。在这个政治不稳定的时候被改编后搬上马来西亚的舞台，非常应景，非常合时。相信导演编剧是有心人，以“猪”这在本地极具色彩性及争议性的动物为联想，我接到案子后，心里暗笑，“绝！”


“猪”笨不笨，脏不脏大概只有猪知道。把猪放在宣传海报上，再贴在公共空间，这就好玩啦！绝对有挑衅成分，所以我画的时候是很兴奋的。


做了几个version。导演最后选了较“笨拙”的版本。画法，色彩有点仿政治波普(Politic POP)，以达到“笨蛋革命”的效果。

自己则较喜欢蓝色的“顽世”(cynical)版本。为了那个“场”服务，我尊重导演的选择。发一些图，你得空也去捧个场吧！

儿童版本，这个版本就差强人意。

这个logo 我倒是很喜欢。

Tropicana Life Street Tee Competition

This design won the 3rd prize of Tropicana Life Street Tee Competition.

My concept:
The word “STREET” is formed by letter “S”and “T” plus “Tree”. The original word suggests a street with trees. But something is missing in the street that we living in today. Buildings become the main elements on the street.

My design is a combination of typo and graphic, the street is slowly occupied by the increase of buildings. Cutting edge designers goes beyond “design for design sake”, they are more Eco-concern. The challenge of contemporary designers is to use design as a tools to communicate with the world. Tee shirt serves as an effective platform for artists to express their thoughts.

Again, what is more HIT than environmental issue? The street style reflects the thoughts and life-style of city living people and the real tropical eco-life.



Mine one is promo Tee-27. Just go to any Tropicana Life outlet and you can get the T-shirt. All the money collected will be donated to SPASTIC CHILDREN ASSOCIATION OF SELANGOR AND FEDERAL TERRITORY.

Tropicana Life is also having a Street Tee Exhibition Charity Drive. Check out the time-table. If you happen to see it when you're shopping, help me to take picture and send to me at sioyean@gmail.com. I don't think I can visit all the outlets. Thanks ;)

Preview

The T-shirt are opened for sale very soon. You may email to me if you are interested.

This is a co-project with Hugo's Garden.

What am I doing recently

I have participated in a illustration competition. Yes, my aim is the Wii console.
I am hoping to change it with Iphone if I really win, haha. Of course, the winners got the chance to exhibition their works during the Taipei Toy Festival in Taiwan this year.



The story of the character LEO ROMEO reminds me of Salvador Dali. The initial sketches have a lion face at the background.


I also tried on M.C. Escher's multi-view-point approach.


Final pencil line.


Out of busy work-load, I was left one night for colouring. A lot of details are yet to be refined. But I enjoy the "paint touch" of the process. Not to be restricted by the outline, just keep paint over the underlaying paint. The end result is a bit "oil paint-like" or "gouache-like".

创作概念：

魔术棒再次产生作用。这一次，他把LEO进了现代主义大师的画布世界。塞尚的苹果，凡高的木椅，达利的梦。

梦中充满不知名的事物，LEO期待着另外一次的精神冒险。

象征：

棋和棋盘代表LEO的人生。拥有权力却没了自由。飘起来的LEO化成精神体。远方的狮子国王在定睛看着他。
