Q1: Hi Eason, do tell us a bit more about yourself.
依霖你好，請你紹一下你自己吧。

hi! i’m a graphic designer from taiwan 🇹🇼. i’ve loved watching japanese anime since i was little, which inspired me to start drawing when i was around 12 years old. i’ve also been deeply influenced by western culture and have always been fascinated by european architecture. in 2024, i went to barcelona to pursue the second master’s degree in visual design at elisava. for now i’ve just finished my dual master’s program and hoping to find a full-time job in europe🤞🏻

嗨！我是來自台灣的平面設計師，從小因為喜歡看日本動漫所以從12歲就開始嘗試畫畫，而我也深受歐美文化的啟發也一直很嚮往歐洲的文化與建築，在2024年前往巴賽隆納的【elisava】設計學校讀【visual design】碩士！目前剛結束雙碩士學程並希望能在歐洲找到全職工作。

Q2: Would love to hear more about this artistic collaboration that you did with Paper, please do share more.
很想了解更多關於您與【Paper】的藝術合作：

when paper first reached out to me, i was in downtown seoul during a layover. i checked out paper’s work and website and thought “wait hold on why would someone with such mature cool work and branding contact me?!” afterwards as we continued our discussions, i really got to see paper’s professionalism, and honestly i learned a lot from this collaboration ❤️‍🔥

當初【paper】聯繫我的時候，我正在首爾轉機，當時邊逛街邊看到了【paper】的作品和他的網站，心想等等，為什麼作品和品牌那麼成熟的人會找上我？！後續開始合作後和【paper】討論的過程中也發現了【paper】的專業與對工作的熱誠，我其實從這次合作過程中學到很多！

Q3: Now, motivations and artistic journey:- what led or inspired you to do what you do today.
談談你的動機和藝術歷程：是什麼促使或啟發你從事今所做的藝術？

i’ve actually been hugely inspired by japanese anime and design culture. i mean taiwan is really close to japan geographically. at first i just loved drawing anime characters, but later i started noticing all these super cool graphic designs and packaging from creative markets and social media, that made me want to try creating something myself. so i started learning and eventually stepped into the field of graphic design. but tbh, it all comes down to one simple thing — i’m just deeply attracted to cool and beautiful things, and i want to create them myself. it might sound like a silly reason, but that’s really what shaped who i am today.

我其實深受日本動漫和日本設計文化很大的啟發，畢竟台灣跟日本根據地理位置跟文化等等非常靠近，一開始我只是單純喜歡畫動漫角色，後來看到網路上和台北很多創意市集有許多很酷的平面設計視覺做成很好看的樣子，這讓我產生想要試著也創作看看的念頭，隨後開始研究並踏入平面設計這個領域， 但其實總歸一句，我只是“深受很酷很好看的東西吸引，而試著想要自己去創造看看” 這個聽起來很瞎的動力和理由，但這確實造就了現在的我。

Q4: You have inevitably a unique style - defined by the words 'creative coder'! What do they mean and do. share with us more about this interesting approach to visual graphics.
你必然擁有獨特的風格－用「創意程式設計師」來形容就再適合不過了！這究竟意味著什麼？又是如何體現的呢？請和我們分享一下這個有趣的視覺圖形處理方法。

i wouldn’t really call myself a creative coder yet, since i just started learning and tbh i mostly copy and paste code 😍. but the reason i got into creative coding was kind of like what i mentioned earlier, that i saw a super cool digital visual from social media, then i looked it up, i found out it was made with a program called processing (which i had no idea about at the time 😍). that got me curious, so i started looking into it, took a few related courses, and began self-learning. i actually really enjoy the mix of frustration and satisfaction that comes with coding, that feeling when something finally works😭. what i love even more is combining those coding visuals with editorial design. for example my astro boy zine project from elisava is one of the best examples of how much i enjoyed that creative process.

我其實不太敢說自己是【creative coder】, 因為也才剛踏入這個領域的我基本上只會複製貼上😍 但當初開始學習【creative coding】的契機也是像前面所提到的，我在網路上看到一個超酷的電子視覺，一查之下發現對方是用【processing】這個軟體做的（我當時根本不知道【processing】是什麼😍）後來試著去了解，找到了一些相關課程，並開始自學。我其實很享受學習【coding】的挫折感和成功生出視覺的成就感，尤其將生成的視覺應用在平面設計，結合【coding】和平面編輯設計的這個技法超酷的，例如我在【elisava】設計的【astro boy zine】就是其中一個我很享受過程的例子。

Q5: Do you see any relation between your artistic journey and the theme of fashion?
你認為藝術歷程與時尚主題之間有什麼關聯嗎？

actually i had never done any fashion-related design before collaborating with paper, i only started getting interested in the fashion industry about two years ago (which is kinda late i know🤡). so i’d say i’m just starting to explore it now and i really hope that my future works can have more connections with fashion as a theme.

其實在和【paper】合作以前我從來沒有做過任合時尚相關的設計，甚至是在兩年前受到【ader error】啟發才開始對時尚這個產業產生興趣並加以學習 (有點起步太晚了🤡)，所以我覺得我有點像是現在才開始希望將來的作品能和時尚這個元入有更多的關聯。

Q6: Where do you envision yourself in the coming years as an aspiring artist, or even so in your personal endeavours?
作為一名有抱負的藝術家，你如何設想自己在未來幾年的發展方向？在你的個人追求中，又有怎樣的規劃？

for now my goal would be to find a stable job in europe. after spending a year in barcelona, i realized that i really prefer the lifestyle and working environment there (designers are treated much better compared to asia). i hope i can find a place where i can truly express my creativity. as for my personal works, i’ve been exploring my own style over the past few years, and honestly i’m still not sure if i’ve developed my own distinct style yet, but i’m still trying to figure that out. oh and recently i got a bichon frise named spezi, he loves biting me all the time 😡 i really hope he grows up soon to stop biting.

目前我的目標是在歐洲找到一份穩定的工作，在巴賽隆納待了一年後，我知道我自己偏好歐洲的居住環境，設計師在那裡也會被對待的比較人道（跟亞洲比起來），我希望能找到一個能展現創意的地方。在個人創作方面其實這幾年我一直在摸索自己的風格，甚至到現在還不確定自己是否已有我獨特風格的跡象，但我會繼續努力找到自己的定位，還有最近養了一隻叫【spezi】的比熊犬，他超愛咬人😡 我希望他趕快長大才不會一直咬我。

Q7: What are your thoughts on collaborations, especially in the digital space?
您對特別是在這個領域的合作有什麼看法？

i don’t have much experience with collaborations yet, especially in the digital field. i started to understand it more after knowing and working with paper. i do believe that collaboration between creatives always leads to a lot of mutual learning, whether it’s gaining design experience or getting more exposure.

我個人對於合作的經驗尚淺，特別是在數位的領域也是在和【paper】談過後才略有了解，但我相信藝術家之間透過合作這個行為絕對總是能互相學習到很多！不管是在設計經驗上或在推廣知名度上。

Q8: Congrats on being a brand ambassador! Would love to hear more on how that inspires you creatively and how you feel it can bring you forward, personally and for [ze Luna].
恭喜你成為品牌大使！很想聽聽你對這份工作如何激發你的創作靈感，以及你覺得它如何能幫助你個人和【泽卢纳】取得進步的看法。

i’m really excited about this ❤️‍🔥 when i first came across [ze luna], i was honestly amazed, it’s not just about fashion, but also blends 3d, ai, and so many other design fields. those are exactly the kinds of things that inspire me deeply. i’m really looking forward to witnessing [ze luna]’s growth and transformation!

我真的很期待也很興奮！這個品牌在我一開始接觸的時候就令我歎為觀止，它不僅僅包含時尚，甚至融合3d和ai和多領域的設計，這些都是我深受啟發的特點，我很期待一同見證【泽卢纳】的成長和轉變！

Q9: Closing statement to the audience!
向觀眾作結語！

thank you paper for reaching me out in the first place! i can’t wait to see what kind of sparks we can create together!

謝謝【paper]一開始來聯繫我，我很期待後續的合作以及一同創造令人意想不到的作品！
