Q1. When did your affinity for art begin?

When I was an elementary school boy, I always read a lot of Japanese manga. These manga books inspired me! So, I started showing interest in manga and art creation.

Q2. What kind of child were you?

I was a quiet boy I think. I did not like to talk and had difficulty expressing my feelings and thoughts. After falling in love with painting, I liked to express my feelings and release stress by painting, regardless of joy or sorrow. Pen and paper are my best friends. I will panic if I cannot find them. Pen and paper are so important to me.

Q3. Which of your original artworks is your personal favorite, and why?

I do not have any preference for any one of my artworks. No single artwork can make me feel satisfied for more than a week. I enjoy the process of creation more than watching a completed artwork. I like to create more new brushes; that is challenging and fun for me. To me, painting is playing, I do not think too much and I just want to enjoy it. I always expect to create art that can touch me.

Q4. It seems that you seldom draw realistic artwork (I found only one on your website). Is that because drawing unrealistic worlds is more fun?

I like to try different styles . I have different styles of creations in different stages. Maybe I have more artwork in unrealistic style currently, but it's not intentional. When I am painting, I am following my thoughts and imagination and that creates the result . To “ paint what I fee l ” is what I expect for my art!

Q5. Most of your art is “fantasy” and it’s like one scene from a beautiful story. Who and what (movie, TV, anime, book etc…) inspires you and your artwork?

I did not intend to have so many fantasy style pieces. I used to visit the CGtalk website to look at artwork from different countries. Perhaps most of them were in fantasy style, and they did influence me after a long period.

Q6. What do you do to relax? :)

When I have time, I will play with Painter to study new skills and new brushes. For me, It is the best way of having fun and releasing stress.

Q7. You probably receive many types of jobs from your clients. What kind of jobs makes you the happiest?

I love the jobs that do not have limitations given by the clients. If my clients can trust me and not limit the style of my artwork, then I can feel free to create. Currently, most publishing companies all have concerns about market needs, so the job I love most is the creative work for my own sake.

Q 8. If you win a million dollar lottery, what would you do?

In fact, one million NTD is not that much. :) If I won one million dollars, I will take a 3-month vacation, stay home and have fun with new stuff, live without any pressure; just do whatever I like.

Q 9. Please tell me your favorite artists and pick one who you want to work with.

All the artists I like have passed away… how can I work with them? :) Talking about modern artists, I admire Chen Uen. I will defiantly learn a lot from him if I have the chance to work with him.

Q10. If you are planning any kind of activity, please tell us about it.

Yes, now I am working on production of a video tutorial book. I will show all the skills I know and wish all the art fans can learn more skills. Though this work gives me a lot pressure, I take it as a motivation to stimulate me to get to a higher level of creation.
