水曜(星期三)是一個星期裏最平凡的日子 旮旯是角落,不起眼的邊邊角角。 一開始創作的構思是要把天馬行空的獨特元素加進普通的日子裏, 讓平凡的時刻變得不平凡。 水曜旮旯繪圖的構思大部份來自晚上奇異的夢境, 還有日常生活面對的種種。 不走小清新,不走寫實, 這裏的風格更像是走進七十年代的馬戲團裏的感覺, 醜怪醜萌 層層曡曡,畫中有畫。 最大的特色就是每一幅圖都有自己背後的故事, 有些訴説的是病痛的來由,有些是快要走入歷史的傳統習俗, 有些是粵語成語的典故,有些是無厘頭的上班趣事, 有雜貨店有麵包車有土地公拿督公有霓虹燈 總有一幅是你的故事。 朋友曾説過 水曜旮旯的繪圖有點難抄襲 - 因爲沒人的腦洞像她那麽大開。 也就這句話,造就了今天水曜旮旯大膽的畫風。
A desperate call for attention to all uncommon things and thoughts. “You’re weird” - To me, this phrase sounds like a greeting more than a comment. Peculiar dreams have been with me ever since my childhood, imagine walking into a circus in a kaleidoscope, neon lights with big billboards with tapirs, yokai’s marching around with a crowd of vintage toys. These dreams secretly seep into my mind and influence my train of thoughts, giving me a different perspective to view things. Being a daughter of a journalist and an author, I was brought up in a safe environment for self expression, and it happened through the tips of color pencils. “Your art speaks a thousand stories” - Obsessed with the concept of maximalism, Colors and different compositions are my ways of storytelling. I tend to stuff each and every inch of the illustration with objects, (ie my trademark- hairy legs), at the same time every small frame carries a different message. Core message - Being different isn’t daunting, it’s satisfying.
