　　Can you tells us about any projects you’ve been involved in that you’re particularly proud of?

　　It’s not a project in the strictest sense, but I was very flattered that Janine Vangool chose an illustration of mine for the cover of the first issue of Uppercase Magazine.

　　 I had never before seen my work featured on the cover of a magazine much less the first issue and now I fear I won’t see it again. The best part is that my work was on the cover of a fantastic magazine, but I feel honored more than proud.

　　On another note, I’ve just finished a series of greeting cards for Carrie and Hal of Red Cap (they’re lovely people). They asked to use existing works, but when I proposed new illustrations for them they accepted and gave me free reign when it came time to work. I think this will be obvious when you see the final results.

　　I am very happy with the final product and recently had a chance to view some samples. They left a great impression and I can’t wait to see the real thing. Generally I feel most proud of my personal projects over my commercial projects.

　　你最引以为傲的作品是？

　　严格来说这并不是一个项目，但我感到非常荣幸Janine Vangool 选择我画做 Uppercase Magazine杂志的创刊号封面。 我的作品从来没有上过杂志的封面上创刊号的杂志封面更是不敢想像。我觉得这再也不会发生了。最重要的是我的作品上了一个奇妙的杂志封面，我感到非常荣幸和自豪。

　　另外，我刚刚完成了Carrie 和Hal of Red Cap的一系列贺卡。他们让我用现有的东西就可以，但是当我给他们新提案的时候，他们接受了，而且让我自由发挥。结果是很明显的。我很喜欢最终的产品，最近我也看到了一些样品，让我印象深刻，我已经迫不及待的要看到实物了。总体来说，我觉得比起我的商业作品来说，我更喜欢我的个人作品。

　　It sounds like you’re involved in a lot of fun and interesting projects. Is there anyone you’re interested in working with or for?

　　I am lucky to have a collaborative project pending with some friends that aside from being my friends also happen to be really great at what they do. The less positive side is that the project is currently stalled because of me. In reality, the paradox is that I am rather individualistic in my work and I’ve been used to working alone for a long time. On the other hand, I would like to collaborate with so many people that I am incapable of naming just one.

　　I would like to see my work in other arenas and in mediums that at first glance appear distant from my own work, a line of skateboards, wooden toys, or textiles for example. So if anyone out there would like to reach me you know where I am!

　　听起来你参与了许多有趣好玩的项目。是否遇到过你感兴趣的人？

　　我很荣幸和我的一些朋友合作了一个项目，但是不幸的是这个项目因为我的关系被搁浅了。说实在的，我在工作上太自我，很习惯一个人工作很长时间。另外，我经常和许多人合作，很难从中选择一个。

　　我很想我的作品出现在各种不同的领域通过各种不同的媒介，哪怕他乍看好像离我的工作很远，比如画板、木玩偶、纺织品什么的。所以任何想知道我的人，就会知道我在哪里。

　　Can you walks us through your work flow?

　　While my process for commissioned work is very disciplined (whenever possible), I don’t have a predetermined process for personal projects because I work chaotically. The following work was commissioned, but has a very personal touch.

　　The client gave me free reign in the production of limited edition prints for his store. The store specializes in music posters so my first idea was to make a fake poster billing for a fake concert. The turning point came about while listening to the song Autumn in New York, I decided then I would do something Jazz inspired with New York as the backdrop.

　　你能跟我们分享下你的工作过程吗？

　　我的商业委托工作是很规律的，但是我的个人项目就比较随意，没有什么预定的步骤，可以说很混乱。下面这个工作是一个商业委托，但是搀杂了很多个人因素。客户让我为他的商店设计一款限量版的印刷品，让我自由发挥。这个商店 主要经营音乐海报，所以我就想到做一个虚拟演唱会的宣传海报。当我听到 Autumn in New York这首歌曲的时候，工作出现了转折，我决定以纽约为背景用爵士乐做些创意。

　　Sometimes I sketch on paper and others I start sketching in Illustrator. In this case I decided to start drawing (in Illustrator) the character playing the trumpet in basic shapes.

　　The first character was too silly or caricature like for the idea I had in mind. I eliminated the trumpet and began to style him. Once I have a clear idea of form I begin experimenting with various brushes. I also experiment with fonts for the text.

　　有时候我在纸上画手绘草稿，有时候在Illustrator里做草图。对于这个海报，我决定在Illustrator里大概画一个吹喇叭的人物。第一个形象太傻太滑稽，不是我想要的。我去掉了喇叭，开始为他造型。一旦我形成一个清晰的想法，我就用各种各样的笔刷去尝试。我也尝试加不同字体的文字。
