Taiwan, Province Of China
I’m always a pattern lover since I was a kid, so here comes a work that uses very basic elements within to show the beauty of light, colors and patterns. ian
/ 88 sounds like good fortune in Mandarin, so I pick this number for one of my most energetic baby. ;) ian
My own version of ancient Chinese watercolors, this piece was featured in the 1st release of Movement issue of blanketmagazine.com url
some say it has sinister overtune, so what you think about that?! ;) ian
I can’t make myself do another similar piece as No.75, which I take as a good thing. ian
one of the early works from EB series, it’s a study of abstract, patterns, colors and visual effects.
Since greeting cards are officially available on RB, I decided to let one of my favorite babes join the big pool as well. This piece was created based on the idea of fractal, though I didn’t use any fractal softwares to make it. I will write more details on this later on. By the way, if you want a print of mighty big scale (36”x36” to be exact), it’s availabe on my shop.
It’s always rain, rain, rains and it keeps wet, wet, wet…
Some visual fun for the eyes. :]
Rules are made to be broken, so I disturbed the pattern to make an imperfect symmetry.

let the dots have their dance for a while
probably my most highly-regarded piece ever, no kidding. : ]
something new. in case you have noticed that I rarely update my gallery, it’s just that I get too depressed to carry on, especially recently. anyway, i hope some of you enjoy this. ;)
maybe it’s not a successful successor of No.59…...
one of my personal favorite, maybe it’s because No.4 was the first piece on which I deliberately put the feel of “texture.” It carries a strong sense of movement that magnifies through the shade, color and geometric effect. Unlike other designs, I applied a horizontal view for this postcard design, and added a white space on the right, just for balance’s sake (the original aspect ratio of No.4 is 1.0). Anyway, enjoy. : ]
in case you haven’t heard about it, there’s a competition for digital art on RB on the theme “Infinite Future Chaos”. (http://www.redbubble.com/promo/photoshop) No.27 is the one who is gonna join the bloody contest. The dead line is October 1 2007 so best luck for my fellow artists. : ] I’m sure many of you are capable of making a more stunning piece than me.

this was something i wrote in a park, a couple of months ago.
one of the free postcard I designed exclusively for my customers on my website.
quite an exhausting work actually. from time to time i feel i’m kind of trapped, mentally i mean, that it’s getting really difficult to wipe off those nasty blocks which blur and confuse my vision, I just have to call it a day, and come back over and over again to see if i can seize those moments when my mind’s eyes get clear and confident—no wonder i read an article by an painter talking about art is hard work.

Hello Gang, This is Mark your moderator of the Graphic Arts group. I don’t have anything major to tell you this week, make sure you give your thoughts on the approval of artworks into the group – journal entry here , but you’re all behaving quite nicely with the other children, so we’ll just move on to the main part of the GA Mail. Some interesting work this week in the GA Pool: / HAND by Acid – The use of a instantly recognisable shape of the hand to frame this fantastic bold colour palette and the use of the fluid shapes makes this feel like I’m in the 70’s. Rain by Bradley This is just so beautiful, the simplistic nature of what’s being shown in an almost iconic format is pushed forward by housing the image in a moody background with a slight glow, I enjoyed this piece quite a lot. Extreme sport. 3 by Irina Davies I’ve always been a fan of reducing an image down as far as you can before it becomes nothing, when you’re left with just shapes and lines, but even from that very limited footing you can still see an image, still show motion .. I also like this because something in my head is saying “Its Voltron” GA | Interview This weeks GA interview is with a digital artist from Taiwan – Mitrm Tell us a little bit about yourself and your artistic background.? / I’m just another ordinary guy who claims that being a self-trained artist is something admirable and enviable. / Seriously, that’s not true, I’m just another lad who enjoys making digital graphics ‘cause he never had (or rather, gave himself) a chance to do something beyond his imagination and capability. I always love making stuff since I was a little kid. I enjoy the whole process of creativeness, from the first sparkle of an crazy idea to the very end – good or bad – and most of time, it’s the process, challenge and the experience that help me progress and give me the sense of fulfillment. About an year ago I started learning graphic design programs by sheer chance, after a few embarrassing attempts in the beginning (we all have been there!), I know better where my comfort zone is so I can fool some into believing I’m really good. What is the inspiration behind your works? / You, but it’s not YOU. Without hardly any artist background, I need to see a lot of artwork to get inspired, to know that’s the trend, what others have done and what else could I achieve. So I carefully avoid the most powerful works I have seen, but borrow (if not steal) the strong impression they give me or the key element and blend it into my own work. At times the softwares inspire me as well. You know a slight change of a variable can make a whole lot of difference when it comes to making digital arts. It can be an obstacle but that’s what sharpens my vision as well: only through constant work I can keep focusing on ME, who is actually being creative and “creating” but making graphics that already exist in the setting of the programs. What is your personal favourite of all your works on redbubble today and why, and if you will explain a little on how it was created? / I would say it’s Energetic Baby No.88 , which obviously wasn’t one of those that I spent the most time and labour on but I love it nevertheless. It’s one of my most catchy and cheerful works though (at least the work fits the title), and you can see plenty of my other babes are the implicit imitators of it. Basically it’s all about circles, which create the funky and pleasing pattern, and the cute, ragged polka dots that bring extra movement along with fresh palette and the shades. The strategy is quite simple, but it proves that through some basic elements one can create a good graphic/visual work, even for an amateur like me. / By the way, the most funny comment I got on this work is “it’s warm and homey, maybe because it reminds me of place settings at a table.” Which other redbubble artist do you admire? / Mel Brackstone , LostBoy1 , Paul Ruiz and artstruggle . Tell us what are you doing in your free time? / Reading, writing, baby-sitting, walking my dog, playing tennis and breathing.

yup i know I haven’t uploaded anything “serious” for a while, so here comes a new work in progress. have to do some minor change before the final version, but so far I’m quite satisfied with what I got (or should I be worried about its being too “orange”?!). comments are much appreciated. ;) Update: / / Finally i set up a shop to sell my own prints! in my shop you can get signed, limited edition of prints, by limited I mean, well, really limited! :)
Looking for perfection is such a bore…
i ain’t thinkin’ of doing anything British at all. ;)
