Now in Chinese: Do More Art (Acrylic, Pencil, and Ink)

A series of artistic creation guidebooks originally published by Laurence King Publishing (London) is now available in Traditional Chinese!
This title was translated by RYE LIN ART & TRANSLATION and published by Akker Publishing (Taipei).

During the translation process, I discovered a wealth of creative techniques and often found myself eager to try them out.

A taste of the series:

Acrylic is the second book in the popular ‘Do More Art’ series, which explores the myriad creative possibilities of working with acrylic.

Fans of this artistic powerhouse will discover everything from basic painting techniques to more creative applications, such as pouring, marbling and working with acrylic spray paint and markers.

My latest translation, The Beauty of the Flower by Stephen A. Harris, is now available in bookstores!

It explores how plants were collected, observed, and documented—from tropical flowers and orchids to native European species and majestic trees—while uncovering the science behind their cultivation and the stories of the people who studied them.

Discover how mid-century Europeans explored the natural world and shared their findings through lavish, often costly publications. Pick up a copy at your local bookstore in Taiwan!

New Book Published! Huang Zan-Lun’s Artist Book “Huang Zan-Lun Collection of Settings”

So thrilled to share with you – my second publication in 2020!

“Huang Zan-Lun Collection of Settings”

We had been working on this book for more than six months up until the lunar new year. Yet, after that, when everyone was about to resume the work, our beloved editor-in-chief made a brave decision to further extend the deadline, which means she wouldn’t be able to sell this book in Taipei International Book Exhibition (TiBE), the most important event for publishers in Taiwan.

The thing is, she didn’t consider it a chance missed but believed that it is an opportunity to make the book a perfect portfolio for the artist. You can now tell how decisive and brilliant her decision was. I’m so honoured to work with her – as always.

(In the middle of March, TiBE was cancelled for the first time in 30 years due to the Wuhan Coronavirus outbreak.)

For the book title, we had some good discussions on it, and we put “Collection of Settings” as the book title for a reason.

The author Zan-Lun and the editor-in-chief Tanya both valued Japanese animations a lot and considered them inspiring throughout their life. In Japan, they prefer to use “setting collection” or “collection of settings” for their art books. We therefore decided to make it the title for this book.

About the book

With a collection of artist statement, drafts, essays by professional critics… This is the best chance to explore artist Huang Zan-Lun’s works, his philosophy, and himself as a person!

The book is now available on Taaze.

Click here to buy the book online if you are a fan of Huang’s work.

New Book Published! 2020 The Future 100

This book is finally published! I worked on this project when I was in preparation for the entrance exam of my master’s degree. Tough days lol. Glad to see it’s now published.

There are 100 chapters introducing 100 predicted marketing trends in this book. I really enjoyed translating the book as it showed me so many new things and innovative ideas around the globe. I’d recommend people interested in creative, fancy subjects to read through this amazing book now!

I translated this book from English to Chinese, and I spent quite a lot of effort in transcreating each title of these chapters as I want to show #Taiwanese readers the true gist of each chapter and remind them what these chapters are talking about with a glance at the catalogue.

2020: The Future 100 (bilingual edition) is now available on books.com , TAAZE, and KingStone. Click the links to get your copy 😉

Translation | Brochure for Taichung First Senior High School’s Art Gifted Class

It’s such an honour to translate the promotional leaflet for my hometown’s top-rated high school, Taichung First Senior High School’s art gifted class. They’ve got students who have excellent academic performance and meanwhile amazing talents in painting and art!

Design by Lee Yu-Ru / Photo by Lee Yu-Ru

Combining the Chinese character, 美, which translates into English as “beauty”, 中, which suggests the placename of my hometown “Taichung”, and the English letter A, which symbolises “art”, the designer Lee Yu-Ru creates this beautiful and minimal visual for TCFSH.
