(Eng below) 我花了好一陣子籌劃一個社區地圖,現在終於有空開始進行!以我長期在台北居住多年的通化夜市一帶為中心,將我親身的總總經歷,其中的日常與古怪都融入畫中,並樂在其中。雖然我曾經在畫作中包含人物,這將是我首次加入交通的元素,畢竟這是台北生活日常的一部份。我想我會再製作一份像我多年前繪製的Taipei Trail Map一樣,有詳細文字解說的地圖。我希望能夠以肖像畫的精神,勾勒出台北社區的生命故事。期待在接下來的這幾個月和大家分享此計畫的進度!去年我在為畫蒐集素材時,上傳了這支無俚頭的影片到Instagram:通化南端有一座牆,看起來像80年代電玩"Space Invaders"!

I've been planning a very local scale drawing for some time now. I finally have some time to get started properly on it! It'll be focused on the Tonghua Night Market neighborhood where I've lived for all my time in Taipei. I'm having fun adding all the things I've experienced here over the years, from the everyday to the odd. While I've added people to my drawings before this is the first time I've decided to add traffic. It is after all a part of life here. I think I'll make a text version too in the same way I did with the Taipei Trail Map from years ago. I'd like it to become a portrait of a Taipei neighborhood, full of the stories that make up life here. Excited to share the progress over the next few months! Video is a silly thing I put on Instagram last year when I started gathering stuff to put on this drawing. There's a wall at the south end of Tonghua that looks like the Space Invaders videogame from the 1980's!
