【兄弟有夢的設計師—廖小子】

#創作這件事
#設計

會開始注意到設計師廖小子的作品,是因為他的字。他提到相較於國外書法,台灣對筆、墨、紙的使用相對傳統。於是他從發明自己的墨汁開始,將炭壓碎,加水、加透明壓克力顏料,或甚至加油,影響書寫之後的呈現。

小子的作品,都是緣自這樣有機的概念而延伸的。他個性直接、溫柔、幽默;他涉略廣泛,又開書店、辦雜誌、又參與獨立樂團。種種兒少記憶、生活觀察與原始個性反應在他的設計裡。 這回,就隨同小子及他長期的音樂伙伴「拍謝少年」,一起來解構他看似繁複卻又單純的作品。

Godkidlla: The Designer with a Dream

Godkidlla’s work started getting noticed because oh his calligraphy. He notes that when compared to Western calligraphy, Taiwan is more traditional in their approach to using brushes, ink, and paper. This led him to invent his own ink. He starts by crushing charcoal and adding water, transparent acrylic paints, or even oil to experiment with the look of his final product.

Godkilla’s work is an extension of this organic experimentation. He’s known to be a straightforward, kind hearted, and humorous artist dedicated to various creative pursuits as a bookstore owner, magazine editor, and independent musician. His designs reflect his childhood memories, outlook on life, and personality. This episode follows Godkilla and his long term musical partners, Sorry Youth, as they explain his intricate, yet simple artwork.
