(English below) 新作品：高雄哈瑪星! New work Hamasen, Kaohsiung!
哈瑪星不是一個很大的區域，但卻有著很多有趣的地方。我在12月的時候初次造訪，在打狗英國領事館上欣賞風景時，我決定要再進一步的探索並畫出這個地方。我發現了百年旅店、一間美麗的武術館（也就是武德殿）、高雄的第一座車站、一座廢棄的外國人公墓、一個依山坡而建的漂亮漁村、在香港以外最可愛的渡輪、傳統的漁村社區、港邊紅磚建築物以及一個穿過一條長長隧道欣賞日落的景點。我來自一個沿海城市，一直都很喜歡港口，但在那裡大船都會在很遠的海上下錨。在這裡大船在海濱區開過，我喜歡在作畫時加上幾艘船。六月的時候我再次來到這裡，拍攝了幾個我錯過的地區，並探索了旗津，幾個月後這個作品就完成了！壽山環繞著這個地區，還有那些好奇的猴子，所以我稍微調整了角度，讓整個地區增加一些高度。最上方是高雄忠烈祠和千光寺的塔，以及山丘遠處是中山大學漸漸淡出。
這幅作品將可以印刷品印製. 臺灣境內免運！原始作品將會在11月展出。作品可在這裡購買： overthecityshop.com 謝謝！
Hamasen is not a huge district but it's full of really interesting places. I first visited in December and while taking in the view from the Old Consulate Building decided I wanted to explore it a little deeper and draw it. What I found were 100 year old inns, a beautiful martial arts hall, Kaohsiung's first station, an abandoned foreigner cemetery, a pretty village climbing the hillside, the cutest ferry outside of Hong Kong, traditional fishing neighborhoods, red brick port buildings, and through a long tunnel a great sunset spot. I'm from a coastal town and have always liked ports but where I'm from the large ships anchor far out to sea. Here they pass right next to the seafront and I enjoyed adding a few to the drawing.
I visited again in June to photograph areas I'd missed and explore Cijin. A couple of months later and this drawing is finished! The area is surrounded by the Shoushan hills (with their curious monkeys) so I adjusted the perspective a little to give them some height. On top is the Martyr's Shrine and the pagoda of Qianguang Temple, and beyond the hills Sun Yat Sen University fades out of view .
This drawing will be available as a print. Free shipping in Taiwan! The original will be exhibited in November. It is available now. All are available at overthecityshop.com .Thank you!
