The cover illustration is by Say HANa Lin Hua, and it incorporates Taiwanese elements.
The first print run includes a postcard featuring this cover illustration as a bonus.
The book has 176 pages in total, and the text is presented in both Chinese and Japanese. It also includes the creator's resume, works and various social media accounts.
With 76 creators and only 2 pages for each, the number of works included is limited (but it has been carefully selected!). It is more suitable as a way to get to know these creators, and then you can use the directory information to track and appreciate more complete works!
The illustrations in this book cover a wide range of themes, showcasing the diversity of Taiwanese illustration! 🤗
The book includes several interviews and dialogues at the end, including an interview with Krenz, a dialogue between the Department of Visual Communication Design at National Taiwan University of Arts and LOIZA, and a dialogue between the Global Comics Department of KADOKAWA and the Comics Department of Gaia Culture.
It's great to have a book dedicated to Taiwanese illustrators!
Looking forward to more releases! 📚
