The biggest challenge with unboxing these curated collections is deciding which artists' work to photograph, especially since each illustrator only gets one page (2 pages), leaving many amazing illustrations unreleased. Plus, you need a physical print to see the details. If you like it, buy a copy to support them!

This art book features works by 83 illustrators from Taiwan, many of whom are well-known or even household names (?), or whose artwork you've definitely seen somewhere before (X). Of course, due to space limitations, this is just the tip of the iceberg; there are many more talented Taiwanese illustrators not included!

The title of the album cover has a good effect of hot silver (also on the side of the book). I always feel that the paper on the inner pages has a pearlescent effect. Somehow the outer cover of the book will slide around easily during the reading and appreciation process. The cover image is drawn by VOFAN, and the interview with Say HANa and the drawing process are also included at the end of the book.

In addition to the collection of works, the collection also contains information about the illustrator, including the language used, mailbox, URL, and various platform accounts (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram), but it is not necessarily real-time. It is found that there are some cases where the illustrator has changed Account name, and "None" is written in the book, but the painter actually has an account (maybe I don't want to provide it for inclusion). At the bottom is bilingual self-introduction in Chinese and Japanese~ (By the way, this is a simultaneous release from Taiwan and Japan)

I'm so happy to have such a collection of works by many of my favorite illustrators. Although I mentioned in a previous post that I don't really like collecting compilations, as long as the images aren't too messy (uneven sizes, too many or too small images without selection), and are well-arranged, it's still very enjoyable to appreciate the whole book! I think 3-4 works are the limit for a 2-page book like this one; any more than that would greatly reduce the quality of appreciation because you wouldn't be able to see many small details.

If you want to get to know many powerful illustrators who cover all kinds of painting styles at once, this collection is really suitable for purchase, but there are relatively few illustrators drawing new pictures for this collection. I personally think that if there is a common theme (such as: related to Taiwan) to include works, it would be quite interesting!
