JungShan Ink
“I am JungShan Ink, as “Jung Shan” is my given name, while the “Ink” part represents the Chi-
nese ink I use in my work. I currently live in Taipei, Taiwan. I’m a freelance illustrator
working from home and my clients can be anywhere in the world.
My illustrations are Chinese ink combined with digital pen (Photoshop brush) and Photoshop
effects. I like to combine Eastern style with Western techniques. Most people think the Chinese
ink technique is an ancient and serious art tradition in Asia, but I believe it can be modern and
fashion.
Music is one of the most important inspirations to me. When I’m listening to music, I start to
imagine the story of the song and try to catch their emotions. My art style is less color, and I use
the character’s emotion or make the atmosphere to describe the theme of the drawing. Like the
brush stroke or ink stain. I love to add the petals fly and snow or rain in the background, it is
meaning to the emotional release.
Traditional Chinese ink painting created by the nature of the atmosphere and level of digital
drawing is very difficult to achieve, so I made many traditional Chinese ink textures and tried to
mix them with different material and technique * (like tattoo or graffiti and photographic..etc.)”
