THE SKETCHTRAVEL is a unique international charity art project. This red sketchbook was passed from one artist’s hand to another like an Olympic torch in an artistic relay through 12 countries over 4 and half years.





《Sketchtravel》 記錄了一段別出心裁、前所未見的藝術旅程。 這個史上首見的出版企劃,前前後後共費時5年,橫跨全球3萬5千英里, 動員71位視覺創作藝術家,聯手打造出一部空前絕後的藝術作品。 這部作品網羅了包括插畫家、動畫導演、畫家等,總計71位來自全球各地的藝術家, 每人以個人獨特的風格完成一頁作品,在其中盡情揮灑創意,並以接力方式傳遞, 進而完成這部教人驚嘆連連的大作。

Box Office Mojo 上公佈了 2013 年的電影票房收入。
據說,前 15 部的電影裏頭,有 13 部是 3-D 立體電影。 其中,8 部是用 2D 轉的;3 部是 CG 動畫,所以是原生的立體(這應該很明顯)。 然後有 2 部是立體實拍的! 15 部中,就只有兩部沒有 3-D 立體。
喔,對了。電影賣不賣作,當然與 3-D 沒有絕對關係,更與 2D 轉 3-D 無直接關係。 但如果我有選擇的話,我傾向看原生的 3-D 作品,或至少是有花一筆足夠的預算在轉 3-D 的作品上頭, 而不是隨便請個團隊轉一下,然後就草草上線想騙錢的電影 :)

2013 年的 12 月,台北的天空依舊缺乏聖誕氣氛,不過這樣也好,這表示未來,”營造寒冬的聖誕節慶”還有開發的空間。 一方面訝異於今年消逝得過份的快,得趕緊來回顧一下年初的目標做到了幾成; 另一方面,民國 103 就要到來了,是馬年也,第三輪了!


趁著大家都還在的這幾天,拍張合照吧。 這是太極影音作品背後的團隊,技術團隊。 不管別人怎麼認定”技術”,也不需理會第三方認定的 credits 要怎麼安插這些技術人員的位置, 他們與我在 2013 年,撇開意外流局的,一起執行過或中或小的 TechMeet 的夥伴。

感謝大家的祝福(當然也得感謝 Facebook 提醒大家)。 我又長了一歲了,感覺還不壞。 做了個小小玩意兒。 以時間為軸,大家在 FB 上頭的祝福為文,順手拿幾張有意思的照片放上來。


Thank you everyone for your bless on Facebook. I got one more year in age again, and it felt not bad. The following is a small web page. Your blessing words are represented in publishing order in timeline with some supporting photos.

有些文章,寫的時候,有考究,有放上原文出處,有引用前人睿智的論述,
有設計符合情境的示意圖,有章節順序,有主副論,有有效的實驗或佐證,
有發人省思的結尾,…。
這類的文章,就特別容易打進我的腦袋。最近才發覺,這和一篇好的學術論文還挺像的 :D

Writing my monthly articles



PS. 對了,我有說過,相較於直線簿這種方便書寫文章的筆記本,我更鍾情於格子本嗎? 因為它方方正正,提供了想像空間上的座標與規矩,不會暗示或強迫你要寫出公整的文字。 重點是,工作時,我想用格子本;參加國際會議時,我想用它;胡亂塗鴨時,我想用它。 拿個東西來類比的話。直線簿就像 MS PowerPoint,萬能得很,通透性很高; 格子本就像 Apple Keynote,給你的就是一個畫布,純脆而簡約。 我喜愛簡易而優雅~

Up until this point in the Bible, the whole world had one language - one common speech for all people. The people of the earth became skilled in construction and decided to build a city with a tower that would reach to heaven. By building the tower they wanted to make a name for themselves and also prevent their city from being scattered.
God came to see their city and the tower they were building.

Just like what I did last year, I made a Pinterest board: SIGGRAPH 2013 For You. In which, you can spot some images and videos about this annual big event in the world. And you know what? It’s 40th event for this conference! Just a little bit older than me!
Come, enjoy and even contribute (if you like) what SIGGRAPH 2013 is.
