2006 年，「沒有名字的小傢伙」誕生，這些年我們陪著彼此一起長大。
In 2006, The Nameless Little Guy was born, and over the years we have grown alongside one another.
最近看著一整排小傢伙公仔蹲在工作室桌上畫畫，擠滿了桌子，讓工作室熱鬧了起來，彷彿他們在陪我工作。為了噴上保護漆，把他們裝箱送回工程行後，再看著突然變得空蕩的桌面，心裡竟也好像有一點空落落。
Recently, as I watched an entire row of Little Guys crouching on my studio table and “painting,” filling the whole space with their presence, the studio felt unusually lively—as if they were truly keeping me company. After packing them into boxes and sending them out for protective varnishing, the sudden emptiness of the table left a faint, unexpected sense of loss.
2017 年，索卡藝術提出開發小傢伙限量藝術公仔的構想，我欣然答應，我們隨即開始著手進行。
2018 年，我彩繪了前 6 個，小傢伙首次於台北藝博亮相。
2019年，小傢伙被AR（擴增實境）化，以虛擬分身參與了大內藝術節，在街頭與大家相見歡。
2022 年，小傢伙公仔與畫作一起在香港拍賣會登場，最終以超出預估近三倍的價格被收藏。看到他遠赴海外、被人喜愛，那份開心與欣慰至今仍記得。
In 2017, Soka Art proposed developing a limited-edition art toy based on the Little Guy. I happily agreed, and the project began soon after. In 2018, I hand-painted the first six pieces, which made their debut at Art Taipei. In 2019, the Nameless Little Guy was transformed into an AR (augmented reality) figure, appearing as a virtual presence at the Taipei Art District Festival and met people joyfully on the streets. In 2022, one of the Little Guys appeared alongside my paintings at a Hong Kong auction, eventually selling for nearly three times the estimate. Watching him travel overseas and finding a new home remains a memory filled with warmth and gratitude.
今年，我把剩餘的 19 個全部彩繪完成。 每一個都有不同的色調，對應著某件畫作或某個系列的用色，就像小傢伙在畫那幅作品時，不小心沾上或濺到了顏料。
This year, I completed the remaining 19 pieces in the edition. Each one carries its own palette, echoing the colors of a particular painting or series—as if the Little Guy had accidentally picked up the pigments from the artwork he was “painting.”
人在專心創作、進入心流時，某種程度上會覺得像融進了畫中的場景——或許算是一種微小的「天人合一」。 因此，我也在他們身上加入了平面作品裡的元素：煙火、城市、星空、岩壁肌理等等。
When fully immersed in creation, one sometimes feels as though they are dissolving into the picture itself — a quiet, humble form of unity between self and scene. So I incorporated elements from my paintings onto their forms—fireworks, city lights, night skies, even the textures of rock walls.
有幾個使用了不同顏色的亮粉，分別象徵燦爛星光、春日的閃耀、夜櫻的繽紛閃爍，以及路面上微微反光的玻璃沙。 這些元素讓他們彷彿正逐漸化為相應的畫中風景。
Some pieces are dusted with colored glitters, symbolizing starlight, the shimmer of spring, the sparkle of night sakura, or the faint reflective grit on asphalt streets. These touches make each Little Guy feel as though he is slowly becoming part of the landscape he belongs to.
在好幾個小傢伙的身上，我以壓克力顏料調合水與潑灑媒介進行渲染與撞色，形成了一種類似「唐三彩」般的自然流動效果。 這種流動語彙，也是我在平面繪畫中經常使用的，用以回應流變無常的世事與時間。 小傢伙們彷彿在流動的時間之河中，靜靜地畫畫。
On several pieces, I used acrylics mixed with water and splatter mediums to create flowing, bleeding layers of color—effects subtly reminiscent of Tang Sancai glazes. This vocabulary of fluid color is something that also appears in my paintings—a way of responding to the ever-shifting nature of time and life. The Little Guys appear as though they are quietly painting within the river of time itself.
除了流動渲染之外，我也在他們身上運用了些許「2D 塗裝」——在立體造型上描繪暗部並勾勒輪廓線，使他們介於 3D 與 2D 之間。 彷彿既像是從畫中的世界出來，又像是正要重新融入畫面之中。
Beyond the flowing coloration, I also incorporated touches of 2D-style rendering—painting darker planes and subtle contour lines onto the sculpted form—so the Little Guys exist somewhere between 3D volume and 2D picture. They appear almost halfway between stepping out of a painting and slipping back into one.
此外，有兩個我為他們加上了眼淚，有幾個畫上了嘴巴，有些添上了腮紅，各自呈現不同的表情與情緒。 我想表達的是：不管是喜、怒、哀、樂，都能拿著筆，繼續畫下去。
Some cry; some smile faintly; some blush with warmth. Each carries its own emotional state. What I wish to express is simple: whether in joy, anger, sorrow, or delight—one can still pick up the brush and keep painting.
他們現在正在我的個展現場，等著與大家見面。
They are now waiting to meet you at my solo exhibition.
希望你們也會喜歡這孩子。
I hope you will love these little ones as I do.
