嗨，我叫 Chian，來自台灣。自小就對繪畫充滿熱情，在學校時期主修與藝術與設計相關的科目。
Hi, my name is Chian, and I come from Taiwan.I have been passionate about drawing since I was young,
and during my school years,I studied subjects related to art and design.
關於Delly Have A Cat的開始，是一個成長的過程所留下的禮物。
在2019年時，我的生活經歷了轉折點，當時我情緒非常低落。然而，在信仰幫助下，我逐漸走出了那種狀態。
The inception of ‘Delly Have A Cat’ was a result of my personal growth journey. In 2019,
my life took a turning point, and I was feeling very low at that time. However,
with the help of my faith, I gradually emerged from that state.
後來，我的伴侶鼓勵我在全職工作之餘，可以做一些能讓自己感到快樂的事情。
因此，我開始進入插畫領域，以我們家的貓作為主角，希望通過其可愛的形象為人們帶來療癒和快樂。
Later, my partner encouraged me to do something that brings joy to myself while working in a full-time job. Thus,
I began entering the field of illustration,using our family cat as the main character,
with the hope of bringing healing and joy to people through its cute image.
我對藝術創作和設計也充滿熱情。除了貓咪插畫，有時也會創作一些奇幻藝術作品。
真心熱愛藝術和設計，因為它們讓我們的生活變得更加美麗，希望能夠通過創作在他人心中引起不同的情感。
However, I am also very passionate about art creation and design. Apart from cat
illustrations, I sometimes work on creating some fantasy art.
I truly love art and design as they make our lives more beautiful, and I enjoy being able to evoke
different emotions in others through my creations every day.
藝術在許多方面豐富了我的生活，很感謝有機會與他人分享我的創作。
我相信藝術能觸動人們的心靈，為世界帶來正能量，讓人們笑容滿面，為他們的生活創造一個小小的幸福角落。
Art has enriched my life in so many ways, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to share my creations with others.
I believe that art can touch people’s hearts and bring positivity to the world.
I hope to bring a smile to people’s faces and create a little corner of happiness in their lives.
Q2. What inspired your cover design for Mossery? 是什麼啟發了你的這個封面設計？
一開始，我思索著什麼樣的創作能讓人們整年都感受到興奮。
思考了很長很長的一段時間，突然間，一個歡樂的馬戲團遊樂園的概念浮現在腦海中。
一直覺得馬戲團遊樂園是一個能為人們帶來許多喜悅和夢想的地方。
At the beginning, I pondered what kind of creation could bring people a sense of excitement for the whole year.
I thought about it for a long, long time.Suddenly, the idea of a joyful circus amusement park came to me.
I have always believed that the circus amusement park is a place that can bring people a lot of joy and dreams.
在那裡，你總是能見證到壯觀的表演，每個人都像花朵一樣閃耀著，看起來美麗動人，
而人們在那裡總能充滿的歡笑。因此，決定以這個為主題，創作出給人們一種神奇力量和新年希望的感覺。
There, you can always witness spectacular performances, and everyone shines as brightly as flowers,
looking beautiful and dazzling. People there always wear smiles on their faces.
Therefore, I decided to use this as the theme to create something that gives people a feeling of magical power and hope for the new year.
Q3. Describe your artistic style and influences. 請描述一下您的藝術風格和受到影響的因素。
整體背景主要以較暗的顏色為主，而主角則以較亮的顏色繪製，形成強烈的對比。
The overall background is primarily composed of darker colors, while the protagonist is
illustrated in brighter colors, creating a strong contrast.
對於擁有這本手帳的人來說，就像是一位華麗的主角站在舞台上，在手帳的頁面裡創造並記錄著他們美好而奇幻的日子。
For those who possess this journal, it’s like being a magnificent protagonist standing on a
stage, creating and recording their fantastic and beautiful days within the pages of the
journal.
周邊與背面的花象徵著手帳主人猶如充滿活力和美麗的紅花，持續綻放出耀眼的光茫。
The flowers on the surrounding and back cover symbolize how the owner of the journal is
like a vibrant and beautiful red flower, continuously blooming brightly.
在書背的部分，星星被設計在上下兩端，中間寫著「Create your fantastic life moments」的詞語。
就像星星一樣，它們守護著每個人，一起創造美好的生活。
On the spine, stars are designed on the top and bottom, with the phrase “Create your
fantastic life moments” written in the middle.
Just like stars, they watch over each individual and together, create wonderful lives.
Q4. What was your creative process for this design? 請分享一下您這個設計的創作過程。
猶如第二個問題，它傳遞出一年即將到來的奇幻美好感。
Just like the second question, it conveys a sense of a fantastic and wonderful year ahead.
Q5. Did you face any challenges during the creation? How did you overcome them? 在創作過程中是否遇到了任何挑戰？如果有的话，你是如何克服它們的？
一開始的確不知道該創作出什麼，才能達到讓人想要擁有並一直使用他的感覺。
於是冥想一下，沈澱自我，剎那間就想到了這個畫面，
我知道這聽起來很奇幻，但冥想對於創作真的是很有幫助的：）
At first, I really didn’t know what to create to evoke a sense of wanting to own and continuously use it.
So,I meditated, and with a moment of introspection, the idea for this image suddenly came to me.
I know it may sound fantastical, but meditation is genuinely helpful for creativity. : )
Q6. Are there specific themes or messages you wanted to convey through the cover? 你希望通過這個封面傳達哪些信息？
你就是主角，你可以創造屬於自己的舞台任何一個人都可以像鮮豔的花朵般持續綻放著，並寫下屬於你的精彩人生。
You are the protagonist, and you can create your own stage.
Anyone can do it.Just like vibrant flowers, continuously blooming, and write down your fantastic life story.
Q7. What is creativity mean to you? 創意對你而言是什麼
關於會創作這件事情，真的覺得自己非常幸運，也非常感謝上天給了我份這麼棒的能力可以將心裡想的或是現實所發生的事，
以一種美好的、療癒可愛的形象傳遞給予人們語言是人們傳遞情感重要的工具，但當語言不通時，藝術傳遞訊息最好的媒介，
這包含了各類的藝術，無論是音樂、繪畫、插花或是舞蹈等等都是以心的方式，感受創作者所想傳達的訊息。
I feel truly fortunate and immensely grateful to possess this wonderful ability to create.
Whether it’s expressing the thoughts in my heart or capturing real-life events,
I have the privilege to convey them to people through beautiful,
healing, and adorable imagery.Language is a vital tool for communicating emotions,
but when words fall short,art becomes the most effective medium for conveying messages.
This encompasses variousforms of art, be it music, painting, flower arrangements, or dance, and more.
Q8. What emotions do you hope people feel when they see your cover? 您期待別人看到你的封面時，它會帶給人們什麼樣的情緒？
他會是給人一種安定、療癒並給予希望的情感。
It will give people a sense of calmness, healing, and hope.
Q9. What advice do you have for aspiring artists or creators who want to make their mark in the industry? 對於那些初入行的藝術家或創作者，你有什麼建議？
在以前剛開始學創作藝術與設計時，我時常受到很多老師的批評，當然某些部分是有幫助的，
但很多時候會影響了自己的信心，想告訴他們，別人所說的可以參考著聽，但不要因此影響了自己的信念與初衷，
而所有的生活體驗都會變成你創作的養分，多出去走走，體驗不同的事情，與不同的人交際，他們都會帶給你很多想法，
藝術是主觀的，當你覺得好時，一定就能吸引與你相同喜好的人喜歡你愛自已的作品，它將會看起來很耀眼，別人也就會喜愛它。
When I first started learning art and design, I often received criticism from many teachers.
While some of it was helpful, most of the time, it affected my confidence.
I wanted to tell them that it’s okay to consider what others say but not to let it sway my beliefs and original intentions.
All life experiences become nourishment for your creations. Explore the world,
experience different things, and interact with various people – they will bring you many ideas.
Art is subjective, and when you feel good about your work, it will naturally attract people who share similar tastes.
Love your own creations, and they will shine brightly, captivating the hearts of others.
