Artist/Creator Interview 藝術家/創作者專訪
Q1. Tell us about yourself as an artist/creator. 請向我們簡要介绍一下您作為一位藝術家/創作者的背景和經歷。
大家好，我是吉鹿小舖的作者Lotus。從小喜歡動手做東西，例如玩偶、衣服、手工藝…，
園藝系畢業工作幾年後，進入藝術家工作室擔任助理，在這樣的環境薰陶下重拾畫筆，現已離開藝術家工作室自由創作。
Hello everyone, I’m Lotus, the creator behind Jingle Deer Creative Shop.
I’ve always enjoyed hands-on activities since I was young, such as making dolls, clothes, and crafts.
After graduating from horticulture, I worked for a few years and then joined an artist’s studio as an assistant.
In that environment, I rediscovered my passion for painting and have since been pursuing my creative journey.
Q2. What inspired your cover design for Mossery? 是什麼啟發了你的這個封面設計？
參考被台灣愛兔協會幸運救援，長大後野放的野兔小姐。
雖然成長的過程遭遇險境，但長大成兔回歸山林也算是很幸運的小兔子吧！所以畫野兔小姐拿著幸運草。
大家知道嗎？這也是野兔和家兔的食物之一哦！
My inspiration for the Mossery cover design came from a fortunate rescue by the Taiwan Rabbit
Saving Association—a story of a hare that was released back into the wild after being save.
Despite facing challenges, this hare grew up smoothly and returned to the forest.
I depicted “Miss Lucky Hare” holding a four-leaf clover,which symbolizes luck and is one of the hare and rabbit’s foods.
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。
題材內容是自己喜歡的大自然與小動物，風格應該有受到歐洲的諷刺畫報影響。
雖然在藝術家工作室工作五年，但創作風格和老師們截然不同(哈哈)，但老師們對創作的態度和藝術的想法與熱情讓我得到很多收穫！
My artistic style revolves around themes of nature and animals that I personally adore.
My style has been influenced by European satirical illustrations.
Despite working at an artist’s studio for five years, my creative style is quite different from artists,
but their passion and perspective on creation influenced me a lot.
Q4. What was your creative process for this design? 請分享一下您這個設計的創作過程。
我們家有養寵物兔，長期關注兔子、動物相關議題，雖然寵物兔和野兔不是同個物種，
但外觀相似，我注意到以前父母年代常見的野兔面臨很大的生存壓力，畫了系列野兔表達支持！
以被救援的野兔小姐擔任封面，搭配野兔寶寶們印花為封底，營造自然繽紛、充滿生機的感覺。
We have a pet rabbit at home and have been consistently following rabbit and animal-related issues.
While pet rabbits and hare are not the same species, they share a similar appearance.
I noticed that hares, which were common in my parents’ generation, face significant survival pressures.
To express my support, I created a series of illustrations featuring hares.
For the cover design, I chose “Miss Lucky Hare,” a rescued hare,
and paired it with prints of baby hares for the back cover.
This combination aims to create a naturally vibrant and lively atmosphere.
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？
最困難的部份應該是想法吧，有想法剩下的就是與時間的賽跑囉，希望能在既定的時程完成工作內容。
The most challenging part is generating ideas; the rest is a race against time, hoping to complete the work within the designated time frame.
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？
希望大家使用幸運的野兔小姐手帳本，祝福大家幸運！
Through this cover, I hope to convey the message of luck and well wishes.
I want people to feel blessed and fortunate when using the “Miss Lucky Hare” notebook.
Q7. What is creativity mean to you? 創意對你而言是什麼
生活樂趣的來源吧？我喜歡設計各種東西，但沒辦法全部做出來，畫在圖畫裡相對容易很多，
所以設計吉鹿小舖世界裡的小動物服裝、場景、各種用具…都很開心。
Creativity is a source of joy in life for me.
While I enjoy designing various things, not everything can be physically created.
Drawing allows me to bring these ideas to life more easily, so designing animal outfits, scenes,
and various items in the world of Jingle Deer Creative Shop brings me immense happiness.
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？
希望能表現出小動物與自然的療癒力，讓人感到輕鬆愉快！並希望畫面能激發想像力，帶給人們看故事書般的感受。
I hope the cover evokes a sense of healing through the depiction of animals and nature,
providing a feeling of relaxation and joy.Additionally, I wish for the artwork to stimulate imagination,
offering readers a storybook-like experience.
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？
為自己訂下目標，並完成它。不要太在意流行或別人的看法，但儘量的嘗試。
For aspiring artists or creators entering the industry,
my advice is to set goals for yourself and work diligently to achieve them.
Don’t focus too much on trends or others’ opinions, but instead, try various approaches to find your unique voice.
