(English below) 萬華是台北市最歷史悠久的區域之一，也是最適合漫步、最有趣的一區。我一直想仔細探究龍山寺一帶，而描繪此地是再適合不過的機會了。龍山寺周遭的市場與其他古蹟保存完善，許多人認為這一帶已經沒落，事實上，在過去這十年，萬華成功地翻身了。隨著創作的進展，畫作自然呈現扇. 此畫將沒有複印件出售，但台北系列明信片部分內容截自本畫。可以買在這裡: (賣了) https://www.overthecityshop.com/products/wanhua
Wanhua is one of the oldest districts in Taipei and one of the most interesting to wander around. I've always wanted to take a closer look at the streets around Longshan Temple and drawing them is a good way of doing it. Along with the temple there are other well-preserved old streets and markets. A lot of people think of the area as one in decline but it's been turning its fortunes around over the past decade. The fan shape of this drawing developed naturally over the course of making it. I will not be making open edition prints of this drawing, though part of it appears in my Taipei postcard series and I may use it for a couple of other things like that.

新台幣50%將以買家的名義捐給台灣芒草心慈善協會，該公益組織旨在照顧當地街友，我不禁注意到，相較於五到十年前，這一帶多了不少無家可歸者，我無法想像自己如何能畫他們生活的這片土地，而對他們的困難視若無睹. https://www.homelesstaiwan.org/

Half of the sale price will be donated in the buyer's name to the Homeless Taiwan charity. They are helping homeless people in the area. It did not escape my notice that the area has a lot more people who are down on their luck than I'd noticed five or ten years ago. I'd love to make it 100% but not quite in that position yet! https://www.homelesstaiwan.org/
