The Doors

The story is about two men  who live in their generation , and one day they just take a walk as usual and go back home.   However, when they open the door, they see the decoration is different from their owns . They change to each other’s.

The better way to read this book is turning both side of the pages at the same time. I created the symmetry illustrations so that the readers can compare the different life of two characters.

Hand-made Book 手工書

This vision is one of the projects what I have made for master degree in Kingston University. The whole part of it is hand-made and print by HP printer. I really like the texture of cover. I forgot the name of this cover paper. I found it near the painting tool shop in Kingston town in London.
這個版本是在我就讀倫敦金斯頓大學期間的一個專案。整本都是我自己手工製作,由於我是用電腦繪圖,上面插圖的印刷我就只是用一般的HP列表機。我蠻喜歡封面的紙的材質,但我忘記這個紙的名字,我是在學校附近小鎮的美術社找到的,我記得是個義大利的名字。

Publishing Book 印刷本

This vision is the one which self-publishing by crowdfunding in Taiwan in 2014. I change the texture of cover to canvas because the original one is too hard to keep it. And there is an ISBN now. “The Doors " becomes a real book.
這個版本在2014年,在台灣藉由群眾募資的方式自費出版成書。為了讓封面更容易保存,因此材質上改成畫布而不是使用原本的材質。然後兩扇門有ISBN了,他現在是一本真的書。

右邊門裡的男人叫做尼克,他就像現代的許多人一樣,一個人住在倫敦的公寓,吃飯、看電視、外出散步也都是一個人。即使因為有點孤單而養了一隻狗,對小狗卻也是常常不理不睬。左邊門裡的男人叫做查理,是位活在一百多年前維多利亞時期的英國紳士。雖然他的日常生活都有家人們陪伴,但他仍是一個孤獨的人,總是忽略了可愛的小姪女瑪麗。兩個時空,兩個孤單的靈魂,直到一天回家推開門,他們竟不小心闖入了對方的世界……
