【Introduction of Labels】
《我們甚至不確定那是不是水》
這座城市建在一片不確定的表面上。看起來像水，卻聽不見波聲，也沒有倒影。
機械結構彼此相連，像是隨時準備移動，卻臨時停了過久的時間。
仍持續亮著的幾道微光，可能是通訊訊號，也可能是維生系統的殘留迴路，透露中心圓塔的脈動仍在運行，像是還沒完全關閉的核心。
城市最初是依著某個人的容貌設計的，現在已經完全不像了。
【Introduction of Artist】
Steve McDonald 加拿大插畫家
Steve Mcdonald is a widely recognized Canadian illustrator. His work has taken many forms over the years but he is best known for his highly detailed line drawings and fantastical illustrations of both architecture and landscapes. He is an international best-selling author and illustrator with his coloring book series from Chronicle Books. Recently he produced four new sketch books with Field Notes as their spring 2023 editions. A few past notable clients include Architectural Digest, Blueman Group, Amazon Prime, Entertainment Weekly, and The Atlantic.
To classify Steve's work one should look at his influences: Moebius, Terry Gilliam, Luc Besson, Imperial Boy, Hayao Miyazaki, Roger Dean, Noriyoshi Ohrai, Looney Tunes, and then painters like the Canadian Group of Seven, N.C. Wyeth, Norman Rockwell, and Frank Frazetta. His new work could be best described as 'escapist fantastical realism'. Steve believes almost all approaches and tools are legitimate as long as the work you are producing is striving to be singular and unique. He also believes in having fun and hopefully making you smile! Steve was educated at The Ontario College of Art and Design. He was born in Toronto, Canada and has lived in India, Indonesia, Italy, Saudi Arabia and Canada. He has two grown daughters and a wonderful partner and presently lives in rural Ontario.
