● Red-Haired Race Illustration Design Products Display
Uncle and his younger sister created a group of elves called "Red-Haired Race," who walk barefoot and have foot hair. Walking barefoot represents a love for the natural land, and having foot hair represents keeping their innate characteristics. This conveys the concepts of (loving the world) and (being yourself).
The product items include postcards, pencils, tableware, badges, cups, and canvas bags. Since 2012, they have been setting up stalls at creative markets, and in 2016, they established a physical studio in the Dadaocheng area, developing products with local cultural elements and showcasing their original illustrations.

● Dadaocheng Area Tour and Teaching
Dadaocheng is one of the earliest developed areas in Taipei. It is now approximately the area east of the Tamsui River, between Taipei Bridge and Zhongxiao West Road, known as the Dajiang area, and west of Chongqing North Road. In the past, due to the advantages of the river port and shipping, the economy and cultural activities were very active, generating many touching stories. Many unique buildings are still preserved, and many traditional industries are clustered here. In recent years, many new ventures have also chosen to develop in Dadaocheng.
After starting our creation in the Dadaocheng area, we found many interesting things to share with others. We have planned a 2-hour area tour and a 2-hour illustration teaching session. The area tour will introduce the history of Dadaocheng, the architectural cultural features around Dihua Street, starting from the intersection of Yanping North Road and Nanjing West Road, passing through Guide Street, Dadaocheng Wharf, Dihua Street, Minsheng West Road, etc., sharing the cultural stories of Dadaocheng. The illustration teaching session will start with simple exercises using colored pencils, technical pens, and watercolors, demonstrating illustration styles. Participants will first set the theme they want to draw, such as people or street scenes, and the illustrator will share how to create and draw their own postcards.
