Hello,I'm Nana~~~

       My name is Lina Fan , and many friends  often call me nana, maybe it's much easier to remember.（in china，a lot of young people know the film named NANA, adapted from Japanese comic book of the same name.our Japanese classmate name is nanae,my name only need delete  “e”.  ）

      My best time i think may be in the fine arts school,in there i have learned drawing,gouache and oil painting for long time,and our teacher told us western art history. Then, I'm graduated of the university of Beijing Film Academy. The lens language and animation software make me very tired. 

     In my work time,I became a teacher in a high school,but I think the time was wasting,so try to do my own studio. Just the  studio have two guys，sometime we can't have large work. Then I changed my job secondly,I would like to make more money by myself，but it is still defeated. these years are very valuable and it give me inspiration to build the personal independence and make me maturely.

     I chose to  stay in london，perhaps meeting some surprising things ，I hope that my life is  full  of passion, and hope me  became a good friend with all the artists in our class~~~

Borough Market

I went to the Borough Market on last Friday and found an interesting store. A very very big picture hung up in front of the door. Now I have uploaded a photo about it.

Hello This is Nanae

I talk about myself and my studying history...



I have drawn pictures since I was a child.
The reason why I decided to study art at art university, because I wanted to study art as professional, and wanted to be an illustrator or an artist.

In Japan the system of enter university is difficult. Because we have to take some examination which are dessin(sorry it's French...like sketch), painting of colour composition, Japanese and English.
I studied dessin and painting of colour composition at cram school after I finished high school.
I passed a examination of Tama Art University which course is Graphic Design Department.
There are a lot of famous alumni so I wanted to go there.
However I forgot my drawing style because examination's studying was hard.
So until I upped to be a third year student, I was searching my style.
At first I found my favourite music, fashion design and favourite pictures because I like them which give me dream.
And then I drew that kind of pictures.
I introduce one of artists Hiroshi Tanabe who is a fashion illustrator.
We can see his works here→　http://www.hiroshitanabe.com/

Next I wanted my style concretely, I watched some movies about women's violent feelings.
I always draw women's pictures, I can't draw men. I don't know. But recently I understand that they have violent emotions. It's interesting.
When I was from third year to forth year student, I studied illustration and animation.
I haven't finished animation project, I will finish it some day.
The reason why I chose animation class I wanted to find other method of illustration.

About my graduation project, I made books and posters of young girl's feeling.


While I go to university I joined not only art festival of my university but also some art festival in Japan called 'Design Festa' and 'GEISAI'.
I always study in there because I think that illustration is in between art and design. I am really confused.
I want to decided my stance during my Camberwell College of Arts days.

I have an excellent senior Hana Akiyama who is a daughter of my illustration's professor.
Her works are very cute and make us comfortable.
Her website is →　http://www.hanaakiyama.com/
And I have my favourite websites

http://www.d-bros.jp/
http://yugop.com/

I am so inspired with them. My favourite style is not one. I like several style of art.

Also I have my works website →　http://www.barbaratics.com/
Please enjoy it!
Thank you very much.

About Shupeng Yang

Hi, everybody, I come from china and my chinese name is Shupeng Yang, also, you can call me "Big mouse" or "Stephen".

I studied 'Film Animation & Digital Art' in my bachelor course at Guangzhou Academy of Fine Art which is placed on the city to hold the 2010 Asia Olympic Games.

The reason I come here is to open up my eyes and think over my way forward. One day, I see Randy Pausch's Last Lecture in the internet that enlight me to explore the interactive field, such as interactive games, virtual reality or digital arts. Different from most of yours with strong experiences of enterprise, I have only two short internships in university and company. So I am just a fresh guy graduted from school. I love thinking and predicting, unfortunately, as an animation maker, I must be always working. I like religion, literature, moving picture, film, modern arts and the instinct of human and I wish to combine those things together to create a virtual world for people in the interative field. But now, I can only contribute my animation skill to the society.

And my hobbies, football is one of my most favourite sport, if you interest that, might be one day we can go together to the London's football bar, having a drink and watching the games of our favourite football teams. Also, I like to learn different languages but my japanese teacher(also my girl friend now) said that your forgeting is faster than your learning. So, ennnn, leck of talent on this field :)..Last but not least, I like to be a model for photogragher:0.

Finally, very nice to meet everyone. Let me self-introduce again by animation. This is an animation of my chinese name: 楊舒鵬

If you want to know more about my animation works, please click the webs below.

Let me introduce myself

Hello~!

My name is Jae Ho Hwang and you can call me 'JAE'. It's easier for you to memorize instead of my full name. I come form South korea and I was born in July 1980 in Dae-Gu which is one of the big city in south-east of my country. It is also well known as fashion and fabric industry city. I studied 'Animation & Cartoon' in undergraduate course at university which is placed in Seoul where is the capital of South Korea. It helped me specialise about my works and realise what I want to do. After I finished my BA Course, I used to worked for MTV Korea as boradcast designer for 2 years . When I worked this company, I really enjoyed my job despite being demanding, stressful, working shift by super heavy workload because fundamentally, I love motion graphic, music as well as unique MTV design style works. MTV has been a big part of my life since I was a teenager. Furthermore, this company gave my career a kick-start. However I decided to move to UK for more broad self development.

And, recently, I always have been being interested in link between image and moving, also link between sound and moving ~! it's fun~!

Finally, I hope to have a great time with everyone.

thank~

Hey every one~

I'm Zhe Chen come from China and everyone can just call me Coy,

maybe it's much easier to remember.^ ^

I was born in Shanghai in August 1987.

(So It seems I'm the youngest in the class. 0 0)

I started to love drawing and painting at my childhood.

I think it is my nature to draw pictures on the blank paper and fill colors in any blank fields. I continued learning arts for a few years until I became very busy on my high school Mathematics and Physics.

However, I choose Multi-Media Design as my undergraduate course at university which I think is a relative subject to my original hobby -- design & creation.

And then after the study in my university, I fall in love with layout design, motion graph design, Website creation and everything include beauty and creation.

In my third academic year, I had wonderful chance went to Korea, I forced on

interaction design during that time, had an idea of Ubiquitous and User Experience, which I never concerned about. Then I realize how amazing the interaction is and began to learn more about interaction design.

Also it was a great experience when I was in Korea. I had a great enjoyment of knowing Korea cultural, the traditional food, people and the city. Although it was an asia country either, but there is so much difference from China, Korea is more international and bicultural.

After I came back to China, I attended some competitions in advertising, It's challenging, fun and also broaden my horizon. After that I worked for some interactive advertising companies and studios as an interaction designer. One of them named Energy Source is one of the biggest interactive advertising companies in China, but it's quite boring and less creative, it just not what I want.

So I came to London which has a superb stage and environment for Interactive Media. I dream could have chance to learn more about Interactive Media in London, so one day all the magic and advanced media works could be showed in my country as well.

By the way, I really keen on photography.

There are some pics of London in here,

hope you will enjoy them.

So if you also love photography, please connect with me : )

Hello everyone, my name is Ying-Tze, Chen. I was born on October 10th, 1984. I come from Taiwan, which is a small but beautiful island. I like reading novels, listening music, and painting in my daily life, it makes me feel relax and cheerful. 

After I graduated from the university, I started my internship in an elementary school as an Art teacher. I taught students about painting and creating artifact. Besides, I took students join the compete about creating traditional lanterns. It’s a good experience for me to learn about the traditional arts and skills of Chinese. 

With one year internship and two years working in the university as an assistant, I still want to learn more about the illustrtion and I decided to study in UK because it has a lot famous design courses, relative surroundings and I think I could update my skills, knowledge, and also  have new friends and life experiences in a different country. It will make me grow up and have new sight in everything.
