“We always look for the light, hoping it will lead us to where we want to be. “Who am I? What am I?
In our search for hidden knowledge and self, we blindly pursue the light and happiness at the end of the tunnel through various methods and channels. The essence of occultism discusses the nature of matter and things.
Just as the Taipei Illustration Art Festival curates and discusses different themes every year, The ultimate goal is still FOCUS ON the creators and their WORKS. When we are well-fed and well-clothed, than we will search for our superego, and struggle to satisfy our desires. When the mind and body are spiritually rich, then we further explore the “spirit”, which is the “unknown mystery world” of the self.
The 6th Taipei Illustration FAIR uses illustration as a medium to lead people to explore the ” Occult “. In fact, what we seek for “Occult” is only THE “hidden knowledge”. Through the illustration, we combine four major fields in occult : cosmology, mysticism, prediction and magic; presenting them with common divination, tarot cards, magic, psychological tests, etc. Let illustration not just illustration!

Born and raised in Taipei, graduated
from the Product Design at Ming Chuan University in Taiwan and the
Master of Illustrator of the University of Creative Arts in the UK.
Weien is a person who seems a bit
shy, but she doesn’t like the meaningless rules. She likes to sneak a
rebellious person without affecting others and not violating morality.
She is interested in using sequential
imagery to tell stories about contemporary society. Her narrative
themes focus on social issues, in particular inequality in society. Her
narratives highlight cultural inequalities both in eastern and western
societies.
Weien uses beautiful and sometimes
decorative imagery to communicate darker and sinister narratives,
subverting our expectations and stereotypes of contemporary society.
The meaning of artistic creation for Weien is she could found recognition from herself and others through the works she made. She hopes that if she could be a successful artist, other children who also have the fond of arts could have a more comfortable path to the art career in Taiwan.
孫慶宴Sun Ching Yen,2017年八月從伯恩茅斯藝術大學畢業,就讀插畫係,專心研讀繪本故事寫作,目前 useless little things STUDIO 繼續圖像創作與接案。
2014年, Joseph, C. A pple, T. N ana. T.兩個好朋友 和 Sun 在英國合作的工作室。
成立 useless little things STUDIO沒有用的小東西工作室,名字來自於兒時被三個哥哥嬉(ㄑ 一)戲(ㄈ ㄨ ˋ)的回憶,家裡總會有一個你丟不掉,也不太理解可以做什麼,但經過看見它時,總會遲疑然後會心一笑的小東西。
Sun was born in Su-Ao, Taiwan. She
studied at Arts University Bournemouth. 2014, useless little things
STUDIO by Joseph, C. Apple, T. Nana. T. and Sun.
With good naive humor and honesty, useless little things STUDIO’s artworks talk to, and of, the ‘everyday’. The feeling ‘we’ve all been …’, creates an intimacy between illustration and viewer that connect the emotion and memory. Family, childhood memories, and experiences directly inspire most of our ideas for stories and illustrations as well as with the people we encounter.
There are some experiences in life that are so impressive, It should be more than just memories. It serves as a life record for us and also as a path to a secret message with such a self-oriented intention.
