The life of street youth, beautiful girls and self-ideals, stray cats, guitars, cigarettes and dumbbells are all vividly displayed in ONEDAY. Benjamin, whose brain cells all grow on the CPU, may be lonely one day. The feelings infiltrated in comics are also infected with helpless sadness, but they are still obsessed with invincible crazy fantasies. These cartoonists are fools who carve romance that can't be eaten as food into their bones. They are self-righteous and happy all the way. No matter how dismally they run their own lives, they wear sharp metal awns, tough black leather coats and collars close to their throats as if they were a thorny teenager, blindly selling shallow smiles and painstakingly created cartoons. They rock like singer Wu Bai, no matter where they stand next.
It will always be like this, eager to forget, pursue, get tired, give up the loss, recall, and eternal reincarnation.
The new book Memory sells well. The Sanskrit edition has just been published in Malaysia, and the French edition is under negotiation. Benjamin won the honor for the original comic book of China, which was just started. The Basement is his first novel. No matter in words or cartoons, he tried to break through himself and replace the reality of society. Integrity, kindness, full of concern for social problems. In today's decadent and selfish literary and art circles, it is an alternative.
In 2009, he published "True Color No.65438 +0 Blue".

The life of the character
Benjamin is a famous cartoonist, novelist and illustrator in China. He is famous for his watercolor painting style completely different from Japanese style, and he is also the person who made chinese comic gain an international image. The publication of 200 1 Benjamin's first novel "One Day" brought a new trend to China's original cartoons and influenced countless young people who were interested in cartoons and illustrations at that time. Benjamin created a brand-new color realistic cartoon style, and introduced the superb painting techniques of pure art and the deep and passionate philosophy of life into the original art of pure entertainment and black and white.

Personal work
Introduction of main works
Painting collection
One-day introduction to the new edition;
Full of youthful helplessness and fantasy, the painting style is freehand and flamboyant, and the works are heavy and ethereal. From the wild composition, bitter and pampered brushwork, rampant and unrestrained colors, there is a sense of arrogance. Among them, exaggerated and unrealistic stories and living conditions, through the eyes of simple art gangsters, lead to individual nostalgia for a certain life or memory.
Introduction to "Remember":
A cartoon about "loss" and "pursuit" describes how a boy who pursues a comic dream is only addicted to his own world, thus ignoring his life and love around him.
It was not until one day that I lost my love that I suddenly realized that the original pursuit existed in my previous life. China's top cartoonist, a handsome boy from the north, mixed in "The Basement", and a group of musicians performed the story of yearning for ideals, and there was also a cat.
novel
The novel "the basement"
A group of young people gathered in Beijing in the name of music, took the basement as their residence and staged a series of plays. The clue is Xiao Hang. In order to pursue the rock spirit, he joined Yafei's band from his hometown to Beijing, witnessing the difficulty of the band's survival and the disintegration of the band. Xiao Hang went to Xinjiang after his musical ideal hit a wall. After being robbed, he made a living by singing. There he met his first love girlfriend for a long time, was shocked by this long change, and left her in a rage and went back to his hometown. Bored to see the great changes of Ghost Six, I was stimulated. I returned to Beijing, first as a white-collar worker, and met Yafei, who still stuck to his musical ideal, in the paradise bar to commemorate the old gun. Inspired, he quit his job, bid farewell to the girl who loved him and went back to the basement.
The novel where are we going?
This autobiographical novel is a new work by Benjamin, a cartoonist, after a year's careful experience of Japanese and Korean cartoons and best-selling novels, and trying to find out the characteristics of their characters, language and scene changes. Where are we going represents the first mature question about life after 80s.
Dramatic painting
Drama painting "orange"
Content: High school girls' fear and expectation of entering the real society. She announced suicide to relieve her troubles. It has been published in China. It has been published in Europe.
Dramatic painting "Savior"
Content: The Savior crossed several different worlds, trying to save mankind. Each process is completely different from that in the gospels. He discusses "love", "hate" and "life" respectively. The savior is also confused by worldly desires, but his greatest confusion is his purity.
You still work so hard, even though you know this is not our time at all.
You will feel uncomfortable standing anywhere.
Regardless of the bus stop that is not queued.
Or pulpit and counter.
There is no need to exist, because there are many ordinary young people like us in China.
Dead or alive, it is destined to be a small dust.
Benjamin's new drama and painting "The Savior" says on the first page: This international artist, who is famous for his literal realism and gorgeous and decadent painting style, seems to have brought us more realistic works. Before you see it, everything is unknown. Maybe you like it better, maybe you hate it more, but you can guarantee that it is completely different from the previous works.
The work "Savior" is not a cartoon, but a "dramatic painting" work. The play "Savior" is Benjamin's first attempt at fantasy theme, and it is also Benjamin's first collaboration with his good friend Li Ming. Prior to this, Mr. Li Ming drew and published dozens of best-selling comic works, and was the first great painter to publish his works outside the mainland. These two strongmen form the strongest creative team in China, and Savior will be a brand-new attempt for this team.
This is a book describing the living conditions of a young man with wings. His profession is the savior. The question is, is his redemption really needed? Does he really like saving others?
The story is divided into several paragraphs. Except the savior himself, each story has a completely different world and a completely different protagonist, and discusses several themes in turn, such as "hatred", "unbalanced love" and "a life that can be repented".
The world of the Savior is not the real world, but a world we don't know whether it really exists. Even, it is many completely different worlds. The savior walked through these true and false worlds, and his task was to save the world and save mankind. In the first story, the savior lost his memory and completely forgot his mission in this world. He lives at the bottom of the world and even falls in love with a passing girl. Until one day, there was a huge crisis in the world, so he woke up in the usual way. The story is not novel, but our book has the ability to let you see a novel world that you have never seen before. Everything is so different, so profound, so unexpected, and it seems that it should be.
This book contains a large number of unpublished fantasy business illustrations since Mr. Benjamin's Chronicle. This is Benjamin's latest and most comprehensive photography award.
