Orang kat sana rindu orang kat sini. Orang kat sini rindu orang kat sana. Patutnya we all sama2 kat Paris dah sekarang ni after London & Manchester. Eurostar Train ticket and rumah di Paris semua dah bayar. Tapi apa kan daya, #MawaRaf kena balik awal dulu 😖 Sebab last minute kena attend few events. It’s ok cous, we plan lain. Next stop Madrid...and London Manchester again 🤣

(English below) 6/6 巴黎北站 Gare du Nord, Paris
2009年當我在巴黎北站時,我決定要畫一張巴黎地圖。在前往倫敦的歐洲之星出發前,我有大約一小時的時間,我在車站內外閒晃了一會,我想應該是這個車站有什麼特點啟發了我的想像力,當時我完全不知道這些圖畫會多麼的影響著我大部分的生活(甚至畢業後我搬到臺灣)。十年後,我有一個衝動要再回頭做一些和巴黎相關的工作,從北站開始。我想要仔細研究並重現當時我讚嘆不已的雕像和正面細節,那是一座很大的建築,所以我先從較小也較簡單的奧斯特里茲站做練習。附近是里昂車站,那裡很美,雖然我對那裡並沒有私人情感,但我還是忍不住要畫它。到那時,已經是巴黎一半的車站(現在仍然是車站),所以我決定先完成蒙帕納斯、聖拉查和東站。每一站都有它獨特的特性和風格,當我有太多的大案子要完成時,這是很令人愉快的消遣。然而,當天花板漏水在幾乎要完成的北站圖上時,就沒那麼愉快了,我必須全部重畫!
這是北站,整幅的最後一部分。如果你對任何的原始圖有興趣,請私訊我,九月之後我樂意接受製作這類繪圖的費用。
While I was in the Gare du Nord in 2009 I decided to draw a map of Paris from above. I had an hour or so before the Eurostar to London and spent a while wandering around inside and outside the station. I guess something about the station inspired some creativity. I had no idea then how much these drawings would shape a big part of my life (or even that I'd move to Taiwan after graduation). Ten years later I had an urge to circle back and do some Paris related work again, starting with Nord Station. I wanted to study and recreate the statues and facade details I'd admired back then. It's a huge building so I started with the smaller and simpler Gare D'Austerlitz as practice. Nearby is the Gare De Lyon. It's beautiful and though I have no personal connection to it I knew I couldn't stop myself drawing it. By then that was half the stations in Paris (that are still stations). So I decided to complete the set with Montparnasse, Lazare and Est. Each station has it's own personality and style. It's been an enjoyable distraction during a time when I had too much other work to take on big projects. However when the ceiling leaked on a nearly complete Nord it was less enjoyable and I had to redraw the whole thing!
Here is Nord, the last in the set. If you are interested in any of the original drawings please message me. I'd be willing to accept commissions for this type of drawing after September.
