毕业于曲阜师范大学，
没什么固定的创作方向，只想记录表达内心各种情绪，忠于真实的自己
创作对我来说是一个自我审视和自我思考的过程，不同的材质和手法，通过不同的表达方式，给我带来不一样的收获和结果
因为每个生活阶段的情绪和状态都是不同的，也导致创作出来的画面也带有相同气质的感觉，当拿起笔时，就会自然的表达出来，并享受这个过程
对我而言，我更喜欢那种生疏的创作状态，让自己最大限度保持陌生的状态，把已知熟练的技法控制在无法度得生疏感中，忠于自己的情感，在这种状态中创作往往带来一些意外的惊喜
内心就像有一头天不怕地不怕的野兽，渴望打破所有规则，所以一直以来小心翼翼保护着内心里那头野兽不受外界干扰，保持愤怒。
Spittoon
Spittoon Literary Magazine is the only literary magazine in China focusing on publishing the freshest Chinese literature translated into English. Named one of the ‘top literary magazines in Asia’, Spittoon Literary Magazine features poetry and fiction from voices not commonly heard in English.
CUE
CUE is a project born out of Spittoon – a creative arts collective based in Beijing and Chengdu. CUE, an acronym for Chinese Urban Expression takes the most innovative and promising young artists residing in China’s cities and commissions them to create comics.
Each issue of CUE will contain contributions from four to six artists hand-selected by our editorial team. Each artist is given 15 pages to develop their own stories and environments. One of the major goals of this project is to showcase a diverse array of artistic styles, narrative themes, and story-telling strategies. Some of our artists contribute self-contained single stories to the project, while others are developing concepts that will continue across multiple issues of the publication.

There are large reserves of untapped beauty and guile in the everyday, hiding in plain sight in fleeting moments. I try to find them.
If you live in Beijing, my photos will probably feel familiar. You’ll wonder if you saw that scene on your way here. You probably did.
FEI FEI is an illustrator living and working in Beijing.
Hole in the Wall is a collective founded by illustrators Jinna and Shui. We create illustrations inspired by Beijing’s underground culture, displaying them as zines, wall murals and prints. Overwhelmed by the vibrant energy of the city, we wanted to document the young, the excited and the lost. Hence the first issue of our zine was born. Since then we have taken part in various creative events and have published two more issues focusing on bars, hutongs and their inhabitants.
《Hole in the Wall》是一本由Jinna 和 Shui这两位插画师联合创办的插画小合集。我们的创作取材于北京地区，并以独立出版物、壁饰、插画作品等形式进行展览。由于深刻地体会到这个城市强大的生命力，我们想记录下生活在如此背景下的人儿。可以是正值芳华的年轻人，可以是事业得意的北漂族，也可以是失意迷茫的学生党等等。因此，我们第一本独立小杂志就这样诞生了。自那以后，我们便参加了很多和创意相关的活动和集会。这期间，我们在第一本的基础上又出版了两本独立小杂志。而这次，我们重点关注的是酒吧、胡同，以及活跃在里面的人们。
