[交流] jimmy:pictures books for adults

Artists and authors use many different ways to talk about society: many write novels, while others paint pictures. An artist in Taipei has found a different way to talk about life, people, and the problems we all face. His name is Jimmy Liao, and he creates illustrated books.

Jimmy is both an illustrator and an author. He draw all of the colorful pictures in his books and writes all of the storylines. His small paperback books usually have only one or two lines of text per page, the rest being filled by his cute and simple drawings. Simplicity is one of Jimmy's strong points:he doesn't lose the reader in the complex plots or dialogues.

Jimmy's books speak to the readers about the ups and downs of lives in the modern world. One of his most popular stories, Turing Left, Turing Right, tells of a short romance between a couple that live next to each other. The lonely pair meet one day in the park and immediately fall in love. When they leave each other at the end of a fun-filled day, they exchange telephone numbers, but the rain causes the numbers to become illegible.They are unable to contact each other, and soon return to their lonely lives.

Sad, right? Don't start crying yet. There is a catch to the story.You see, this man and woman actually live in the same building! The problem is , when they leave their apartments, one always turns to the left, while the other always turns to the right. The result is they never realize they are neighbors.The lesson of the story?Life is in the details:things that seem small and insignificant can actually turn out to be important. And this is another of Jimmy's talents:he shows his readers how little things in life are often more important than we realize.
