让我也学着Wee Wonderful，数日子。

有个小常识，数年轮能数出树的年龄，真的很想知道，除了植物学家，到底有没有人会认真数过。Mytton Williams设计的一套2009年铅笔日历，用不同的顏色代表不同的月份，并把每一天都印在铅笔上，你会不会为了欣赏这支铅笔，耐心地每天削去一点点？

你是一只小妖怪，突然闯进我的生活，有时如阳光般带来欢乐，有时像小孩般四处捣乱，沉默的时候想着鬼主意，嬉戏的时候放肆大笑，还跳进我的梦里胡闹一番。搞不懂什么缘故，或许是再简单不过的一份感觉和默契，让you and me走在一起，如peasoup的豌豆pod card一样亲昵。

最近与《城市画报》创意市集合作了一本iMART。
感觉一般。可能是不喜欢这样的装订。国外采访的部分最有看头。想“创生意”的朋友也许可获得一些灵感。

等待本身，就带着惊喜。本来以为syl把我们约定的采访给忘了，但突如其来，她说，她还记得。
syl来自德国，现在生活在瑞士，她形容自己是一位贪吃的平面设计师，她总是感到肌饿，要一边设计一边吃。除了设计，她不是在做吃的，就是在吃。最欣赏的是她的sketchbooks。她的手稿调皮活泼，还即兴地贴着卡通和有趣的招贴，让我乐此不疲地翻了整个下午。

1.Tell me a bit about yourself.
Hello, my name is syl. I was born & raised in Bavaria (Germany). I studied in Germany & USA. Now I’m a graphic designer, illustrator & character designer, living and working in Switzerland.
I collect wallpapers and I’m always hungry. Actually, I have to get something to eat before I continue this interview. one moment please.

2.What keeps you inspired?
Daily life. traveling. eating.

3.I love your sketchbooks, would you describe your working procedure?
I am drawing in order to think, not the other way around as many people do.
I usually draw into one of my sketchbooks, then I scan the drawing and refine it on the computer if needed. either I color the drawing by hand or on the computer. sometimes i have to convert my drawings from pixels to vectors, in order to be able to make, e.g. flex prints for t-shirts.

4.Tell me about your creative work recently.
I was asked to design a small t-shirt collection for a Swiss fashion chain, which was something I’d always wanted to do. I was quite free to chose the motifs & colors, so it was really fun.

5.Describe your own character.
hmmm… difficult question! I’d said I’m quite a quiet person. although…I get angry sometimes, e.g. at my pencil when I don’t manage to draw something the way I want.

6.Which one of characters is your favourite in your cartoons?
Oh, don’t ask me that! if I pick one of my characters as a favourite now, the others will hate me for ever…(but I like kamikatze a lot, she’s so fun & crazy)

7.What would you doing if you weren’t designing?
Cooking (& eating!)

8.What can’t you living without? Why?
Chocolate! I’m seriously addicted.

9.What you hate most?
Besides wet towels I really hate hunger, injustice and violence.

10.Dream to be?
A mom!

Kraft board is one wearable material, it looks vintage.
And, you don’t need to worry the grease, dirt or water in your hands will mess up your notebook. The plain Kraft cover will recode your unique life track quietly. After someday, you will find those marks make your book more sophisticated.

Most time I find the notebook but no pen, they should be born together, perfectly together.
Therefore, I create Kraft Series 02.
