What would your fantasy world look like if you could create it? Taiwanese illustrator KINGJUN invites people into a unique realm of imagination with his vivid and colourful works. His artistic style blends pastel colours with whimsical extraterrestrial creatures, showcasing his boundless creativity and bringing laughter and wonder to every moment for his audience.

KINGJUN 的創作旅程離不開其父母的影響。母親的支持讓他在年幼之時便愛上繪畫，而他父親對於電影的熱情也深深影響了他的風格。「家庭電影日」的時光形塑了他對於黑色幽默的迷戀，讓他在創作中勇敢探索，讓荒誕與幽默並存。

KINGJUN’s creative journey has been profoundly influenced by his parents. His mother’s support nurtured his love for painting from a young age, while his father’s passion for film greatly shaped his artistic style. Family movie nights cultivated his fascination with dark humour, encouraging him to explore boldly in his creations, where absurdity and humour coexist.

KINGJUN小時夢想是開一間屬於自己的玩具店，但他國中時已意識到單憑玩具店可能無法賺取足夠的收入，於是開始打工，並規劃和創作周邊商品。國中畢業後，他便開始擺市集，到了高中時，他創立了自己的插畫品牌，取名「KINGJUN」，這是源自阿祖給他的親暱日本小名。隨著時間的推進，KINGJUN 開始在創作中尋求突破。起初，他的作品帶有強烈的獵奇色彩，甚至會遭遇批評。然而，這些經歷讓他學會聆聽與接受回饋，並在保持個人風格的同時逐步改進。

As a child, KINGJUN dreamed of opening his toy store. However, by middle school, he realized that relying solely on a toy store might not yield sufficient income. Thus, he began working part-time while also planning and creating merchandise. After graduating from middle school, he started participating in markets. By high school, he established his illustration brand named “KINGJUN,” inspired by the affectionate Japanese nickname given to him by his grandmother. Over time, KINGJUN sought breakthroughs in his creations. Initially, his works had a strong curiosity-driven style that sometimes faced criticism. However, these experiences taught him to listen to feedback and gradually improve while maintaining his unique style.

KINGJUN 十分鍾愛玩具。從各式復古玩具到特異的收藏品，他的工作室就像一個兒時夢想的寶庫。工作室的設計隨意而充滿趣味，彰顯出他的個性與創意理念。KINGJUN 的世界是美式風格老玩具的融合，他在這些收藏中幻想著創造出各式外星生物。這些獨特的生物生活在他所構想的宇宙中，並在充滿鮮豔顏色的插畫中生動展現。鮮亮的螢光綠成為他風格的標誌，象徵著那個充滿夢想又不受現實束縛的外太空。

KINGJUN has a deep love for toys. His studio resembles a treasure trove of childhood dreams, from various vintage toys to unique collectables. The studio’s casual and playful design reflects his personality and creative philosophy. KINGJUN’s world is a fusion of American-style vintage toys, where he imagines various extraterrestrial creatures. These unique beings inhabit the universe he envisions and vividly appear in his brightly coloured illustrations. The vibrant neon green has become a hallmark of his style, symbolizing a dream-filled, unrestrained outer space.

KINGJUN 的創作堅持與熱愛使他在藝術領域中嶄露頭角。他每一幅作品都是一個充滿想象力的邀請，讓人們一起探索那個充滿色彩與驚喜的異想宇宙。

KINGJUN’s dedication and passion for art have made him stand out in the artistic realm. Each of his works is an imaginative invitation, allowing people to explore a universe brimming with colour and surprise.
