ABOUT SKB18SKB18 is an online magazine that four friends and I established in 2006 in

order to let our creative spirit keep glowing after graduating from college. All

of us are editors. We take turns to publish our magazine on the 18th of every

month. Each month’s editor will decide a theme and we create works by the

theme. In order to separate our magazine form others, we choose the most

common and cheapest media--ball point pen as our core material. We believe

creativity should not be limited by technology and specific tools. Our content

also includes interviews of creative people all over the world in a variety of

different fields such as graphic design, architecture, art, illustraton, etc ) We also

invite others to contribute their rendition of the magazine theme of the month.

This part is the extraction of my works in the magazine. See how the little pen

did in SKB18!!

ABOUT BUG WANGI was born in 1983 in Taiwan, neither an artist nor a designer. I have been associated with art for more than 20 years. I just graduated from Pratt Institute from their Graduate Communication design program.

I am a thinker and a doer. To observe and explore the phenomena underneath the surface of things are my profession. My desire is to apply my observation experiences and my works to influence people’s behavior and uplift their physical and mental life.

SKB18 ONLINE MAGAZINE ISSUE7 SELF PORTRAIT

SELF PORTRAIT---I THUS SPOKE“Everthing I do always comes back to me”---Stefan Sagmeister

There is a saying that no matter how great an artist can paint, when he draws a portrait, it will look like himself eventually. Even the famous painting “Mona Lisa” does have Da Vinci’s self reflection in it.

Therefore, in order to create a realistic portrait, it’s better to draw a self-portrait.

The process of drawing self-portrait is the process of projecting one’s inner images outside.

SKB18 ONLINE MAGAZINE ISSUE12 MAN AND WOMAN

MAN AND WOMAN---THE GENDER OF A PENDo you know that a pen has a gender?Do you know the pen you use is a male or a female?There are some clues for you to make out the gender of your pens. 1. By sexual characteristics2. By color impression3. By the height of the heel4. By the length of hairs5. By the outfit

If those methods don’t work, I can just say: Even humans are hard to distinguish their sexuality, let alone the pen!
