故事團團轉

by Jimmy Liao, 幾米

《故事的開始》是關於幾米創作繪本從一九九八年至二〇〇七年的幕後點滴，《故事團團轉》接續著來與大家聊聊二〇〇八年至二〇一三年的創作歷程。《故事團團轉》裡少有《故事的開始》裡的那種大喜大悲的故事——人生的大悲大喜不要那麼多比較好呀——而更重視在日常的狀況下，一位如上班族般工作的創作者，攤開空白畫紙怎麼去把作品畫出來，怎麼利用畫面去組構成一個故事，怎麼不斷推翻自己的故事又重新建立，把故事和自己的人生與思考搭建起來，並與讀者的感受產生關聯。

越進入創作的核心，越能感覺創作的神祕與龐大，了解自己的渺小。希望幾米小小的關於創作繪本經驗的新階段分享，可以讓你下次觀看任何作品時，跟幾米一樣體驗到那廣闊的美好。
