导读:微博漫画红人、深夜治愈大师Tango,"一日一画“,想法极具创意,人气极高,脑洞大开的画风吸粉无数,成为深夜不睡族一剂温暖良药。
When Gao Youjun graduated from the School of Mathematics at Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 1989, he decided to pursue his dream of drawing by completing a major in design at the Academy of Arts & Design, Tsinghua University.
1989年,从上海交通大学数学系毕业后,高幼军决定追随自己画画的梦想,选择进入清华大学美术学院转攻设计专业。
After that, he entered the prosperous advertising industry, when almost every advertiser was fairly enthusiastic and eloquent.
清华硕士毕业后,高幼军进入繁荣的广告业,这个时期广告业是一片璀璨,广告商是相当富有激情,相当雄辩的。
Gao’s style was always deliberate and he presented his freehand stories-which are lively and intuitive, and more than just beautiful words-in a soft voice. It was during these years that he began to enjoy drawing in his spare time using his pen-name, Tango, which is now more recognized than that of Gao.
高幼军作画总是反复构思,谈及自己徒手作画的故事,他是娓娓道来,那是一些生动直观,却又胜似一切华丽语言的故事。就是在那些年间,他开始用笔名“Tango"坚持在业余时间作画。现在,Tango这个名字,可比他的本名辨识度高多了。
A good advertiser requires a creative mind. Luckily, his alter-ego Tango helps Gao harness extraordinary insight, imagination and endless inspiration.
一位优秀的广告人需要拥有创造性思维。幸运的是,作为他性格另一面的Tango赋予了其非凡的视角,卓越的想象力和源源不断的灵感。
At the end of 2010, Tango uploaded an extremely whimsical doodle, "How Does An Elephant Pick His Nose", on Chinese social media Weibo. After this initial upload, Tango continued to upload one drawing each day for more than three years.
2010年末,Tango上传了一副无厘头漫画到微博上:大象如何摸到它的鼻子。这是他初次上传漫画作品,自此后三年时间里,Tango坚持每日一画,上传到微博。
It is Tango’s dream to draw non-business comics with which he can help others and himself. He hopes such drawings can act as an escape for urbanites that suffer from the pressure of life and work, allowing them to feel the beauty of the world.
Tango的梦想是通过创作非营利性漫画,帮助别人也帮助自己。他希望他的漫画,可以成为都市人逃离生活、工作双重压力的一种出口,让重压之下的都市人能停下来感受世界的美好。
The works, collectively known as "A Doodle A Day", most often exemplify his funny and inspiring ideas, but sometimes include barely satisfactory works, which he struggled to create for fans waiting until late at night. Starting from an unknown and lonely advertiser who drew only for himself, Tango has become a comic celebrity on Weibo who shares his laughter and energy with the world.
Tango的作品,统称为“一日一画”,大多作品都诙谐搞逗,脑洞大开,但也有一些不成功的画作,是他为坐等到深夜的粉丝们尽力创作的。从一个只为自己作画的孤独的无名广告人起家,现今的Tango已经是一名微博漫画红人,全世界都在分享他的欢笑、他所传递的能量。
Thus far, he has completed more than 1,200 drawings, thanks to his persistent work to entertain others and himself. Last year, his first comic book, "Sleepless", was published, containing a selection of his comic drawings from the past three years.
迄今,Tango已经完成创作逾1200幅,这得归功于他坚持不懈娱乐大众、娱乐自己的毅力。去年,他的首部漫画书《睡不着》结集出版,囊括了其过去三年的漫画精选。
Tango’s doodles have a simple, fluent and funny style. His humor is obvious even without words and thinking. Everything he draws has its own expression. Even air has a shape and a piece of bread can be a protagonist.
Tango的漫画,线条简单、流畅,画风幽默。他的幽默,无需只言片语就展现得淋漓尽致。他所画的每样事物,都有自己的表情。就连无色无味的空气在他的笔下,也都有了自己的形态,一片面包也可以成为主角。
"We should seek the joy and surprise in our daily life," he said. "No matter how small we are and how frustrating life is, we shall endeavor to feel ’alive’."
“我们应当在日常生活中寻找乐趣、惊喜,”他说,“不管我们多么渺小,不管生活多么不尽如人意,我们都得努力去体会“活着”这一状态。”
