「一群我想像中的貓，懷抱著各自的小夢想，展開一段段奇幻旅程，留下了可愛的足跡。」—— JAN

JAN 是一位來自馬來西亞砂拉越的插畫創作者，在台灣生活近十年。她選擇在忙碌之餘以畫筆療癒自己，也希望能帶給他人溫暖與力量。因著對台灣巷弄故事、懷舊老物和古早味美食的喜愛，她的作品多以這些元素作為創作背景。

自幼熱愛繪畫的 JAN，以家鄉古晉——這座有「貓城」之稱的城市為靈感，於 2022 年創作了三隻貓室友的日常漫畫系列。她的夢想，是讓插畫成為傳遞正能量的媒介，讓人們在快節奏的生活中獲得療癒與共鳴。

作為利多貓潮玩品牌的合作插畫家，JAN 將原創插畫與潮流文化巧妙結合，讓潮玩不只是收藏品，更是一種富含情感與故事的藝術表達。本次插畫藝術節中，除了展出多幅精彩作品，JAN 也將首次公開限量利多貓公仔，作為品牌贊助亮點之一，並透過多樣形式展現利多貓的插畫魅力。

“A group of imagined cats, each carrying a little dream, embarking on whimsical journeys and leaving behind adorable snapshots.” — JAN

JAN is an illustrator from Sarawak, Malaysia, who has been living in Taiwan for nearly a decade. In her spare time, she began creating art to soothe her own soul—and hopefully, others’. Deeply inspired by Taiwan’s story-rich alleyways, vintage treasures, and nostalgic street food, JAN often sets her works against these beloved backdrops.

Passionate about drawing since childhood, JAN draws inspiration from her hometown Kuching—known as the “City of Cats.” In 2022, she launched a comic series featuring three cat roommates, bringing to life charming stories filled with warmth and humor. Her dream is to use her art to spread positivity and offer a sense of healing in today’s fast-paced world.

As a collaborating illustrator with Retrocat Art Toys Co., LTD., JAN fuses original illustrations with pop culture, transforming collectible figures into heartfelt works of art. At this illustration art festival, she will not only showcase her latest pieces but also unveil a limited-edition Retro Cat art toy inspired by her signature character—marking its debut as a sponsor-exclusive highlight. Her illustrated works will also appear in various creative forms throughout the exhibition.
