Born in Taipei,
1968. Studied Western Painting at Fu-hsin Trade & Arts Show, and worked as
creative director at Dentsu, Young and Rubicam, and has won numerous awards,
including China Times Advertising Award, 4A Creative Awards, Creativity Awards,
and New York Festival Advertising Awards.
In 2004, he gave up his
15-year career in advertisement, and dedicated himself to creating comics. As a
child, Chang was a fan of Yukinobu Hoshino, father of Japanese science fiction
comics, and his work has been very much inspired by him. He draws in realistic
styles, illustrating science fiction and fantastic themes. He creates to “bring
life to the fantasies in his mind.” Comic to him is organic and full of
unlimited possibilities, and comic artists have persistent creative energy.
Chang Sheng now focuses on
creating comics and illustrations, such as a 3D Alice in Wonderland Children’s
Story Hall and covers for Apple electronics magazine. He’s been experimenting
with oil painting, and has exhibited his work in Shanghai, China. He also
worked with an art deco company, Between Creation & Art, to lift his oil
painted Alice from the pages, and created 3D sculptures. He continues to
explore the artistic possibilities in comic art.
His work Stanle and
X-Girl were serialized in Taiwan, and have been published in France and
Italy. Chang Sheng is still actively producing new work, with OLDMAN
serializing in Dongli’s bimonthly Dragon Youth.
