「我的靈感大多來自某些當下的感受，或是人們的行動，然後我很喜歡去思考該怎麼把那種情緒或是行為，連結到我的畫上面。」 —— 插畫家Kim Sujin
就像一位默默坐在一旁卻豎起耳朵留心傾聽的觀察者，聽別人的、也聽自己的。她總能把任誰都有過卻難以言喻的情緒傳達得很到位。
“Most of my inspirations come from certain moments that strike me, or how people react to things. I love to ponder on how to connect such emotions and behavior with my drawings,” said the illustrator Kim Sujin.
Like a quiet observer with ears widely opened to listen to the voices of others and her own, she can always capture our most familiar but yet inexplicable sentiments in a concise manner.
口袋總是帶著筆，觀乎周遭正在發生的事，運用簡單的黑線條，在哪都能畫。大概是處於這種即興的創作狀態，才能迎接總是無預警地蹦出來的狀況。「畫畫本身其實是一件很簡單輕鬆的事情。」像看待生活，太用力有時反而會觸礁。
Always carrying a pen in her pocket and keeping an eye out for the surroundings, she only needs a few simple black lines to make illustrations anywhere. Such an improvisational style allows her to tackle any impromptu situation. “Illustrating is intrinsically a very simple and relaxing matter”. Perhaps this is like life itself, you should never force too hard, otherwise, you will just get the opposite sometimes.
作品裡的幽默來自共鳴，來自很多我們都懂、縱然無可奈何也還是需要面對的各種合理不合理。尤其在力不從心的時候來看看她的畫，頗像一杯適時的咖啡，能把低迷混沌稍微稀釋，沖散一點點衝突與焦慮。
The humor seen among her works does easily resonate with us. All these familiar yet helpless situations that we have to face either voluntarily or involuntarily in life, make her illustrations a heartfelt relief. Like a coffee that wakes up a drowsy state of mind, her works can ease up your anxiety and brighten up your day.
