知名的繪本畫家幾米，身為宜蘭的在地子弟，在幾米廣場之後，二度用無償的方式讓自己的畫作在宜蘭展出，也替地方帶來了觀光熱潮。

結合空間設計，宜蘭羅東文化工場正在展出的幾米特展，讓以柔和色彩及可愛圖像，風靡大人小孩的幾米畫作，立體了起來。

[[參觀民眾]]
“很簡單，可是裡面描繪的畫面，覺得都很溫馨”

看到自己的第一幅作品就貼在透明玻璃上，幾米有感而發。

“我所有的圖是從這張圖開始，我知道我會畫圖，但我不知道我會做繪本，我不知道我會創作。在一個安靜的早晨，我坐在我的書桌，我把這些樹，就這樣一筆一畫畫出來”

在中國北京類似的展覽，幾米的策展費就要價千萬，回到自己家鄉宜蘭，幾米無償提供。

[[文化工場建築設計師 黃聲遠]]
“幾米自己雖然很長時間在縣外，可是他其實常常回來，然後非常低調的過他的生活，這個可以對我們宜蘭人有很大的啟發”

今年六月，全台第一座幾米廣場在宜蘭火車站附近開幕，半年來累積了近14萬人次參觀，這次特展將持續到明年2月27日，勢必吸引大批人潮，讓幾米成了宜蘭最佳的觀光代言人。

Renowned illustrator Jimmy Liao has opened a painting exhibit in Yilan. It is one of many ways that Liao gives back to his hometown. 

This is Jimmy Liao’s latest exhibit. The interior design of the Luodong Cultural Working House adds three-dimensional appeal to his colorful and playful works.

“The paintings are simple,” says this person. “But the scenes they depict make me feel warm inside.”

Liao had mixed feelings upon seeing his first painting plastered on a piece of transparent glass.

Illustrator
All my works began from this painting, says Liao. I knew I could paint, but I didn’t know I could create a picture book. One quiet morning I was sitting at my desk and I began to paint these trees, one stroke by another.

Liao charged about NT$10 million to curate a similar exhibition in Beijing. Back in his hometown of Yilan, he offered to display his paintings free of charge.

Designer, Luodong Cultural Working House
Although Jimmy spends a lot of time outside Yilan, he comes back frequently and leads a low-profile life, says Huang Sheng-yuan, a designer at Luodong Cultural Working House. This really inspires us fellow residents.

Taiwan’s first Jimmy Square opened near Yilan Train Station in June, attracting tens of thousands of visitors. The latest exhibition at the working house runs through Feb. 27 and is likewise expected to bring in many fans of the illustrator.
