In a forest wonderland, nimble fawns, snow-white foxes, and neon shooting stars fill the work of Guihua Huzi, an illustrator from Chongqing whose pen name translates to something like “Scribble Whiskers.” His endearing works draw viewers into each fairytale setting, offering them respite from worldly cares.
在深色森林的映衬下，来自重庆的插画艺术家鬼画胡子描绘了一个神秘仙境，灵动的小鹿、通体洁白的狐狸，还有闪耀着霓虹光彩的流星。鬼画胡子说。他的作品仿佛有一种魅力，能让人忘却尘世的纷扰，而为这童话般的环境深深迷住。
Guihua Huzi describes himself as “somebody who lives in a square box in a very ordinary residential building,” and the scenes he depicts on canvas are a way for him to live out his daydreams. “If I could, I’d like to go back to my village, far from the big city, and live a simple everyday life,” he says.
He hopes his art will resonate with viewers and evoke a nostalgia for distant lands and youthful innocence. More importantly, he wants to kindle in them a love and respect for the natural world that we share with other living creatures.
鬼画胡子说自己是生活在“很普通的居民楼里方孔形状里的一个人”，而画布则通过某种方式呈现他的梦想，“如果有可能，我想回乡下生活，远离都市生活，每天简简单单的就好。”他希望能够通过自己的作品唤起他人的共鸣感，唤起人们对远方和纯真的向往，更能唤起人们对那个关于与动物共存的自然世界的喜爱与尊敬。
