Hi, I’m RayShine.
I’m a creator and coder from Taipei, Taiwan, working at the crossroads of analog and digital craft. My interests span digital painting, urban sketching, generative art, letterpress printing, and pen plotting—always exploring new ways to make things.
I set up this website in 2025 to explore and document these passions.
Refer to <a href="/en/now">this post</a> to get a glimpse of what I’ve been up to.
You can also find me on <a href="https://www.plurk.com/rayshineart">Plurk</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/rayshineart">Instagram</a> or contact me at <a href="mailto:rayshine.liang@gmail.com">rayshine.liang@gmail.com</a>

About Me

<a href="/zh/blog/kids-drawing">（點此閱讀中文版）</a>The bittersweet of watching my kids create.
I'm so happy they have this pure fun now. But I know one day the comparison trap will steal their confidence.
All I can do is help them build a strong bank of fond memories.
Maybe they'll stop making art as teens, but I hope the joy helps them find their way back later.
Just like I did.

Happy accident on my plotter base plate ❤️
I thought layering red marker on the still-wet black marker ruined the piece. Instead, it gave me a desaturated dark red I was looking for.
Sometimes the “mistakes” are the best part. 😉

(WIP) A Red Heart

<a href="/zh/blog/curvey-orange-n-purple">（點此閱讀中文版）</a>Experimenting my new pen plotter with different pens. I wish the orange &amp; purple were more saturated. Guess I've got some excuses to buy more markers. 😆
