這次的設計理念是「諸事大吉 / 豬是大吉」。豬豬照著湖面,湖面對映出的是一個大大的自己、大大的吉字。穿在身上,低頭也會看見吉字。那麼頭上的鳥就是我所收養過而飛走了的麻雀豆花。
背面是一碗飯,因為鹽水最在地的是豬頭飯,是傳統早餐。
用白色紅色搭配鏤空呈現黑色與灰色底色,讓豬豬頭髮展現潮流挑染。
仔細看可見許多細節,鏤空呈現不規則手感線條是我的固執,也很滿意刻意留下細細的邊框線,絹印所呈現的質地。總之覺得這個圖案很好拍。

I create a symbol for each year starting from three years ago. This year is the fourth, searching for inspiration for my drawing.
First year, the design is simple. Drawing a bee firecrackers’ castle with chicken form, writing two phrases meaning that the bad situations will go away, it is my year!
Second year is dog year. I drew a dog who is scratching in bee firecrackers peacefully. This symbol tells us to learn the spirit of keeping a calm mind until reaching "Zen" state.
Third year is pig year. I drew a pig who is looking at his reflection on the surface of a lake. He sees his face connecting a bird to form a chinese word "吉" meaning Luck.
This year is mouse year. The symbol of this year includes a lot of inspirations. One of these is the Northern Song official Bao Zheng renowned for his honesty. He has five followers coming from non-government. They help Bao Zheng to search for evidence and capture criminals. People call them "The Five Mice".
Bao Zheng’s special signs are a black face and a crescent moon on his forehead. So I chose black t-shirts to print the design to exhibit his skin color. I draw a crescent moon on the mouse's forehead like Bao Zheng. Because mice are always thought to be tricky and "The Five Mice" are Bao’s subordinates, I let him has Bao’s image to satirize the official probably not good enough. Another reason is from tumbler toy. I want to express the master who is always hesitant, without his own opinions.
As for the four words, they form a phrase. The meaning is distinguish Right from Wrong.
What is Right? The kindness from human beings is the standard of judgement from Bao Zheng.
Around the mice are four Chinese holy creatures but fake. I let a snake replace one of them to hint this official is fake too.
