Bobby Chiu

Bobby Chiu on the right
"I'm an independent artist and teacher. Art has been my savior. It gives me freedom. Half the time I feel like I've already retired. I sleep when I want, I get up when I want, and I just do what I want all day: Art. What could be better than that?"
-Bobby Chiu-


For those of us who love art and know how to endure its preciousness, it becomes more personal to us. Hence we keep on drawing and collecting or even perhaps sharing, thus this gives us an opportunity to improve and understand more of what art has to offer and teach us. It is certainly not the easiest subject or skill to acquire, however it needs a great deal of consistency in order to reach to a high standard of quality. Regardless of standards, imagination is the real key or secret to a success.

I have been a great listener of Bobby Chiu's podcasts on YouTube and I have to say that this man is a real inspiration. If you love art, then you have to listen to his podcasts but it's not only about art that he talks about. He also talks about life, and how to improve yourself, how to promote yourself, how to change yourself and so on. His podcasts doesn't have specific titles or planned out scripts.

He talks naturally without any scripts and whilst he is talking he is also drawing and painting digitally. So it is a proof that he is not reading a script but rather just letting his mind divide in two and go with the flow. 

I highly recommend Bobby Chiu's podcasts and his own studio called Imaginism Studios, click on the below picture to go to their website.



Bobby Chiu recently worked as a Character Designer for Tim Burton's latest CG feature film Alice In Wonderland




Anyhow, here are some of his works and a link to his Podcasts. Enjoy and Good Luck!
