Amateur artist goes viral for fore-edge painting 英國(guó)業(yè)余藝術(shù)家創(chuàng)作精美書口畫

文字稿

Meet 22-year-old amateur artist Maisie Matilda.

來認(rèn)識(shí)一下22歲的業(yè)余藝術(shù)家梅茜·瑪?shù)贍栠_(dá)。

She taught herself fore-edge painting, where a scene is painted on the edges of book pages.

她自學(xué)了書口畫，就是在書頁的邊緣畫上一個(gè)場(chǎng)景。

The art form dates back to the 10th Century.

這種藝術(shù)形式可追溯到10世紀(jì)。

"I posted a video in the evening that I did of me painting this fore-edge painting. I just did it for fun and then I got up really early for work the next morning when I was a carer, and my phone started pinging loads.

“有一天晚上，我發(fā)了一段我畫這幅書口畫的視頻。我發(fā)視頻只是為了好玩，第二天，我很早就去上班了，那時(shí)我是一名護(hù)理員，只聽我的手機(jī)開始響個(gè)不停。

And I checked it and suddenly my views went from about four to about 4,000 in the space of like five minutes. Then, by the time I finished my shift at about 11 o'clock, it was on 100,000 views.

我看了一下手機(jī)，突然間，視頻播放量在五分鐘內(nèi)從4次漲到了4000多次。等我11點(diǎn)多下班時(shí)，視頻已經(jīng)有10萬次的播放量了。

I'd never had that many views before in my life. It was mostly for my two friends that followed me. And then I thought, well, I should probably do that again, that was quite fun. So I did a Harry Potter one next.

我的視頻從沒有過這么多播放量。我之前主要是拍給關(guān)注我的兩個(gè)朋友看。在那之后，我想我應(yīng)該再拍一段。所以我接著就在一本《哈利·波特》的書口上作了畫。

I paint on second-hand books quite a lot because I think it's important to keep things in circulation and give second-hand items new life."

我常在二手書上畫畫，因?yàn)槲艺J(rèn)為讓物品被循環(huán)使用，給二手物品賦予新生命很重要?！?

She's since caught the eye of major film and television studios.

此后，她便吸引了各大影視制片廠的眼球。

"I was contacted by Amazon Prime to do some commissions on the Wheel of Time books, for their new upcoming series. So, I had a month to paint about 15 books, which was overwhelming and brilliant. So they went to the cast and fans of the Wheel of Time. But it hadn't actually come out yet, so all I had to work on was the trailer. So I had to take screenshots from the trailer.

“亞馬遜 Prime 聯(lián)系了我，委托我在原著《時(shí)光之輪》上作畫，他們將推出同名系列劇。他們給我一個(gè)月的時(shí)間來畫大約15本書，時(shí)間很緊，但這讓我受寵若驚，激動(dòng)不已。畫好的書送給了《時(shí)光之輪》的演員和劇迷。當(dāng)時(shí)這部劇還沒推出，所以我只能參考預(yù)告片里的場(chǎng)景作畫，從預(yù)告片中截圖。

It was a lot of work. I spent a lot of time in my room painting, all day, every day. My housemates got slightly worried for me.

這個(gè)活兒工作量很大。我花了很多時(shí)間在房間里畫畫，日以繼夜，日復(fù)一日。室友們都有點(diǎn)為我擔(dān)心了。

Lots of people want commissions and especially having a big commission like Amazon Prime, it was a lot more responsibility than I'm used to, and suddenly I was getting paid for a job that I really really love. If I could pay off my student loan by just painting books, that would just be the best thing ever. "

很多人想接受委托工作，尤其是像亞馬遜 Prime 這樣的大公司委托的項(xiàng)目，我從沒承擔(dān)過這么重大的責(zé)任，而且突然有人給我酬勞雇我做我喜愛的工作。要是我能通過畫畫來償還學(xué)生貸款，就再好不過了?！?nbsp;
