好好吃先生的旅行地圖展

歲末。年終。

想回到熟悉的家鄉，還是前往未知的地方？
無論目的地是哪，你所需要的就是一趟旅行
藉由短暫的離開，確認心裡的渴望。

村上春樹在旅居歐洲的三年，完成了生涯最重要的小說《挪威的森林》。安藤忠雄在旅行中自學建築，從貨車司機轉變成傳奇建築師。Akinori也在旅法期間向法國人學習到：家庭和朋友的關係，勝過工作成績。 這份對於歡樂與滿足的純粹定義，進而成為他創作的中心思想。

此後，Akinori便創作了許多小小的微笑人，他們是住在圖畫世界「快樂城」裡的居民。這次專為遊戲橘子打造的「微笑橘」，就是快樂城的親善大使，帶領你到心所嚮往的快樂城休息、充電！無論是否有家人、愛人作陪，就算只有獨自一人，都請帶著「好好對待自己」的心情出發。

歲末。年終。
有些喜悅是筋疲力盡後才能獲得的。

Akinori Oishi
大石曉規，日本平面設計師，Oishi是「大石」的日文發音，也剛好是日文好吃的意思。1972年生於大阪。曾於京都市立藝術大學主修藝術、在IAMAS主修媒體設計。2001年獲法國MILIA國際多媒體展設計獎，之後三年在法國Team Chman工作室擔任設計師。在歐洲除了藝術工作，也任教於瑞士ECAL洛桑藝術設計大學。2004年回日本至今為獨立藝術家，且在京都造形藝術大學及多摩美術大學授課。

身為大阪人的Akinori，不免俗的從電視愛上關西式幽默，在法國工作期間，進而喜歡法國導演Tati的喜劇電影。拜科技發達所賜，畫筆創作下的歡樂得以用各種形式──遊戲、動畫、數位互動、建築,散播到全世界。

主要展覽：
2001年巴黎當代美術館東京宮展出「OPNIYAMA互動遊戲」
2005年出版為記錄瑞士國會的教育動畫片DVD「Mais im Bundeshuus」
2006年柏林、2008年紐約「Pictoplasma Conference角色藝術展」

Landmark Tour & Travel with Akinori


It’s the year’s end.

Would you rather go back to your restful hometown, or take your chance to travel in a mysterious place?
It’s not about where you are going. A trip is simply what you need.
Fulfill your heart desire with this short-term sweet escape.

Haruki Murakami traveled and lived in Europe for three years, and had completed the most influential work, “Norwegian Wood”. Tadao Ando is a self-taught architect by traveling throughout many places, from truck driver into a legendary architect. Akinori traveled to France and discovered one true find: Nothing's more important than a strong family and friends bonding, and this belief became his main concept. These joy and satisfaction fulfill his heart and turn into the main inspiration of his design.

Since then, Akinori’s character designs are always smiling and living in Aki’s graphic pattern “City of Joy”.
This time, Akinori creates a new smiling character with Gamania Digital Entertainment and take you to Aki’s “City of Joy”.
Whether with friends, family, or even yourself, remember to take time, relax and discover your own city of joy.

It’s the year’s end again.
Bitterness ends and happiness begins.
