設計師介紹 / Designer
Agee
原創出色的都會圖像藝術家(Urban Graphic Artist)，認為創作即是生活的另一種表現。 Agee在過去四處遊歷及生活的經驗中體驗到來自世界各地不同文化的衝擊，使他的創作表現上大膽地採用許多東西方文化相融的題材，來呈現他生活的另外一面。

曾為台灣數個知名街頭品牌的設計師，也是街頭文化的實踐者，不斷地參與許多街頭文化的醞釀與推動，用藝術及創作來做為自己對外界發聲的方式。 2006年，以Ninja Bear 為全新的創作角色，試圖更深入實踐自己真實的生活。

Agee
The spectacular Urban Graphic Artist, do believe art is another way to reflect the life. He experiences the impact from different regions through traveling around the world. Therefore his art pieces adopt a lot of integration between east and west culture.

He has once been a designer of several famous street brands in Taiwan, also a practicer of the street culture in Taiwan. Agee never gives up using art to express his theory to others.

In 2006, Agee designed a brand-new character, Ninja Bear, and attempt to use it as a new channel to the world.

創作主題介紹 / Ninja Bear
Ninja Bear
We kill each other，是Ninja Bear最常掛在嘴邊的口頭禪。他們是這個都市叢林中的 urban ninja (都會忍者)，獨來獨往；互不相讓，個個身懷絕技，充滿了以自我為中心的生活態度。

Ninja Bear的創作靈感均來自於*Agee*身邊每天的人，事，物。他反映出時下年輕人所關注的事物，像是吃喝玩樂及一切潮流新鮮事，甚至是對於自我生活的態度。

Ninja Bear的世界，正是 *Agee* 對於現實社會的一種反諷及宣洩，在我們所存活的年代，許多人為了利益而互相廝殺，如此說來，我們不也是 Ninja Bear？
來吧！加入我們廝殺的行列！

We Kill Each Other!

Ninja Bear
“We kill each other” is the pet phrase of Ninja Bear, they are urban ninja living in the city jungle. Isolation, self center, and utilitarianism are their unique character.

The inspirations of designing Ninja Bear come from Agee’s Daily life. It reflects what the young people caring about, and their life attitude.

The world of Ninja Bear is exactly a kind of irony to the realistic society. In the times that we are living, a lot of people fight to each other just for the profit. In this case, aren’t we Ninja Bear?

Come on!

Joint us to kill each other
