In both life and creativity, there are always little pauses where thoughts need to be sorted out. Some people light up a cigarette, others tidy up their rooms as if refreshing their minds through a mini \u201cmetabolism.\u201d For illustrator 71 (@71picture<\/a>), his ritual is brewing a cup of pour-over coffee. Unlike siphon or cold brew that take too much time, pour-over is just right\u2014the grind, the pour, the waiting. It\u2019s a sweet window to reset, recharge with a touch of caffeine, and then dive back into his art.<\/p>\n

Many first came to know 71 through his whimsical Monster Series, but his primary profession is photography. Work often takes him back and forth between Taipei, Taichung, and Changhua. No matter the city, the first thing he looks up is nearby coffee shops\u2014camera, tablet, and laptop in tow\u2014finding spaces where he can truly immerse himself in creation. \u201cI actually need caf\u00e9s to get into work mode,\u201d he admits with a laugh.<\/p>\n

Ordering Coffee Like Ordering a Drink at a Bar<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When 71 finds a caf\u00e9 that sparks his focus, he\u2019ll go back for days in a row. In the beginning, he didn\u2019t know much about coffee; he only knew he liked a brighter, more acidic flavor. Unable to decode origins or roast levels, he would simply ask the barista\u2014like ordering a cocktail at a bar\u2014\u201cI\u2019d like something a little sour.\u201d Slowly, he built a connection with his favorite spots. Now, at some caf\u00e9s, he just has to say \u201chot\u201d or \u201ciced,\u201d and the barista already knows what to prepare.<\/p>\n

From Digital Creations Back to Canvas<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Art has been with 71 since childhood. With parents and a sister who painted, he picked up brushes early\u2014scribbles, sketches, watercolor. But in college, after accidentally entering a film program, painting was put aside for years. It wasn\u2019t until a friend invited him to share illustrations online that he picked up drawing again, this time digitally.<\/p>\n

Recently, he set up a spacious shared studio in Taichung. There\u2019s room for large easels, cozy living room corners, even game nights with friends. In the future, he hopes to host art workshops there\u2014a space for kids and fellow creators to share the joy of painting.<\/p>\n

A Monster in Metal: The Solright DB-1<\/strong><\/h2>\n

For 71, both coffee and art are familiar flavors of life\u2014one fuels the other. Whether at home or in a caf\u00e9, convenience matters. That\u2019s why he reaches for the Solright DB-1 Grinder, his reliable partner in pour-over breaks. \u201cIf I had to describe it as a monster,\u201d he muses, \u201cit would be a gray one\u2014smooth and simple on the outside, but with sharp, intricate mechanics hidden within.\u201d<\/p>\n

Monsters have been at the heart of his work for years. Will they continue to be his main subject? \u201cThey\u2019ll always be there,\u201d he says. \u201cBut now I want to focus more on the accessories, the details\u2014the elements that surround the monsters. Maybe the monster itself becomes just a small Easter egg, tucked away in the canvas.\u201d
For 71, each monster part\u2014like a shock absorber\u2014comes with a principle to explore and learn. Through painting, he keeps pushing himself into new possibilities.<\/p>\n
