An Interview with Rumin Wu

The Letterpress Project has asked authors and illustrators to think about what has inspired them as artists, what their favourite books are and how they relate to their audience – we’ve also asked them if they themselves are book collectors.

We are delighted to present an exclusive interview with the illustrator, Rumin Wu. Rumin is a published illustrator and graphic designer with several years of professional experience across Taiwan and the UK. Now based in Taiwan, she combines hand-drawn textures with digital techniques to create expressive, characterful illustrations.

Drawn to subdued, sensitive colour palettes and scratchy pen lines, Rumin finds inspiration in animals, stationery, groceries and other everyday ‘lovely’ things. Her work spans a range of contexts, including editorial, packaging, puzzles, surface pattern and more.
