In a project called Cloud Shaping, Madrid-based Martin Feijoo sketches quirky interpretations of what he sees when he looks up at the sky.

• quirky ( adj. ) 多變的
• interpretation ( n. ) 詮釋

He said: 'I started shaping clouds during my trip to Mexico last summer. I spent a lot of time on the road, so I admired the landscapes very often and for a long time.

'One day I began to notice that cloud shapes was not like the clouds of Madrid. The sky was clear and the clouds were huge, misshapen and always changing.

他說:「我第一次把雲的樣子變成我想像的圖，是我去年夏天在墨西哥的旅途中，我花了很多時間停留在路途中，所以我很喜歡欣賞路上風景，有一天，我開始注意到這裡的雲和馬德里的雲的形狀不一樣，天空很清澈、雲很大，而且變化無常。」

'At the same time I remembered that idea someone told me when I was a child about the origin of the cloud shapes and, right there, both thoughts merged, so I started photographing clouds that seemed to me like something.

'As I started drawing clouds, I realised that if I added accessories to the characters it would make them funnier and at the same time, every cloud would have a story.'

「同時，我記得小時候有人跟我說雲的形狀的故事，而此時，畫圖的想法和故事就融合在一起了，所以我開始把雲照起來，而那些被我照下來的雲對我來說似乎都跟某一樣東西很像。當我開始畫雲，我想到如果我加上一些裝飾，會讓我的角色變得更有趣，也讓他們都有自己的故事。」

Martin uses special transparent paper for his sketches. He places the photographs on light table and draws his creations over the top in black pen.

As a child was told that clouds’ shapes were created by expert balloon twister clowns who live in the sky
