Feric Feng is the founder of Tenzones Digital Entertainment Company Ltd. and a Taiwanese illustrator, conceptual designer and animator.
His highly acclaimed illustration style hovers between reality and fantasy and is a surreal blend of the East and West, the past and the future, and the natural and mechanical. Known to his team and friends as a kid at heart, Feric is never fresh out of kooky ideas and steam. Feric's artwork has been featured in SJMA, AIGA, Graphis and American Illustration. His animation, "Inside Out", a short that demonstrates the unity in all things (whereby a little component becomes one with a fish, a whale, a dingo, a gecko, a planet and more), has been screened at the Holland International Animation Festival, the Ottaway International Animation Festival and the NYEXPO, among others.
After graduating in film and animation at the School of Visual Arts (New York) and further earning a master's degree in design from Yale, Feric went on to work as a conceptual designer for Square USA, Inc. for the film "Final Fantasy". He has also worked as a motion graphic designer on "Animatrix." Some of the clients Feric has collaborated with include the New York Times, Prada, Miu Miu, ESPN, Metropolis, IBM, NIKE and BP.
In 2009, Feric established Tenzones with a mission to shake up the visual storytelling experience for children and adults. Tenzones tells stories through interactive storybooks, games, and animation as well as develop peripheral merchandise. Currently, Tenzones is working on the Nestree project, a series of stories that take place in a fantastical world brimming with enigmatic characters, astonishing inventions and a myriad of robotic animals. "Roda" is the first story in the Nestree series.
