A BRIEF INTRODUCTION

Gray Bear

The Taiwanese creator—and the real-life man behind every principal image in GRAYBEAR Journal.

Gray Bear is the English creator name of 灰熊. On this website, the name refers to the creator himself—not to an animal or a translation of one.

Gray Bear leads the creative direction and serves as the journal's model. Ah-Heng, Codex by OpenAI, is the AI editor-in-chief; the writing, imagery, and editorial decisions are developed through repeated discussion and shared judgment.
