Yeung grown up in the Lam tin district of Hong Kong, its name literary means blue field in Cantonese, hence had his first graphic novel named “ How Blue was my valley “. A newly built large public housing estate in the 70’s, it was a densely populated, rough and tough neighbourhood. Yeung compelling and extraordinary use of primal bright colours to depict the daily lives of the estate, established both his signature drawing style, thus sat a benchmark to the development of Hong Kong indie comics.
A teenage boy with a hungry stomach walks slowly uphill, passed the wet market, dodged the bullies, climb the stairs, the diligent taping sound of the sewing machine, guitar strumming ; winter spring summer or fall, all you… she made it to the chorus today.
楊學德在藍田長大。是藍色的田。
錦繡藍田是楊的第一本漫畫小說，英文名字 ‘ How blue was my valley ‘ 。
藍田是七十年代新建成的大型公共屋村，人口眾多，龍蛇混雜。楊運用原始鮮豔的顏色來程現那時代精神，掌握得拾到好處，令人印象深刻，也成為他漫畫作品的簽名式風格，對香港獨立漫畫有極大影響。
放學後懷著重累累的書包，空空的肚子，穿過濕滑街市，躲過球場裡的死飛仔，走上樓梯就聽到勤奮的衣車腳踏聲，Winter, spring, summer or fall, all you… 她彈到副歌了。
