Can you see me moving?

2weeks in London showed me a new vision.
I saw these great stencil arts near Waterloo station,
The city was in a battle with every street arts.
They erased every walls(especially walls around the big station,places which tourists usually visit-so there were weird too clean stains on the walls),CCTV is in everywhere but a site named blankexpression
provided this place and there were--

I regret that I didn't talk to him.His pieces were one of the greatest!!
(you can see more of his,and you can easily notice that they're his.)
























so when I got back,I started to think that I should try more stencils.
And after a week I met Jerett(the guy I met in WorldDjFestival who's a graffiti artist)and he suggested me a great,great idea.
I draw on a paper,real big,lifesize characters,and give them a line or name or whatever,and then he write them(name/line/word~)
so last past week I was busy(?not really maybe?) doing these.




Skitsch/BATAK-pen is our weapon.
I tried a half scale before I draw lifesize.so..it's not very good and actually BATAK is taller than me.ahahahaha~~(I~am~somebody~who~wants~to~be~taller~)
the color is yellower than the real.my floor is too yellow&there wasn't enough light.
with-Acrylic color,Photo liner,OHP marker,two magic pens.


A main charactor from the novel I'm reading now.American Gods by Neil Gaiman.
I cut some part of the paper I drew me and BATAK and tried a B&W thing.
I love him.when people ask his name he always answers'they call me shadow'.
Well..in the story,He is like-(these are first 3lines from the book)
Shadow had done three years in prison.He was big enough,and looked don't-fuck-with-me enough that his biggest problem was killing time,So he kept himself in shape,and taught himself coin tricks,and thought a lot about how much he loved his wife.

hahahaha..My shadow is too cute and comical though.
in the middle of the book there's a girl wondering if he has indian blood,and the book says that he has grey eyes..and where I'm at in the book shadow started to work in funeral house..so I drew him in a black suit.
It doesn't look like don't-fuck-with-me guy or big,shaped but I like this.
with-OHP marker,photo liner,name pen,two magic pens.

some details of those two drawings.





If it wasn't raining I wanted to paste these on somewhere(probably the rooftop of my Apartment building~)but a storm was coming,it rained over 120mm?150mm?today and will rain 120mm more until the morning.

Anyways.Through these many pictures,can you see me moving?

bye,bye Mr.P,my friend!



We met last year at my friend's wine party.
Though he doesn't drink(at all!),we had a good conversation,and gave eachother #s.
He's an young american guy who's been in Korea for almost 3years.(maybe wrong..anyways over 2years.)
He's really interested in Korean animations,he draws,he writes,he scraps informations.
And he's a really really really positive friend.
I think he doesn't know this but actually he helped me a lot.
Everytime I meet him,he encouraged me with his energy,ideas,passion,a lot more than I can write.
We wanted to make an website with..kind of webtoon,but it seemed too hard.
So I started to blog here.
and before that I didn't draw very much.I almost didn't draw.
I was just a tired nameless (but sometimes draws her own stuffs)animator.
Mr.P.you don't know how much I appreciate you.
and how much I will miss you!

his drawing of me in January.



We had farewell early dinner or late lunch today.
(He's going back home in one week,and probably won't visit Korea for a while.
He said he might come back or not so I should visit the states.hahaha)
He said that my drawings're getting better and better but I also think that his drawings are too!
So while he was drawing me I drew him drawing me.
And then I added him and his friend around his drawing of me.





Mr.P!we know that we'll meet again,right?
see you again Roberto!carrot!
I'll call you friday afternoon.before you couldn't use it anymore.

her name is meshell ndegeocello

I first heard her voice in 2003 in basement jaxx's album kishkash.
She sang and played bass 2songs for the album and those were really good.
so I bought her albums and got shocked.
Her music is real.
She taught me a true meaning of beauty.
Why don't you click here and listen to her voice.
michelle johnson
(it's her real name and she sang about herself in her latest album.
ndegeocello means 'free like a bird' in swahili,which is also carved on my right arm.)

rough sketch with yellow,yellow green pencil.
um..I forgot my scanner doesn't read yellow green pencil well.
I shouldn't use that color next time I draw.


re-lined.
I like this a lot.yeah,Pencil is the most familiar tool for me.


Another drawing of meshell.
She always shaves her head but only for once,she had this cornrow.


re-lined.

Last night I met my ex-boss with my friend SunAe.
(We worked at his for 3.5years-for a long time ago.)
We talked about how time passed,how good/bad we were.
And then SunAe said that she doesn't like working with me.
She loves this job and is proud of it but I always say this job is stupid.
I was very shocked.But her word has its fine reason.So I said nothing.
And we went on,and we got drunk,and I made my ex-boss cry.(he's 40yrs old nice,funny guy)
What am I to have this giant ego?Why do I always offend people I love?

And then again I thought of meshell.
Does her life have shits like mine?Does she do wrong?
And the song answered me.
yes.
The only difference between(not only.the biggest) me and her is that she's real but I'm not yet.
That's why I feel ugly.that's why I'm not beautiful..yet.

coconut moment


coconut moment pencil sketch


coconut moment inked

It was a very hot and dry afternoon of glastonbury.
I saw a boy and his mom bought coconut(fruit) to drink.
I asked my friend some coins and ran to the coconut guy.

He was busy opening coconuts by cutting their tops.
I hesitated a moment and asked him 'can I have one please.?'very shily.
He saw me and said'Sure my lady~' with a big grin.
Then he opened one with a few cuts,and handed me in a bigger grin.
So I smiled back and started to ask the price-'how much-'

He licked his lips before I finish the question and leaned towards me in slow motion.
So did I.
Our faces came closer and he whispered.'three pounds~'
Suddenly my face turned to real red and I paid and then ran away.

..
'cause he was so damn sexy-,.-
His brown,wet shiny shoulder(yea.read my first post.I almost have fetish),
his narrow eyes,rough teeth(I love Steve Buscemi),slightly muscly lean legs,long dred,so on..(am I crazy?probably.)
Some of my readers know that I want to be a fisherman.
That some of you might know that I have a childish fantasy of nature based life.
And for a moment,I thought that I could live forever with someone like him.
But I was too shy to say 'I like you!!!You're so fine!'while I was buying coconut.
..
and I looked dumb like this

happy monkey with coconut



one more small drawing from festival-

Festival child.their facepaintings were vivid and bold.
(in here,we don't draw all over the face..)
She looked sad and a bit mysterious.well..and very pretty also.


festival for babies(those four aren't family.they're-a baby&her dad,a baby &his mom)

ooh.I need to draw faster or I'll talk about the festival till the end of this month.

Hello,blog.I'm back~


Yeah baby,I'm back with full of flavour!

Those last two weeks were amazing.
I went to Glastonbury Festivals(from 26th to 29th),and lots of places I loved.
My skitschbook and note were with me always but I couldn't draw as much as I thought.
There were too many moments I wanted to just feel,and sometimes it's hard to draw especially while I was at the festival.
But those are in my mind so I'll put them out one by one.

I came home yesterday,(stupid me.it wasn't 5th.it was 6th.I gained 7hours when I went to London,but I lost 14hours when I came to Seoul.give my hours back!!-but actually there's no loss)and started to work today.
yea..It's been a long day.I thought that I could rest one day before I work.

Here're some poor stuffs I drew at green park.
These aren't all but some of the others needed to be re-lined,needed extra touches.

I saw this kind of looks a lot.Those hat(?Can I call that a hat?)s,Sticks,skirts,and some..febrics which looked like shawls.
Very common old lady(I love them so much when they say'oh dear!')in England.


She was huge.
I was too shy to draw her as big as she was.
She seemed over 180cm,her shoulder and her legs were..
Maybe she was a sports player.


A boy who was very my style.
(mm..honestly,most of boys are my style.wahahaha!!)


At the park,I saw a look of love.
The guy on the right was really really concentrating on her.(while she didn't seem to care/noticed.)
His eyes were like laser beams!


Very cool girl with big Sunglasses.
Her face and hair were perfect but when she stood up,I can't say that I really liked her pants..


A girl or a lady reading a book in the park.
I liked her hair.

I'll be back soon with many more stories.
I just thought that I should say 'Hi.I'm back'quickly.

ps-I just changed blog setting a little bit for my friend EJing,who doesn't have google/blogger ID and has been wanting to post a comment.
since now,you don't need to log-in to write a comment for my posts.
