The very berry first comic book

While I worked on my fourth eggplant comic, I thought
' Is it too gross??' ' Is it too honest??' 'Is it so real??'
However, I quickly realized that I've been doing these kind of stuff since probably the same month of 2006.
So, I have to be willing to show off everything about the Miss Eggplant.

At that time, I could barely speak at the class, and only use my sense of humor and honesty by using my artistic nature. (how sad it was!!!)

The top four pictures are my very very VERY first comic book that I made in my life.
I didn't know anything about SVA which I'm now too much familiar with everything like my elementary school that I attended the longest time among my school years. (next year, my SVA life will become 5 years!!!! it is equal to my first elementary school. ow...yeah...)

stinky dude SVA! :P

anyways, the cartooning class which my academic adviser just put my name in was all about super hero comic stuff, but it became my favorite right after.
The class made me switch my major to cartooning for a year, and still thanks to Joey Cavalieri who helped me to find my potential capacities of comic, and always respected me a lot even though I was a very nervous- only foreign small-minded illustration majored girl in his class.

and my comic story is still about
- unsuccessful one side love.
- a young woman's REAL life.
- all right.. food. of course!

Happy Hallowweeeen!!! :D

Miss Eggplant

I broke or lost my _
camera,
hard drive which has all the important files that I've made since 2006,
my favorite brush pen which I bought just one month ago,
butt.

Such a tragic and stupid boring life!!!

but I found my favorite Asian boy from You Tube which became my recent hobby.
Here is the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CqbZNHaf1o that I listen at least 10 times in a day.
He is only one who makes me laugh a lot these days.
These are all happened since last week.
I'm so out of mind.... but yeah...still doing comics.

postcard design

We went to American Museum of Natural History yesterday for drawing class.
The assignment was four drawings of post card designs.
I really enjoyed the time and putting my character into the postcards, and everybody said "you are funny~haha."

I made the first and second images for the front and back images of my finished postcard.
If you want to get one, leave your address. ;)

Studio

I should have posted up my studio pictures, but my work wasn't ready yet before.
But after forcing myself to finish inking Buying Lenin at the studio, I just took the photos.
I'm still working on it, but my right shoulder told me that he wants to get some rest.
I hope to start printing next Monday.

and, I miss you.

Thanks!

I went to Desert Island with my genius awsome friend Tomi today.

We both had some good news, and my Public Bath book was also sold few days ago. ( not only sushi book...!!)

Desert Island is my favorite book store which only has awsome stuff that I really like.

The thing I really like is if I sold my stuff there. I can also get my favorite books instead of money. If i want.

I traded part of my money on my favorite books which I borrowed from the SVA library since I was there. ( I borrowed Vanessa's book one hundred times... lol)

I was so much inspired by Jeffrey, Vanessa and Adrian's stories to make my seven ex-"boyfrineds" comic.

Especially Vanessa's book is the one which made me start doing comic.

The only different thing is - Jeffrey and Vanessa's stories about relationships are all true, but my boyfriends are not "REAL BOYFRIENDS"...unfortunately... ( 7... sometimes people asked me, " Did you have seven ex- boyfriends?? my answer is, " OMG, I wish I could...)

So, now I'm really happy for having them all to myself.

But, I couldn't buy SHORTCOMINGS by Adrian... it was sold out. So, I chose the favorite chapter of OPTIC NERVE.

I'm also really appreciated the kindest people who I never met and bought my clumsy books.

Thanks again!!

Oh! now I'm selling my latest prints -Competitive eating and Watching what we eat @ DESERT ISLAND! $25 each.

I have big smile every time I went there. (Thanks Gabe and Tomi!)

New book project.

The Thursday class at noon is Creative Writing and is usually my "favorite" among my first semester classes.I had to discuss my thoughts on a story about a student who is a new resident in NY with the rest of the class. The apartment which is in the West 80th seems nice from the outside, but people are starving on the inside. Yes, I found something in common between she and I, so I pitifully said, " If someone who lives in the upper side manhattan, people usually think that they might be rich, but sometimes my sister and I starved because we can't find any korean food around here." then, the teacher said " If you have no food, just tell us...." she was so nice.... but I felt guilty

because the "starving" things are my on purpose....- I can't tell... but you may know why.

My sister asked me today " I'm so hungry, let's go get something to eat.", but I answered- " Hey! I'm on diet. eat alone skinnier!!"

Am I so cruel?? or too bad?? to my class and sister?

anyways, here is the project that I started this semster for a class.- Buying Lenin by Miroslav Pankov.

It will be double sided accordion silkscreen book. I hope I could be successfully done at the end of this semester.

I was out of mind for the past few days, and then I finally realize that oh...I'm in New York now... I have to wake up from the stupid dreams.

The last picture is a bonus - me and my new dog at the running track in Central Park. I'm glad to have this dalmatian even though it's not a real. :D

Vanessa Davis

This is why I like her comics.
Working at the studio all day...I'm half dead...
