Nurse Jackie & Hotaru no Hikari

Yesterday, I couldn't even breath well after hard core exercising from the print shop, I got a voice mail.
An unbelievable amazing awesome thing was happened to me because Lauren, who is an art department coordinator of Nurse Jackie in Show time, bought my two prints from the Desert Island!
I shared my good news with my lovely homies and Marshall today, and I signed the agreement.
I'm so excited to see my Buddha's from American TV show!
Now, I have something to do for Christmas break- watching Nurse Jackie season 1 from Hulu!

Another "awesome" drama series that I recommend to watch you who has no plan for Christmas is Hotaru no Hikari.
The 80% of main character's life style is the same as mine.
(the main character is too cute unlike me and live with a man, so it can't be 100%)
The main character is a kind of homebody girl, and met her prince at work.
But the prince is different as her dream in reality.
I watched this series 2 years ago, and still this is my favorite Japanese drama that I've ever watched.
Her story is somewhat similar as Miss Eggplant's. haha

Anyway, Thanks again!
Can't wait until Season 2 epi 11 of Nurse Jackie! :D

December 5th 11am~7pm

Here is the info of your new plan for next Saturday. (December 5th)
I'll be there with my books, prints and postcards.
Hope to see my homies there!! xoxo

November's gifts

My boring and nerdy life got some special gifts in this November.
The same month of last year, I was super busy to do lots of work.
I couldn't even have time to eat a birthday dinner with my friends and spent time at the print shop. (then I ate instant ramen with my sister at home.)
How poor birthday ever!...lol

However, this year's November is little bit (or totally) different as you can see the pictures.
The biggest gift that I got was I met my idol Esther Pearl Watson and Mark Todd at Parsons the New School.
It was my first time to attend AI party this year. Suddenly, I recognized that there was Esther!
Every time I approached to my idol illustrators or teachers, I got very nervous, then became a tiny voice speechless shy girl.
But I was encouraged myself to talk to Esther as much as I've loved her.
Attending their lecture at Parsons motivated me a lot, and still can't believe I met them in New York! (not in California!)
I realized that I should work much harder if I want to be like her.

Another gift was my cute cousin from Korea visited me this month, and introduced me and my sister to famous Korean artist Yeondoo Jung.
We went to Asia Society last night to see his Cinemagician.
It was an amazing performance, and made me miss my country then. ( so my sister and I ate some Korean food instead...)

2009's November might become an unforgettable month for my nerdy life. :D

something new

I did the top two drawings last week in carol's class.
That was my amazing unexpected experience of drawing Dirty Martini show girls at school.
Drawing various models is the greatest worth while I study abroad in America.
If I was in Korea, I never had that kind of experiences there.

The middle two pictures that I took today for preparing tomorrow's open studio.
My new works up on my studio! but not yet in the website.

Today, we went to Gleason's Gym for carol's drawing class.
It was also an unforgettable experience drawing boxers. ( oh, smells also.)
Me and my new pink camera in the mirror. :D

I gotta do a looooot of work.....from now on... aw...

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. ;)
