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

on location drawing- governors island

One beautiful day, we went to governor's island for location drawing.

We drew our journey through the festival from one end to the other.

For preparing to make a masterpiece, my friend and I bought a cup of Heineken.

It helped me to refresh, but it didn't really work well for my drawings...lol

I really enjoyed the time,but none of them are my favorite... unfortunately...

new start!

These two what I'm into these days.
I need time to get used to everything for new, and I have enough time to do.

I really wanna go!

I'm so glad that I'm a part of this show with amazing artists!!

print print print!!

I was little worried to silkscreen them today because I've been away from print shop since this summer started.

However, I'm glad that I still feel the same way as before, and still remember how to do it. lol

love love love silkscreening!!

These lucky two pieces are ready to go to Ohio.

I got an e-mail from Desert Island last night, and the title was 'good news'.

It said my sushi book was sold last night.

It was a good news, but felt little sad....

I've been thinking why I'm so sad at the good news, and realized that I might have thought them as my babies.

I should have made more, but I've started working on another project since then, so I have only 10 babies, and they are...

#1- sent to my parents in korea

#2- gave to David Sandlin who is my precious teacher

#3- sent to Printed matter

#4- consigned to desert island, but it was sold...

#5- consigned to Rocket ship

#6- gave to s.

#7- mine for artist proof

#8- damaged

#9-

#10-

so, now only 2 left...
Should I be excited or sad at this moment?

I might have put my soul when I made them.- could it be the reason?

I should be happy though :D

It's all about FOOD~!

Here is the process of my food drawings.
It makes me think about the relationship of food and women.- It's serious.!
Also, food and my work.
I really enjoy doing this even though they make me stick on the desk.
I hope the finals come out well.
Thanks again!

Another challenge

The unbelievable time with my mom is finally ended today.

Now, I feel like JFK airport is my second familiar place in NY. - no tears in the airport..!

The first city that I arrived in America was Chicago in July 2004.

I can't believe it was 5 years ago, and I'm now 5 years older than when I first came to america.!!!

At that time, I could only speak " hello" "Hi".... so shame on me....

Chicago gave me a big challenge to decide to study abroad in America.

And now, I'm here in New York. ( honestly, I used to regret that I should have chosen Chicago art school instead of New York's for the first 2 years...)

It was my third time to visit Chicago, and Chicago always welcomes me like my birth place.

Yes.... taking one month to travel around is good for me, but it is hard to sit on the desk to draw again....

However, here is another challenge for two years.( not sure...It could be only two months, two weeks, or two days!!)

I don't know I can do it or not.

My friend said it's my choice, but he'd prefer me not to be...

How can Sushi-girl cannot eat fish?? -that might be the main reason.

Trying to challenge my life is good, but I have to be tough or tofu. lol

Foods that are allowed include:
Organic fruits and veggies
Soy products, beans, and nuts
Organic canola, olive and sesame oils, and coconut oil
Whole-grain cereals and bread, whole-wheat pasta, vegetable pasta, tortillas, brown rice, barley, quinoa, potatoes, and sweet potatoes
Organic corn chips; tofu ice cream; and desserts sweetened with cane juice, maple syrup, raw sugar, or other natural, unrefined products
Water, decaf green tea, and organic red wine on occasion.

Do I love NY?

The answer can be 'YES'.

I took my mom everywhere in NY these days.

It allowed me to find the REAL value of staying in New York city.

My mom said that New York is just like Seoul, but I don't think so...

Everywhere in NY has stories for my life.

They are all the inspirations of art.

Blue pencil sketches!

I chose my second ex- boyfriend story as the first tight pencil sketch.

I love love love drawing with my blue blue blue pencils!!! The feeling is so charming!!

Either people like these funny sketches or not, I really enjoy drawing the second ex-boyfriend story.

Can't wait to finish inking!!!

I hope it comes well by silkscreen too.^^
