DrawLife

(I translated Korean to English with the help of AI.) In a world where recording daily life with smartphone photos has become so natural, and even videos are possible, what does it mean to record daily life with drawings? There's a reason why I choose to capture the moments of my life with drawings, rather than just pressing a button. Drawings that turn everyday life into a journey. "Drawings are a record of facts and a record of emotions." My neighborhood department store is closing down this year. It's a place I've personally visited very often, so I'm very sad. I'm trying to capture its soon-to-disappear appearance as a record. Photos and videos are good, but the image of the place in a drawing moves my heart. A drawing radiates the warmth of the artist's emotions. The layers of time are stacked with emotions. It seems that only a drawing can express that emotion in one piece. When I see the drawing below after time passes and the familiar place is ...

  (I translated Korean to English with the help of AI.) There are names that frequently appear in various works. Among those names, 'Conan' remains unforgettable to me. Arnold Schwarzenegger, an action actor who still holds immense influence despite his age, I believe his breakthrough role was in 'Conan the Barbarian'. At the time, I thought it was a script hastily put together to showcase Arnold's muscles, but within the 'epic' genre, the character 'Conan' boasts a history and tradition as a well-known figure. As I'm interested in drawing, I often search for 'graphic novels', and the character 'Conan' consistently appears. He's like a symbol of the prehistoric era, fantasy, and adventure genres. His recognition seems quite high overseas. There's a country that particularly favors the name 'Conan'. In Japanese animation, the name Conan is very familiar. 'Detective Conan' is probably the most famous of the c...

  (I translated Korean to English with the help of AI.) (Spoiler alert for the movie Sing Street.) The most shining moment might not be when you're most successful. Even though it may look shabby to others, there's a radiance in the person doing what they love. The movie 'Sing Street' shows the beginning of an awkward school rock band. The reason they shine isn't because they're good at music. It's because of the pure excitement that comes from doing what they love. People were anticipating the follow-up work from director John Carney, who opened a new chapter in music films with 'Once.' 'Begin Again,' starring Hollywood stars, received decent reviews. However, personally, I think 'Sing Street' is the film that follows 'Once.' It doesn't feature big-name stars, but it beautifully showcases the pure passion and beauty through music. I think that's where it aligns with 'Once.' However, the music has a quite diffe...

  (I translated Korean to English with the help of AI.) "Turning Everyday Life into a Journey Through Drawing" When I come across a scene I like while walking outside, I draw it. I call this process "Turning Everyday Life into a Journey Through Drawing." "일상을 여행으로 만드는 그림" 저는 집밖으로 나가 걸어다니다가 마음에 드는 장면을 만나면 드로잉을 합니다. 그 과정을 "일상을 여행으로 만드는 그림"이라고 이름 붙였습니다. 

("I translated Korean to English with the help of AI.")  In the movie 'Forrest Gump,' there's a famous line, 'Life is like a box of chocolates.' Forrest's mother says this because you never know what kind of chocolate you're going to get until you open the box. I'm going to draw a nostalgic candy box filled with various colorful candies and slightly change the meaning of that line. (영화 "포레스트 검프"의 스포일러가 있을 수 있습니다.) 영화 "포레스트 검프"의 대사에 이런 말이 있죠. "인생은 초콜릿과 같다." 상자를 열기 전까지 어떤 초콜릿을 선택했는지 아무도 모르기 때문이라고 주인공의 엄마가 말한 것이었죠. 각양각색의 사탕들이 가득 담긴 추억의 사탕 상자를 그림으로 남기며 그 대사와 의미를 조금 바꾸어 봅니다. Life is like candy There was a time when products labeled "Made in USA" held a certain romantic allure. The American candy shown in the picture above was the ultimate treat for my younger self. Recently, I stumbled upon it again in the foreign sweets section of a department store and bought some. The unique feature of this candy is that it...
