Pitching change

(I translated Korean to English with the help of AI.) 

(Spoiler alert for the movie "Major League") 

I've been talking a lot about baseball in recent posts. I guess I've been looking forward to the baseball season. There's a scene from the movie 'Major League' that comes to mind when I think of baseball. It's the pitching change scene.



This scene is exactly that pitching change scene. It's also the scene that etched the actor 'Charlie Sheen' into my mind. He's an actor with notable appearances in films like 'Platoon' and 'Wall Street'. Personally, I don't think there's a better image representing him than this pitching change scene.

Especially, I can't forget the song 'Wild Thing' that the crowd sang along to during the pitching change. It's also on this 'Newsletter Playlist'.

As a baseball movie, 'Major League (1989)' isn't an outstanding film. It could be evaluated as just another comedy. As for a truly remarkable masterpiece about baseball, there's 'Moneyball' - 'That's a home run!' (a scene from the movie 'Moneyball'). Nevertheless, I think the pitching change scene from the movie 'Major League' is the best when it comes to showing the intense heat inside a baseball stadium.

(If we were to compare South Korea to a baseball team, we are currently - in April 2025 - in a situation where we must make a pitching change. Hopefully, the next pitcher will perform well and manage to get through this crisis.)

Life is like candy

("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...

Turning Everyday Life into a Journey Through Drawing

  (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.

Drawings are a record of facts and a record of emotions.

(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 ...
