The gallery is very close to AGO. I will be there for the opening night, and will probably be around for some other days as well. After the show ends, I'm heading out to NYC, then going back to Seoul. So, if you are around, please visit us. I would love to see everyone before I leave the town!

'Raw Toronto'

The illustration on the top is one of the small drawings I did for my friend Nahad's travel guild book, 'Raw Toronto.'
The last image is picture of myself!(my hair is pretty short now) I shared one of my favorite Japanese restaurants, 'Ematei.'
Limited edition of this book will be available in the near future, and here is Nahad's 'Raw Toronto' blog. Check out more photos of Torontoinas!

Computer Arts Magazine (Korean Edition), Exposure Interview

Computer Arts Magazine did a short interview with me. This magazine is UK based, and they have several international editions. I didn't know that there's Korean edition as well until I was asked. Each month, they are asking several artists from all over the world, and I was lucky to be one of them.
So, everyting is writtne in Korean of course, and if you are in Korea, please check out the CA Magazine (May 2011). (They are using new 'CA' logo along with the original logo)

매달 전 세계의 다양한 아티스트들을 인터뷰 한다고 하는데 저도 사알짝 꼈네요..ㅎ
UK 잡지인 Computer Arts 잡지가 한국판 에디션이 있는지 몰랐는데.. 멋져요^^
그저 열심히 해야겠다는 생각뿐입니다...

Power in Numbers

Recently, I was invited from Gallery Nucleus in LA to contribute to their charity project called Power in Numbers. I was actually surprised when I found out that this gallery is quite well known and some of the illustrators I like, such as Scott Bakal and Sam Wolfe are involved in the project as well. I'm just glad that I can take part in it, and some proceeds will be donate to charities.
I will update some new work in the near future, so stay tuned!
