a little collection of weather...

inner and outer space.

the go-getter

I loved this film. Made me wanna steal a car and go.

that's an asshole burning!

A bit pathetic and typical, I know. But still quite funny to watch.

finally the fall!

A met deadline. Crappy outcome, but what does it matter. I've enjoyed the freedom of not having a project today. Not worried sick over dissertation research, or the anxiety of not having a strong idea. This freedom, however short, is freakin amazing. So I, and my dear house mates, whatched a movie tonight. A movie I've longed to see for a very long time: The Fall. I think it was absolutely wonderful. Beautiful. Inspirational. Recognisable. And with an extremely cute and chubby little girl and wow-he's-awesome Lee Pace. Sweet. I think I'll sleep well tonight.

no bright tomorrow, mr chamorro!

Ah, since nobody reads my blog, I feel no shame whatsoever to publish this little drawing. I had the idea while I had my morning shower, and it kind of made my day, I think. Such a lovely new mantra... Because unlike perverted, inpregnating, sickos from 3rd world countries - I do have a bright tomorrow. So fuck you, Mr Chamorro - really - fuck you!

inspiration.

All of a sudden I long even more to go back to New York. I'm going to have so much fun there, and hopefully United States will be a better country by then. I really love the fact that he mentions his campaign as the best in history in this speech, because it's rather hopeful for a graphic designer to know that perhaps as little as the right message on a poster can change things.

Smile of the day...

Welcome to Tom Cruise's house

This entry is a little overdue, but still worth mentioning... This is my final piece of exhibition design about the Tom Cruise conspiracy. You're supposed to read the stuff on the website before you come to the exhibition, because the whole physical place is intended to feel as Tom Cruise's actual house, and you can see all the proof for yourself. Tom Cruise's house

Gehopsen?

In die sofa gehopsen, oder nicht in die sofa gehopsen.

... the dinosaur talk, damn, that's were he blew me away...

Design event 08 in Newcastle

Leaving Carlisle for just a few hours is like an adventure to a different country. Today I went to Newcaslte with my friends Rushe and Mikaela. It was such a thrill. Just going by train is something extraordinary, which is quite silly. We went around in the city for a while, then we headed for the Design Event 08 talk from Timorous Beasties (such a weird name!). It was awesme! Wallpaper and textile design are normally not my field, but it's infuenced by graphic design (or vise versa), so in that sense it was highly relevant to what I'm doing too. It was really interesting anyway and very inspirational. Before we jumped on the train back to Carlisle, we went for sushi. Mmm, just such a perfect ending to a great day! All of a sudden it felt (and looked) like I was back in Korea. Nari, if you read this, I really miss you!

A commited design

"A commited design needs to be backed up by a commited designer and vice versa", meaning: A good design should have a designer who can talk about it in a good way, likewise an articulate designer should have work that meets the same standards as the talking. This little thing came to light through a conversation with my dear friend Rushe. I stayed up until 2.30 to finish the drawing inside my sketchbook, which is perhaps why there's a typo in it...

Beauty by numbers

According to the golden ratio I'm only partly beautiful, or perhaps not at all.

Being president is fun!

This guy is hilarious!

Makes me want to have him around in the house to do crazy stuff and cheer me up whenever I'm down.

Eduardo Recife vs. Lucky Street

I think Eduardo Recife (misprintedtype.com) has been to Lucky Street... He has a gorgeous new website up by the way. I'm creatively suicidal everytime I have a look at his work.

Moleskine inspiration

There's a whole series of these things on youtube. Some are truely great!

Finally finished...

The "Dinosaurs of America today"/statistics brief is finally finished, which means my dino-mania will hopefully cool down a little bit.

I won the battle!

I had a photographic battle with my dear dad at my sister's wedding. We both took hundreds of pictures and competed in taking the best ones. And looki looki, who is the photographer of the picture they choose to put in the news paper?
