designer's blog

This blog contains many interviews with artists and their works.
Actually, when I see one's works, I don't focus on the artist' purpose that much. I used to go exhibition and just I feel art pieces on my own way. However, I think it would be better way to understand the artist's thinking and purpose, because sometines art contains that artist's life. In this interview with Mel Kadel , he said he love to stay in his room and it kind of show in his wroks. His works gave me a kind of cosy feeling like staying in home.He draw many patches in his works.
This blog remindes me the importance of understanding aritsts, so this blos was impressed me.
Also, there bunch of good interviews here~take a look!!

go to the article

This article is about well-kown TV series "Sex and the City".
In the aricle said that the carri cannot exist in New York, Manhatten in these days.
Because, the House rent fee has been rises up to $2,448( on the Upper East Side) this year from $1,542 in 1998. It is impossible to afford from the writer lower imcome. Also, in the Sexs and the sity, there is episode, carrie's boyfriend dumps her by leaving a Post-it on her computer. However, Ms Allison may be best known for her online breakup earlier this year with a boyfriend with whom she once shared a blog. hundreds commented, both on their blog and elswhere, as the relationship dissolved through a series of nasty posts.
It was really interestring article, becuase I agree with everything. Yes, mahatten is an attractive place to live, but it's too expensive and I think that recent, relationship is process in web. I think that this article reflects the present situation well, so I was really sympathize with it.

This aricle about the musical "spirit of Uganda" and the most remarkable thing was the performan dancer are not real actor, they are the Uganda's students. They came for donation of their country and the entrance fee use as donations. I think we can feel real uganda's spirit from this show. It would be give a differenet feeling to audience than trained broadway dancers' performence.go to article

First project

yo~hip-hop

I met Neul in the Club. Last week, my friend visied me from L.A and brought me a club. She introduced Neul to me in club. He was quite a interesting person.
He works at Utrarecord which deal with many famous singer like beyonce. He wears like exactly hip hop boy, even thought he was over 25. However, he has kind personality and good manner that doesn't match with his clothings.Nomally, I thought that hip hop guys are rude and wild. He let us enter the club which was quite hot in these day, actually we can not enter without a friedns in it. He was gorwn up in Korea, but he went to international school, so he cannot spreak korean well. The most interesting thing is that he is a son of Young-Nam,Jo who is a famous singer in Korea. Young-nam, Jo has lots of money but he don't support to anything to his son. So, he was not a kind of spoil children in rich family.
He has quite good position in his work. I thought he would be influenced from his father's talent, so he can sucess in he recording field.
