While traveling Europe, one of the scenes that come across the most is the artists on the streets. Dreams and passions are felt at the tip of their fingers. Also, I could come across Europeans enjoying that culture quite often. As for me, if I see a painting at a museum that I had already come across before I just take a photo in front of it and move on to the next one. So I just basically look around whereas the Europeans seem to carefully appreciate… [More]

During my childhood, the house on the top of the hillside threw me tons of questions. Things like who lived there and what part of the house the protruded thing would be when looked closer. I can’t even count how man times I had to turn back because I couldn’t cross… [More]

For people in the modern world, morning refers to the time from when you wake up to when you begin work. Although the bulk of the time is spent doing mechanical technical, automated and limited activities, just like anything else in the world, there are different vintage… [More]

I am in search of a legendary work. It is literally a legend. Some say it is just an illusion, some say it didn’t exist at all. That may be so. It surely isn’t seen anywhere today. However, I cannot imagine that it never existed or that it vanished. Never! Why… [More]

Friend of mine told me that he is going to do some paint work nearby Han River, so I followed him to get some fresh air. Cool breeze of river changed my mood and it felt so good… Hmm… this friend… is he Paul Jackson Pollock?… [More]

A few years before the dawn of the 20th century (not 21st century!), the former director of the United States Patents and Trademark Office wrote a serious letter to the President. ‘I think all the inventions that we can think of have been invented. I think it is time to close down the office.’ Holy cow! Putting aside the fact that the proposal carried the risk of making himself unemployed overnight, where did he get the courage to conclude that there were no inventions to be made further in a time when there was no TV, computer, airplane, digital camera, camcorder or mobile phone!… [More]

The Noble Prize winning philosopher Bertrand Russell had talked about the usefulness of ‘useless knowledge’ – how the seemingly useless knowledge encourages deliberation and enriches one’s life. For example, Bertrand talked about how apricot bears fruit earlier than other fruit and how its Latin root is the same as precocious… which dynasty in China started growing apricots among others, saying that such miscellaneous knowledge helps to make apricot jam tastier!… [More]

I always wanted to try this title!… Or, more honestly, I didn’t have any better option because the drawing was unplanned. ‘Even famous artists draw their painting first and then think about the title, don’t they?…sometimes?’ That was my logic… [More]

Good afternoon! It’s debate time again! There is the saying: ‘A flying bird can see widely in high sky’, But a bird that flies low can see better. So, it’s good either way. Not only to mention the early bird thing (If you are a worm, please sleep til late) Then, what would be of value or a virtue in the world of fish from the human’s eyes?… [More]

Where am I? I let my feet take me where they want to and find me standing in the middle of nowhere. But what difference does it make? I take another step. I must have walked a good 2~3 hours. I slowdown a bit to allow myself some rest. Feels like the right timing to lean on a streetlight and smoke a cigarette, casually checking the time with my watch – just like a page in a catalogue. But… I am exhausted to death! I don’t smoke and neither do I have a watch! What on earth was I thinking?… [More]

A night of thunder and lightning. I was asleep. A war being waged in my dream. Although unaware of why the war is taking place in the first place, I am nevertheless fighting fiercely as if to make myself a war hero. At that instant, a bomb exploded… [More]
