Korean Inspired Doodles

I thought it was only fitting that I would revisit doodleland and create some cute things based off of stickers I picked up in Korea. Food and cuddly bears and Stinky tofu- my favorite subjects:)

Preschool Portraits

Today at Poly, my preschoolers had to do self portraits. I showed my students portraits by Picasso, Warhol, and Van Gogh and maybe it inspired them? Ha ha. Or not. Either way, I thought some of them were a-doooooorable!

Fantastic Postcards from Liu Ye

I was perfectly enchanted by these lovely postcards I picked up by the Chinese artist Liu Ye. They are so pulp and kitch, yet pretty and refined. Maybe you will enjoy them as well?

Girly Tourism in Seoul

Going through the day's photos, I realized that tons of my photos from today are extremely girly! Anes and I managed to take photos only in the most cute and colorful places in Seoul. What a fun day! The weather today was perfect and the "Hi, Seoul!" festival has been going on all around the city. Seoul is so clean and well cared for - you can definitely tell its citizens take pride and have much love for thier city.

I love LOVE and this picture demonstrates it!

Anes totally out-cuted me and made her hands into a heart! Aww!

Showing more love, especially for that fantastic little waterfall behind me. How pretty!

Anes and I got turned innocent bystanders into makeshift personal photographers for the day! Well worth it, cause the photos turned out awesome.

Rainbow umbrellas in the air!

Jumping up high for my umbrella!

I am sooo having a Mary Tyler Moore moment here!

Anes and I in a space age bubble. Ooooh!

I am sitting pretty in a frame:)

Anes striking a pose in the photo frame.

Dalki, the strawberry girl and I sharing secrets.

Anes is petting Dalki's cute and gigantic strawberry head.

Dalki and I go waaaaay back!

LOVE- I am lovin' it!

Korea is so ridiculously hip, don't you think?

More blogging to gush about how much I frickin' love Honik University. I coo-choo-choose Honik as my new love of my life. I wanna move there and bask in the loveliness of cute Korean hipsters and the whole non-Foreigner thing. They even had a greaser-50's guy store there. Crazy!

Me doing the creepy thing and modeling with the self timer in the bathroom like a 12 year old on Myspace. Baaaah, I just wanted a picture of my cute new bunny shirt I got for $8 at a boutique around the Honik area.

Soju and Hite beer earrings. Along with a Marlboro and cigarette cell phone dangler. Gotta teach the kids what's up, I guess.

Um, I finally found Nylon Korea..... In the subway. Most magazines here come with awesome samples and they are like 10 times thicker than magazines back in the U.S. I also picked up Cracker magazine, which I saw on the net. Free!!! Street fashion and good stuff.

This girl at Honik totally made these pins and I bought tons of them!!! She was selling them for $1 each- crazy huh? She drew the little pictures then cut them out and pasted and clear coated them onto a wooden back with a pinback. I wanted to buy everyone she had! Sooo cute and awesome! And she was amazed that I was American. I guess there are not many foreigners in the Honik area. Hmmm.

Krispy Kreme donut stickers from the Krispy Kreme donut place I had a snack at. They make the donuts right there in their little factory and they took one right off the line for me to have for free as a sample or something. It was sooooo amazingly good!

Here is a sweet handmade journal I picked up at Honik at the book festival. Some cool college girls made them! Yes! Octopus man is having his way with hot girl.

This blog entry was sooo self-gratifying and probably only interesting to me. Oh well.
