she used to dream in bleu prussien
the color of spanish sky at night
he used to dream in ombre
honey and maple syrup
they are the colors of her eyes
where he’s once drowned
she knows this
because she’s held him once
that is…
in her eyes

mimi yoon replied

whoa i thought the leaf was real…..mimi you truly have a nice taste of doing things
how did you come about adding the squares to your piece …what inspired that
i love it
i knew this took sometime right
and the poem on the side is nice well written
i love how you talked about the eye
you truly are a remarkable artist
mimi yoon replied
thank you so much, cb… : )
the squares… they were just there… and i utelized it… :P…
bought this moleskine® notebook awhile ago to write notes instead of to draw, but… my hopelessly unconventional mind said to just do it... and seems it’s working… thank you again, cb…
mimi yoon replied
oh… and the leaf, i took a photo of a real leaf… layered it on my scanned art… then airbrushed the shadow freehand in photoshop…
so the leaf is real…
macquaid
It is the addition of the leaf that brings this image together,very pleasing to the eye.Regards.
mimi yoon replied
i agree… thank you, macquaid… very much~ : )

Wayne Pearson
Yes ,beautiful work, as usual Mimi, is the leaf a symbol of wanting to fly away, back to your studio, and do the the small squares represent confinment? It doesn’t matter really, it looks great.!!
mimi yoon replied
wow~ that’d be one beautiful way to look at it… i just started to draw and ended up coloring boxes after boxes after boxes… until i got too exhausted… : )
the leaf came as an after thought… it needed something and i saw the leaf sitting on top of my drawers behind my chair… and the words, as they often do, came to me when i was uploading the image on rb and needed something for the description box…
BUT i love your interpretation, wayne…. and thank you again… : )
silverstrummer...
Beautiful work Mimi love the verse too a deifinate favourite for me!! – David – :>

whoa i see you very creative
what do you do for a living
are you a freelance artist if so how is busy for you
you making good money?
mimi yoon replied
i am hopelessly unconventional… creative too, i’d like to think… :P
i used to be a freelance graphic designer… the ads i’ve designed used to run in slam, vibe, xxl, penthouse, and car audio magazines + many other trade magazines(ok, i’m showing off a bit now~ :P)... that is until i started my own art school for kids… i work with high school students putting their portfolios together to submit to art colleges… all of my past students are studying with scholarships in the most prestigious art universities though out the country… : )
money? never enough… :P thanks cb…
Geoff Coleman...
Poor Mimi – housebound for 2 weeks!! Well you mightn’t be able to paint but your whimsical words and graphic wanderings are as beautiful as ever.
mimi yoon replied
i’m about to explode, geoff… :P
thank you so much… still a few more weeks…

Whoa you been around doing big things …very nice mimi
so where did you graduate from
whoa that is so cool of you to help out the future artist of the world
i’m waiting to see if i have any more scholarships coming my way
i have one from kendall in michigan and an art school in chicago nominated me for an merit scholarship….
mimi yoon replied
wow, cb… congratulations… i attended art center college of design in pasadena, california, received a full scholarship to otis/parsons (used to be back then… now they are two separate schools) attended otis, l.a. for awhile, then graduated from cal state long beach with bfa in graphic design… where are you attending now?
colorblind
nowheres ….i was at a local college here in louisiana but i had to pay a loan after my first semester so now i’m still not in school …i paid off the loan though….but i can never find anybody dependable to take me to take care of my business…..so i’ve been out of school since after the fall semester of 2007…..i’ve just been consistant in making my own assignments to keep my artwork growing ….and updating my portfolio….i hope i get a full scholarship or something of the sort ….my background isn’t a good one finiacially…..
mimi yoon replied
hope you enter the art school of your choice and achieve your goal… always be positive and hopeful and strive to be the best… wish you much success in future, bc… starting at a community college and transferring after completing all of the academic requirements is one of better way to go… but you have to meet with the counselor at art school to confirm which courses’ credits are transferrable… all schools are different… continue working on your portfolio, bc… you are very talented…
here’s the link to some of my student’s work ... most are from last year…
colorblind
your students are amazingly talented especially at their ages
all of them are bond for success than they have you for a teach…. so i know they are going beyond the stars…seunghee…i think thats how you spell her name …she really stood out to me she had a great build of work and well crafted…where is she now….are some of your students on the bubble….you truly made my day today …and so did your students even the real young ones amazing …..they are going to be supreme when they age more….because their work is past the level of a normal person of their age…...
mimi yoon replied
seunghee is a wonder… she applied and was accepted to risd, sva, and mica, all with chunky merit scholarships… she is now studying illustration @mica (they offered her the biggest scholarship)...
thanks cb…

Astrid Strahm
Beautyful drawings, I find very cool the way you use the grid printed on the paper to contain the color needed… (sorry my english is not the very best but hope you understand what I mean)
Hope you get better soon… :-)

Estelle O'Brien
Mimi your talent has such depth and breadth….the squares and the leaf and the impossibly elusive look in the girl’s eye…so romantic and so chic yet also refreshing and clean and wistful. A jumble of words I know, but I am writing as I feel as I look! xx
mimi yoon replied
a jumble of words??? so beautiful and inspiring and encouraging, estelle… i truly appreciate them… thank you thank you thank you…
i am so happy you’ve noticed the emotion in her eye… that was the key… you’re great !!! xxx

It’s a good thing I don’t have to pick one favorite verse of yours, you keep touching my soul over and over, prussian blue was my favorite watercolor color for water, I wonder if leaves fall because we fall, or maybe the reverse?
mimi yoon replied
something to ponder upon…. parallel, i think, not because of one and the other… we… leave… all have to fall in order to greet spring again and make new sprout… thank you so much, syd for your kind and wonderful words… :D
