Selkie
Ooo, just edgy and gorgeous, sis…wow. Love the heavy black strokes of the clothing in contrast to the delicate face…xoxo
mimi yoon replied
thank you dear sister… i love doing bold frantic strokes as such… got rid of my headache that way… ;P
thank you for pointing that out… i think you do notice that because your work too is bold and powerful yet so delicately fragile… xoxo
MrHill
Your skill at expressing thoughts/emotions/dreams in the eye, I have no words…..I am blank…
mimi yoon replied
thank you so much, tobey… the eyes are the windows to one’s soul after all… : ) : ) : )
Ray Schloss
blank = void = inspiration?
wonderful work, mimi…
mimi yoon replied
yes… exactly, ray~ thank you so much….
actually i couldn’t think of a title so i stole it from the name of an art exhibition i’m putting together for my high school students… it will be urban, underground, hiphop, street, and skater style show with lots of high school kids and dj and food… june 5th is the opening night… name of the show, fill in the blank! : )

Magic and mysterious beauty Mimi!
mimi yoon replied
thank you so so much, doreen…. : )
Cassey
I’m interested in knowing your mood when you created this. It’s beautiful but not soft as others. She looks hurt or angry, as do the strokes. Not that I want you feeling that way, but to me, this is one of your most emotive and best works.
mimi yoon replied
hi cassidy… did this last night (late class on tuesdays)... i didn’t feel like setting up for a painting and was flipping through a magazine… saw a very blurry photo of an african male in black leather jacket with the most beautiful rich seafoam colored wall background… almost no details to his face… so~ i thought may be i’d draw him with charcoal… then about 40 minutes later… voila~ she was born… : ) i wasn’t angry or hurt… just had a bad headache since monday morning… quite unexpected answer, huh? : )
thank you so dearly, cassidy…

mimi yoon replied

Larasolnishko
she is trying to tell us something with her eyes….Mimi help me…what is that?
mimi yoon replied
hi lara… : )
i am not sure… love drawing and painting eyes… my favorite thing in the world other than lips and hair…. and i do believe they always convey emotions and sentiments, but i don’t always do that intentionally… something that i cannot articulate or subconscious and most private thoughts come through at times… i think… thank you so so much for your support, lara…. xxx

The InnerNorth...
I like the deep mystery and shifting in this image ,,how the whole work is being held together by the triangle from the eyes to the lips and jaw line ,its a great example of how you have mastered refining facial features and then not relying on that ability to finish the figure
Pam Hunt-Bromf...
