her name is seattle
and this is how she became seattle…

.

ramon: she’s cute… in a dark kind of way…

patrick: is that what you looked like when you were a kid, mimi?

mimi: ummm

ramon: nope…. mimi and i looked alike when we were kids.

patrick: well, she has your lips for sure, mimi… are you guys related?

mimi & ramon: no~

ramon: i think she’d live in a place where it rains all the time… like seattle…. her name should be seattle sherowski….

patrick: she should be just seattle… like seal…

jin: she doesn’t have a last name because she doesn’t have a dad…. she ran away to seattle….

ramon: her mom’s always drunk…

jin: she ran away to seattle to look for her dad…

mimi: ummmm…..

patrick: she’s pippi longstocking gone emo….

ramon: you should give her freckles…. on her shoulders and arms too…

mimi: she has ‘em already…. even on her earlobes…

evan: and she never talks…

ramon: she only nods her head…

mimi: and shakes…

ramon: seattle’s really cute….

patrick: yeah…

mimi: ok…. time to clean up, kids…. go home….

    Oh Mimi ~ so d e l i g h t f u l . . .
    I love how you can be so precision-like with her features and then perfectly pull together but loose elsewhere. I envy that!
    And keep going! You can do it! These are such wonderful splashes of tone and emotion.
    xo,
    C.

  • mimi yoon replied 23 days ago

    haha.. I love the back story to the name! I really love charcoal as a medium. This is so good mimi, her eyes are just awesome.

  • mimi yoon replied 23 days ago

    kids are so inspiring and i learn from them all the time…
    i should share the kind of things they say while watching me draw when i do sexier girls…. quite interesting and utterly entertaining… ; )

    Congrats on that great accomplishment….happy Boo day to you as well and good morning lovely lady.

  • mimi yoon replied 23 days ago

    thank you again, chris…. had this business for over 9 years now… started with 14 students then went up to close to 150 students… now with this economy, just a bit slower…. but i enjoy every minute i spend with the kids…. sometimes i worry if a parent ever walked in, we’d cause her to question if we were doing art or simply playing…. because we do play ; ).... and do art at the same time…. art should be fun… :D

    thanks chris~

    Mimi, As ever captivating and compelling of analysis. Now Freud or Jung fight here. (LOL!) Hmmmm, That gloomy foreboding look… Weighted by a heavy open matte of art board space above, she wistfully contemplates her name;minimized by how much of her shrinks below peering eyes. This child within, maybe she was you, is you, views the adult world/legacy you have created with a heavy heart. Seattle is rain and gloom and quite possibly the winter blues comes early. Good news is she can be transformed on a newer page, perhaps dominating more landscape, more mature, and confident. Seatle is a single page in a book of glory. The little girl who could… ;-) RVG

    Love the playfulness feeling, although she looks a little quizzical.
    I can sense a slingshot in her back pocket, I know her kite hadn’t broke free cause… Ya Ain’t Never Done That! ....yet xoxo

  • mimi yoon replied 22 days ago

    err
    actually her kite has a big hole in it…. she wanted to know if it’d possible to fly with a hole(some are designed that way, you know, and fly fine)... and she shall make it fly one day even with a big hole…. and you sensed it right (a slingshot in her back pocket)... : )
    as for me and myself, i am forever 28…. ; )
