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.

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… ; )

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

Still young at heart I see, as this reflection reveals…
she’s (err her freckles) an instant fav mimi
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…. ; )
thank you so so much… always and forever, roy… : ) xoxoxo
