Busy Semester…

Posted by Yohan Na On February - 3 - 2010ADD COMMENTS

This semester’s going to be a one busy one. 15 credits plus 15hours of work in the week. Tuesdays and Thursdays are my studio artdays. Sculpture class and Drawing. Hope these classes are good.

I’m still frustrated because I’m still not getting the education I really want. These people give me the most immature response…telling me that I could go take a class more advance somewhere else if I really want it so bad. Some old folks need to really chillax and re-think overthis again. I PAY SHIT TON OF FUCKING MONEY. why can’t I study want I want? i feel like I’m paying my self to be in this prision.

My life is short, seriously..I’m not going to just waste it sticking up with these guys. I need to get out of here. I will.

Don’t Criticize – Give Constructive Criticism

Posted by Yohan Na On December - 3 - 20091 COMMENT

I’ve been extremely busy lately. With all the school work to be caught up and bunch of artwork to do before end of next week. Next week, I will be having a BFA review which means all the art professors and faculty members in the department will be there to check out my work and critique and see if I am growing in my artwork or not…Its really getting me nervous. But the good thing is that it’s making me actually make some new artworks. Once things settle down I will post my new works and also start adding more articles for my ‘Love Inspiration’

Seriously though…Why’s there gotta be so many haters? Don’t people understand the difference between criticism and a constructive criticism? It makes a heck of difference. I feel soo disrespected when someone comes to my artwork and say shit about it with out giving me a proper reason. Even just the negative tone of voice…really pisses me off. But I do respect and appreciate thier comments, because thats gonna make me grow, but I still pisses me off. Don’t try to find things to say shit about my work, don’t come with that negative thinking of “oh what can I say shit about this piece today? cuz I’m so better than you and I can say shit” attitude. Can’t you try to find something good to say before you go right ahead bashinig on other people’s work that they’ve spent hours and hard sweat into the piece? But in the end, it doesn’t matter. whatever. There will always be haters, and there will be the buyers and supporters, which will easily out weigh the haters. Let us all show respect to others.

[Love Inspiriation 1] – 17 Awesome Logo Designs

Posted by Yohan Na On November - 11 - 2009ADD COMMENTS

So! Here’s my first offical post for my Love Inspiriation! In this category, I’m hoping to share alot of other artist’s work. I will try my best to give proper credits to those owners of the images. Hope everyone find these posts intersting and interesting enough for people to follow me!

I’ve started to find real interest in the power of icons. I just realized that even the process of creating logos and icons are so very important. Each little details, every little thing about it is important. For example, when I was working on creating some icons for my website, I realized how difficult and how much  time I had to spend checking and rechecking. Having the image size 16×16 isn’t much space to really create anything complex, but that’s why each pixel counts.

Here’s I want to share some of the awesome logos I’ve collected.

Enjoy!

I think I just suck at communicating. As much as I try my best to let other understand how I feel, or what I’m thinking…I think I’ve always been trying to figure out away to communicate. Language…I can speak three languages, Korean, English, and Japanese… not enough for me to fully express myself through communicating in the form of words. It’s really hard for me even understand myself I guess. But what I’ve been really tying to do is shout out to the world that I exist, that I’m here. Although I may be like the small dust of sand on the beach, so small and maybe seem meaningless, I know that there’s some potential inside of me…waiting to grow, waiting to break out to freedom. I want to let my mind free, so I can freely express myself…my emotions, thoughts, dreams…

That’s probably why I’ve become an artist. Since I suck at talking, communicating through words, (although I tend to use alot of words) I want to let myself out through art. Trying to communicate things that are not easily communicated. Sometimes I will get stuck in expressing myself through art or images, then I play the music. I always listen to music, but making music and playing music is different…I am exporting my feelings and emotions through the rhythm, the beat, the melody, the song lyrics…communicating through the form of music. It’s probably why I’m so addicted to TweetDeck now, and Facebook, socializing in online games…I guess its easier for me to communicate through the aid of computer technology and internet. No, Internet isn’t my friend, but it helps me to be connected with others…but at times it can also distance. Its hard to find the balance in life, how to express yourself. But we can’t stop though… gotta let the words speak! let the images talk the thousand words. Let music make us dance and sing the way we want to. Lets express ourselves freely!

Addiction: Twitter, Facebook, Blogging, and WoW

Posted by Yohan Na On November - 8 - 20091 COMMENT

Exactly as what I’ve written in my title, I think I’m getting really addicted to all the things, Twitter, Facebook, Blogging, and WoW. Well, pretty much the first three things are because of me started using Twitter Deck. And Yes I did install WoW… Finally… seriously the patching and downloading took forever… I’ve probably spent about 5,6 hours trying to figure out doing the right instsall and stuff… I know crazy yeah? I am crazy!! Seriously I’m getting more and more addicted to my computer!!!! lol
