Then I got scared and left it alone for a month or two, haha. When it came towards finish I wasn't even sure that I should share it online. I imagined the little girl to be my version of Alice, of Wonderland fame. She wears pink pants :)<br />

I realize I haven't posted since last August. Seems everyone's moved their blogging time to Tumblr, Twitter, and Instagram. Me too, but. I always like to come back to Blogger. :)<br />
<br />
Not too much to say, actually, except 2014 was a rough year, but not terrible. And I have a good feeling about 2015. Lots of things learned, lots more to be learned. I'm always worried about how to "market" myself and find jobs....what to tell people when they ask what I do....what I think I should focus on to get more jobs....stuff like that. Am I making a mistake by avoiding learning motion graphic stuff, am I being too stubborn in not making 2D computer animation, am I being dumb in not making more "rendered" work.<br />
But when the head clears once in a while, I just have stuff I wanna make. And while I need to look for cash monies (lol), it's important that I make things that show my best self. Which comes back to making work that's true to yoself!<br />
<br />
Sigh.<br />
<br />
I moved to a single apartment in November, so I'm still getting myself together, but there are some things that I've done here and there. The page of doodles are things that I want to work on as soon as I finish painting my apartment! One is a 4-panel piece to put on my closet doors, and another is a small sculpture piece. I always want to do little sculpture pieces but material is so expensive and I think I let my brain get carried away thinking about silicon, molds, and other complicated stuff. But this one I can do with paper, glue, and paint! :D<br />
<br />
Hope you have all been well, and a happy new year of the sheep :)<br />

Recently I've taken to charcoal. I've always loved it, but I don't think I ever gave myself a chance to play with it in my own time. I'm still getting the hang of it, like do's and don'ts, but I love materials that I can push around and lift and add back on. I will say, though....paper quality matters. So hard. Sigh.<br />

some are more successful than others....some are just fun doodles. None are quite on the money, but doing my best, yeah? HAHA. but I've been trying to push myself to make a new SOMEthing every day. I often finish a piece during the day and then doodle or plan for the next piece at night. Apparently you're supposed to be most fresh and active in the morning, but let me tell you. NOT ALL PEOPLE ARE THE SAME. I need the morning to relax, and then I can work continually until late at night, haha.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
art-wise, I think things are going in a good direction. Still looks a bit jumbled and stylistically unclear, but it's becoming more focused. Slowly. </div>

In other news, I ordered promo cards! To promote myself as an illustrator! I think I have a handful of pieces now that I can show to people, so. I can't stall any longer, can I. </div>

I was busy finishing my internship, and here I am in April, unceremoniously unemployed again ^^<br />
<br />
But in the past few weeks I have been busy trying to make my own work, and I've updated my website, for anyone who has not seen yet. <a href="http://www.anajkim.com/">www.anajkim.com</a><br />
This piece below I have only put on my Instagram because it's a gift for a friend, and I didn't want her to see on Tumblr, haha. But it was inspired by a poem she wrote, and I finally followed through with it. The following two pieces I probably will not put on my portfolio site, so I thought it would be nice to show them here.<br />

Since most of my new work is on my portfolio site, I will not post them here. I want to say though that it's been really fun, despite this heavy cloud over my head thinking about how there are no jobs, lol. Working and drawing every day is also making me realize how little I know and how much there is to learn, but it's good. It's a good motivator.<br />
<br />
I also didn't realize I get bored easily. It's been about 2-3 weeks since I've been working in this particular manner, with pastels and acrylics, but I'm already searching for something new. Thinking about charcoal next. I most enjoy medium that I can physically manipulate with my hands. Acrylics are fun but it's not easy to be suggestive with it.<br />
<br />
I just don't know how all or any of this can translate into money. Bleh.<br />
<br />
The past few weeks have been a good first step, I think. But I know I can do better.<br />
<br />
Oh, and below are some of the better figure drawings I've done in the past month and a half. I usually go every other week. I skipped two weeks this time...oops.<br />

Some of you may know, and some of you may not know, but I was heavily inspired by Le Petit Prince by St. Exupéry for my last film in school. Heavily. I might even say that I wanted to emulate the beauty and depth of the novel so much that I screwed up my priorities in the process. But, haha.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I kind of grew up with a vague appreciation for it because my mother was a big fan of the drawings, and I even made up a green alien character who lived alone on a blue planet when I was 12 years old. (I should dig it up...probably in my childhood home basement somewhere) At the time I'm not so sure I had read the book. Read it again in highschool for my french class, but probably didn't understand too much of it, and then during college I read it through in English. I wonder if I connect to it because I can understand the weird yearning and wistfulness of the narrator, the titular character, and understand that they're all just the author, talking about himself. Maybe he knew that it was only in this way that he could connect to people.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyways, so currently at the Morgan Library in Manhattan, there is a small but beautiful exhibit about the beginnings of Le Petit Prince story. It was actually written in New York, and first published in the U.S. Original penciled drafts, really wonderful captions and descriptions, and of course, initial story sketches. The author St. Exupéry wasn't a trained artist, but I think that's what makes the drawings more beautiful. He labored over the writing, and labored over the drawings, paring everything down to the most important pieces. An artwork in the purest form for the most purest of intentions.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's because works like these exist that I have never wanted to do anything else but make other people feel something, too. I think most of my life I thought I couldn't dare to think I could try, and then suddenly I did, but thinking you can't do something and really really wanting something are two completely different things. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm going to go see it again, hopefully on a less crowded Friday. It will be there until April 27.</div>

I'm really rusty, but I'm not as behind as I feared I was. I'll upload the best one from each session per week. I have to work on getting the entire form on paper. I tend to leave the head and arms last...and when I try to start with the head, I get preoccupied with the face. Gesture no-no, lol.<br />

it stressed me out a lot...what to put on my business card. because I don't know what I am? not really an illustrator, not really an animator, and not really a fabricator, either. so it's blank, for now.</div>

here's to hoping that when the first round of cards are done, i'll be able to put something on the next batch, haha.</div>

I think it's time to refresh the list, new year and all. I want to be more accurate, though, and say that these are stylistic inspirations. Visuals and the approach. We can be inspired by anything, really...watching a baby concentrate on a task, seeing a half-dead worm trying to make it to the grass, etc. etc. But style inspirations are less of what makes you want to create and more of a......what makes you feel in your gut that you have found an artistic kindred spirit. Artists and works that make you feel like they're helping your work find a home...that you think might have existed (or still exist!) for the same reason you are hoping that you and your work exist.<br />
Literature is an art, so. I count that, too ^^<br />
<br />
Ah, this is hard to explain. But I think you can understand ^^ My old list is <a href="http://floatingdoor.blogspot.com/2012/07/thinking-time-thoughts-dump.html" target="_blank">here. </a><br />

Studio Ghibli films "Tonari no Tottoro," "Ponyo," and "Spirited Away." I basically worship this studio and love all of their films, but these films in particular I've listed for stylistic reasons. The direction, the art, the characters...are like home.<br />

<i>The Brief and Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao </i>by Junot Diaz. Read it a year ago for a contemporary English class. Haven't been this taken by a work of fiction since my Harry Potter days.<br />

films by director Wong Kar Wai. "In the Mood for Love," in particular. I have been obsessed with this one for a few years now, too...<br />

I'm trying to start the year as clear-headed as possible and thought it would be good for me to sort out what is in my brain. A goal for me is to try as hard as I can to forget my ego and forget that I get stressed when I think too much. I suppose that means I need to think less and feel more. Maybe then my good work will rely less on chance and more on intention HAHA.<br />

My friend Niv (<a href="http://www.nivsekar.com/">www.nivsekar.com</a>) and I made a little animated holiday greeting! Below the video are some process photos we snapped on our phones along the way. We had only my deskspace to shoot in, and we had to work around our internship/freelance schedules through December, but it was nice to do a low-key little project. I thought if I ended 2013 without new work I'd really hate myself HAHA. Luckily I had a lot of cardboard (I might be a cardboard hoarder), fabric, and paper so we didn't have to do too much buying.</div>

We began with the idea of small houses, tiny flowers, and something spinning. We knew our resources were extremely limited, so the stopmotion animation was limited to something simple, like rotation.</div>

Working in a team is really nice because you can keep each other motivated and accountable. You get new ideas but you also have someone to edit yours. So thanks, Niv!! It's a small piece, but I'm really glad I can end this crazy year of transitions with something I'm proud to share with my family and friends. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, holiday, and wishing you all a Happy New Year 2014.<br />

I usually put on a movie that I've been meaning to watch but never got around to, and just play around with my paints and pastels. In the previous post, I made one of the blue pieces while watching Ponyo, and for this post's yellow piece, I watched The Royal Tenenbaums for the first time. Lovely film :)<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Wish the U.S. didn't dismiss it as a children/family "genre." Genre is category of subject matter.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Animation is an art form. It can express ANY genre, and sometimes it's most effective in dealing with heavy subject matter because it allows you to be subtle and abstract. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyways, it's just really disheartening to see people in their late 30's and 40's who are still struggling to be a professional animator, still clinging on for their big break. They work their whole lives trying to stick to it in the "system," while becoming jaded and bitter that they've never been able to really make the film they've always wanted to. The way they talk, it's like there's this big knot in them, and it can't be undone. I don't want to be like that. To be honest, I really dislike like 90% of the animation that gets produced in the U.S. But I've always been sort of outside the popular opinion. And at the end of the day, something has to sell. That way more things can be produced.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wonder if I'd rather get a day job that I feel useful and appreciated in and then make work that I really want to make in my spare time. People say it's really easy to let it slide and never get to your own work.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And others say that doing professional work in the commercial world can really help inform your personal work, too. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But why do they talk with so much frustration.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This post is getting real long, but I'm almost done. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The thing about doing art, is that I let myself get caught up in the idea of success and recognition. I thought if I worked hard, that was enough. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But you know, that's not why artists choose to be artists.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I always wanted to learn how to make animation, and I did. I've gotten the very basics now. I realize now that it's not the technical animation that I love, but creating a feeling, an experience.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And that's enough, isn't it?</div>

All are acrylic, chalk pastel, and charcoal pencil on cardboard. Seeing as I can't be splurging on nice paper, and I have a lot of cardboard boxes lying around from the recent move..........<br />

i have named the above characters Gochi, Nimo, and Ko, who live in Tojii. still tweaking their designs and color, not quite there yet. but minus Ko who doesn't talk, they are lively and chatty. Tojii is extremely colorful.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have been thinking about painting a lot. and felting, haha.</div>

<br />
for the month of September I traveled to South Korea with my mom :) Somehow it had already been 9 years since my last visit. Did a lot of things, saw a lot of things, met family members I hadn't seen in a long time. I'm really glad I went. I haven't organized all the photos from the trip yet, so that'll be another post. My trip can be summed up in these words: food, mountains, dragonflies, and weird family dynamics, lol.<br />
<br />
But big news! I'm making the move to Brooklyn in less than a week, joining a handful of my classmates and a lot of alumni. No, I don't have concrete plans, but I'm determined to try a lot of things and meet a lot of people. Try to figure out what it is I can do. How to make money! Haha. *sob* I'm interested in a lot of things...different kinds of puppet fabrication, set fabrication, visual/concept design, children's book illustration, 3D illustration. But I'm not quite good at one thing, so. I'm hoping through experiencing different "jobs," I can start to funnel my skillset into something marketable.<br />
There are a couple things that are consistent across my work, though...whatever medium it is. I place a huge emphasis on color, and character. I find the details of a small moment just as fascinating and important as an entire story.<br />
I LOVE watching detailed character animation, but DOING it is another beast. It's just. so. difficult, lol.<br />
<br />
Anyways! So I've always enjoyed using chalk pastels, but my first real attempts began sometime in sophomore year, for fun. My roommate had a new box and gave them to me. That summer I took a children's book illustration class, and used pastels to do some of the assignments. Then junior year happened.....that was a crazy nightmare lol. Used pastels for my graduation film's visual development. In the middle of senior year I was so stressed that I sought out my pastels again as a kind of mental break from the frenzy of trying to make my graduation film. Ended up using pastels in the film itself. For one of my last semester painting assignments, I used pastels again.<br />
and on my Korea trip, I packed my pastels. You never know.<br />
<br />
I wrote all of that because I don't know what it is about them, but I don't fight them like I do with pencil. I think it's because it's similar to sculpture? You have to push the material around; it's very physical, yet forgiving. It's hard to be very detailed with pastels from the getgo because it'll get covered up anyway, so your brain doesn't even think about details when you begin.<br />
<br />
Two new recent drawings. Each is about the size of a large hand.<br />
this one I tried combining with charcoal pencil.<br />

i'm hoping that i can publish it by saturday! all that's left is making the drawings for navigation icons, haha.<br />
i'm really excited, i've put a lot of thought into it. my skills are pretty limited, but luckily there was a super clean template on weebly that gives me just enough flexibility to get creative with the organization.<br />
i find that my best work comes from problem solving within strict limitations. *sigh* haha.<br />
anyways! here is an image preview; i will post when the new site design is published. slightly worried about redirecting the domain name thingy (i always get flustered when i'm dealing with this kind of stuff HAHA), but weebly is so helpful and user friendly, i think i will be okay ^^<br />

finished this in photoshop. the original sketch for it is in the previous post. i've liked fauns since i was little, probably when i first watched fantasia as a tiny child, lol. harpies, centaurs, fairies, etc.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i guess i should try to put in a background? nothing crazy, just a nice suggestion of trees/woods.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i hope i don't ruin it, lol. i'm not very good at backgrounds, but it does look a bit empty.</div>

have been doing a freelance job that ends this week.<br />
in september i am taking a month trip overseas, and in october i'm going to do my best to find an apartment in new york..somewhere..haha.<br />
i've been really confused about how i should "market" myself.<br />
i have trouble trying to call myself one specific thing, like "illustrator," or "animator," etc. etc. because i don't think i'm any of those.<br />
i'm probably a bit scared, because i'm not quite good at anything yet, and in the industry, they say you get your foot in the door by doing one thing really well. a technical skill.<br />
.....aiya.<br />
honestly, more and more i think i'm not an animator. i love and appreciate the medium so much, but actually doing it is a little bit like torture. is it because my technical skills are too lacking? or am i genuinely not interested in animating in and of itself?<br />
i do love most the design and development part of production.<br />
<br />
so while i flounder around hopelessly, i've been developing a story. it's been fun just drawing, like when i was little. the ideas have been floating in my mind since may.<br />

more to come. i don't know in what way this story should be executed. but if there's anything i learned from school, it's that every time i think i "should" do something a certain way, it always fails. some things are their own thing, have their own innate way of expression.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i guess it's my job to try and let that happen without letting my own brain get in the way.</div>
