A Mountain in Hokkaido

This is my first time doing a piece like this outside of an art class! I used crayons which was a bit difficult because I wasn’t sure how to blend it. I ended up using Vaseline which made it look 10 times better. I have started getting in the habit of seeing where I haveContinue reading “A Mountain in Hokkaido”

Bedroom Sketches

Here are some sketches I did in my bedroom to practice drawing using references! I usually use images of different K-pop idols when I do this, but sometimes I’ll just use any image I see on the internet. I will show the sketch as well as the reference I used for it. I hope toContinue reading “Bedroom Sketches”

K-pop Groups That Hooked Me! Pt. 4

Continuing from where we left off last time: KiiiKiii: I first heard about their interesting and abnormal concept on YouTube. It gives me “girl next door” vibes. At first, I thought their concept wasn’t going to stand out much to me because it didn’t have a concrete theme, something I see often in 5th-generation K-popContinue reading “K-pop Groups That Hooked Me! Pt. 4”

K-pop Groups That Hooked Me! Pt. 3

Continuing from where we left off last time: POW: I really loved their song, “Dazzling”! Afterwards, I didn’t really hear much from them until they released their single “Valentine” and their mini-album Boyfriend. I later tuned in to their latest mini-album titled Being Tender. Since I’ve been consistently liking their releases, I’ve decided that I’llContinue reading “K-pop Groups That Hooked Me! Pt. 3”

Intruder

This is a piece that I made for my Introduction to Visual Arts class. It was meant to help me learn perspective and I think it turned out really well. Maybe in the future I will draw it again in color.

SWICY EP Review/Analysis

The K-pop group UNIS has been on a roll since their debut on March 27, 2024, with the EP WE UNIS, and, their later release, the single “Curious”. It’s starting to seem like I have a habit of getting into 5th-generation groups after their 3rd release (the same happened with ZEROBASEONE, RESCENE, and BOYNEXTDOOR lol).Continue reading “SWICY EP Review/Analysis”

K-pop Lore is Actually Interesting

Many people have expressed that they see lore in K-pop groups as just another way to boost music video views and simply gloss over any lore-related content. In my opinion, I don’t think that’s always the case (or at least not the main reason). One of my favorite K-pop groups, P1Harmony, came out with anContinue reading “K-pop Lore is Actually Interesting”

Freedom of the Mind (12/11/24)

John F. Kennedy once said, “Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth.” In the fiction novel Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, freedom is explored in both personal lives and politics. The protagonist Kambili begins to stray away from her structured life that was governed by her father. At the sameContinue reading “Freedom of the Mind (12/11/24)”

K-pop Groups That Hooked Me! Pt. 2

Continuing from where we left off last time: CLOSE YOUR EYES: I listened to CLOSE YOUR EYES’ debut album, ETERNALT, on a random day in April. Of course, this was another K-pop group I had no knowledge of (besides the few posts I saw of people insulting their name lol). However, I loved the albumContinue reading “K-pop Groups That Hooked Me! Pt. 2”
