as if he had been drawn by a child. Recently, I drew a simple drawing with a ballpoint pen for my daughter. Whenever she looks at my painting, she always comes to me with curious bright eyes. She is my big fan and loves all of my pictures. Above all, when she sees my paintings, she wants to add something to it. "Mom can I add anything to this picture" Usually I don't allow it because I have to sell, keep, or use it on another purpose. Every time that happens, my daughter looks at me with eyes full of disappointment. I even make coloring pages for my daughter, but She doesn't satisfy with it. As always, she eagles my original painting to add and modify something. So this time I drew an original picture that she really wanted and can add as her preference. The picture above shows a child looking at an iPad. When I was a kid, the iPad didn't even exist. Like the girl in the picture, I used to lie down under the blanket and read a book. Kids these days sometimes look at their iPads like this. As soon as my child came home from school, I showed her this picture. She still asks, full of smile. "Mom, I think it would be better if I added something on it. I can help you!" "Of course you can do this picture. I drew it for that!" She jumps excitedly, grabs a number of colored marker pens and starts to paint. Then she is happy that the painting has become more beautiful. But when I took a closer look, I saw that she was even better with lipstick and a ribbon pin on her hair. Jean-Michel Basquiat, a famous graffiti artist, aspired to create drawings that looked as if he had been drawn by a child. This pointed crown as we know it was created by Basquiat's hands at the first time. This crown, which started out of respect for a specific artist and black people, was later used as his signature in addition to drawing only the crown. Jean-Michel Basquiat (French: [ʒɑ̃ miʃɛl baskja]; December 22, 1960 – August 12, 1988) was an American artist who rose to success during the 1980s as part of the Neo-expressionism movement. It was the work of Jean Michel Basquiat (1960-1988) that graffiti was recognized as a contemporary art in urban problems. Basquiat's graffiti was definitely different from the previous ones. He wrote an autobiographical story as a poem or drew graffiti by adding various symbols, and then left the phrase SAMO. At that time, interest in who Seymo was in the New York art world grew hot, and Basquiat emerged as a star at the same time. In his early works, which were exhibited along with photographic works documenting the SAMO period, works containing his characteristics, such as images drawn by a child, repeated texts, and traces of erasing and covering them, are displayed in earnest as follow as below. I like his graffiti of his early time. It looks like some doodling or scribbling but it shows the unlimited expression with naive inspiration.
Just as if my daughter drew something like scribbles on my picture, but it was not a kind of mistake. If we look closely, our lives are a series of mistakes, and even though it seems that we are being led by wrong choices and fates, like children's drawings, it is not a mistake or wrong overcoating, it is a beautiful art in itself.

Saint Patrick's DayToday is St. Patrick's Day. Saint Patrick's Day, or the Feast of Saint Patrick, is a cultural and religious celebration held on 17 March, the traditional death date of Saint Patrick, the foremost patron saint of Ireland. The Celts were primarily a native of Ireland and Scotland, and were known for their valiant warriors, feared even by the ancient Romans. But in the eyes of the Romans at that time, they were wild, ferocious and uncivilized. It was St Patrick who reached out and shared the gospel of Christ with them. Although the Celts were not civilized people, they loved nature and enjoyed poetry, songs, and symbols. Saint Patrick preached the gospel according to their nature-friendly and warm heart. In the end, St. Patrick not only evangelized Ireland, but also contributed greatly to reforming various bad customs and practices of the Celts. St. Patrick's Day is not a holiday. Shops and schools are open as usual and trains run regularly as well. The largest and oldest St. Patrick's Day Parade in the world is held in New York. The parade always takes place on March 17th, and if March 17th falls on a Sunday, it will be held in advance on a Saturday. (The parade starts at 11:00 and ends around 17:00.) As St. Patrick's Day approaches, we get a message from school telling the kids to dress in green. Green is also the color of the Irish flag. When Saint Patrick preached the gospel to the Celts as a missionary, he even compared the Trinity to a clover. To commemorate this kind of green, today I am writing with green in my drawing.
Green Eggs and Ham by Dr.Seuss Dr. Seuss, pseudonym of Theodor Seuss Geisel, (born March 2, 1904, Springfield, Massachusetts, U.S.—died September 24, 1991, La Jolla, California), American popular writer and illustrator of immensely children’s books, which were noted for their nonsense words, playful rhymes, and unusual creatures. Dr. Seuss earned a bachelor’s degree from Dartmouth College in 1925 and did some postgraduate studies in literature at Lincoln College, Oxford, and at the Sorbonne, but he did not earn a doctorate. Geisel was the first to use the pseudonym Dr. Seuss in a cartoon published in the July 1927 issue of The Saturday Evening Post. He was not a doctor who meant a doctor who treated patients, but he used that title to mean a doctor who prescribes the fun of reading to young students. The biggest feature is the use of lime. In some cases, the titles such as 'There's a wocket in my pocket' and 'The cat in the hat' rhyme, and the words that rhyme constantly appear throughout the reading. It's like reading a poem or listening to a Rap music. I heard his name a lot because he was a writer who was loved a lot by Americans, and the school celebrates Dr. Seuss Day by making it. My daughter also borrowed Dr. Seuss' books from the school library. And She reads it out loud every day. It is written in rhymes, so even children who can't read or write well can easily follow along. Two characters appear, one recommending a green egg and ham, and the other refusing to dislike and keep running. green egg? and ham? Just thinking about it makes me lose my appetite. He says he doesn't want to eat, but he insists on following him to eat. In the end, I took a bite of food that seemed to be tasteless because it was 'green', but somehow it wasn't so delicious. Lime is also a genius, and he teaches a lesson in breaking his prejudices. Many children have borrowed this book from the library, so there are a lot of hand stains here and there. It's fun to imagine how many children would have read this book aloud. I am a person who draws, so I am more interested in pictures or illustrations than in the contents of this book. Reference: https://www.britannica.com/biography/Dr-Seuss In particular, I think the scene that follows the cave into the cave is the best example of the hatching technique. He was good at sketching as if he dynamically entered the cave and ran on the wind. Dr. Seuss was a pioneer in children's literature and the best-selling picture book author of all time. Dr. Seuss has published more than 60 children's books, drawn and illustrated by Dr. Seuss. From an early age, he liked to draw unusual shapes of people and animals, and he liked to give them funny names. Ted would often go to the zoo with his father, and each time he would take pencil and paper and sketch things he had seen. For a child, sketching is a kind of fun play. Kids are ready to draw anytime, anywhere. My child saw a picture of a guinea pig I drew a while ago and asked how to draw a guinea pig easily. I just showed her how to follow along. My 5-year-old daughter worked hard to follow along. At this age, it is not easy to see and follow the exact shape. That's why we need to simplify the complex picture and show it. A child drew such a picture The Guinea pigs image below are copyright free. Anyone can download and use the picture of it. In this sense, I also uploaded it to the Pixabay site. Springtime in Chernobyl If you get used to something, you become familiar with it or get to know them, so that you no longer feel that the thing or person is unusual or surprising. So, getting used to something can be both good and bad in a way. However, if your heart is far away from this familiarity, you will feel that the colors you longed for at the beginning are gradually fading. The ongoing and seemingly unstoppable Ukrainian war is gradually disappearing from the main news. Still, we are donating and praying with one heart out of concern and sympathy for children, women, and the elderly who are still suffering. Personally, I met with friends a while ago and lamented that all we could do was text or donate. And personally, it's sad that there isn't much I can do as an artist. I've posted before, but I'm posting today because I wanted to share my thoughts on the blog, the only place where I can talk about the world when I'm feeling unfair and frustrated. I suffered from shoulder pain for several days and was unable to write or draw. I think I will have to go to the hospital more often and get related procedures. However, even while lying in pain, a comfortable place to lie down is deprived of space, and Ukrainians who fear every day come to mind. I hope that the war will stop as soon as possible, even for a day or even a second. I hope this is not a wish of a powerless individual. A Wall Street analysis has found that the probability of a Russian war turning into a nuclear war has risen to 10%. BCA Research released a report titled 'Rising Risk Of A Nuclear Apocalypse' on the 4th (local time) and said, "The possibility of a global nuclear war that will bring the end of human civilization over the next 12 months is uncomfortably high. We're allocating a 10% chance." Many people are terrified whenever they hear such news. Or maybe some are just so used to it that they don't care. " Spring time in Chernobyl" is a cartoon depicting the accident area that has become an off-limits area with the people still living there visiting the Chernobyl area, which was the worst nuclear accident in mankind. The artists who entered Chernobyl, saw the scene and drew the work, were the artists' association Dessin 'Acteurs, which means 'artists in action'. Thirty years have passed since the Chernobyl incident on April 26, 1986, the worst nuclear disaster of mankind. This incident has also disappeared from people's memory. However, there are still people living there and people who cannot leave the place even after being irradiated all over their body.
It is also the job of artists to catch and inform the world of things that are forgotten but must not be forgotten. Painting a Portrait Today I finished a simple portrait with a pencil. In the past, I used to draw portraits with acrylics, watercolors, and pencils with my own feelings. And I also painted for my beloved goddaughter Lisa. I love drawing portraits of children. Because it expresses their clear and beautiful soul. There was a time when I drew a friend with a beautiful heart who showed me love and kindness. It is always a happy time to draw my beloved daughter. And today, I drew a portrait of a friend who has moved away. Today, my computer and network often have trouble. We will update the details again tomorrow. |
