I got nicely invited for a lunch by Charles Hively, the publisher of 3 x 3 magazine, great art director, graphic designer.
It was a great opportunity for me to talk to him one by one in a relaxed mood. He kindly commented about it on his blog, here.
I really appreciate to know somebody like Charles who highly evaluates the use of illustration and supports our work so passionately.

illustration / Comments: (0)
The “shape” of water in your dream, like the amount, form, and transparency is a key to observe. Then, be aware of your feeling as you see the water. Your subconscious mind tries to show you what situation you are in, or what state of mind you have now.

02.28.10 / Evan Lysacek
portlait illustration, sketch / Comments: (1)
Winter Olympics in Vancouver was over today. I enjoyed some of the competitions, like speed skating and figure skating.
Evan Lysacek was the most sexiest and handsome figure skater I’ve ever seen. So I did this quick sketch trying to capture his elegant movement on the ice. But only one thing which bothered me was his hair sticking out whenever he was spinning.

02.21.10 / dream story 5 – house and room
illustration / Comments: (1)
The house or room appears in your dream highly reflects your state of mind. You should remember which room it was, or how it looks like. Was it neat and clean, or messy? For instance, an attic is interpreted as a storage of your memories or feelings from your past. Because the room is located at the top of your house, the dream is linked to your consciousness a lot. If this room in your dream is dusty, or scattered with many things, it might be a message from yourself that you should solve issues from the past. If it’s a bedroom, it’s related to your most private matters, like your secrets or, of course, your sexual issues.

02.11.10 / dream story 4 – sexual dream
illustration / Comments: (1)
I know many people have had sex in their dream. The article said this type of dream is not necessary to indicate sexual meaning. It’s more about connection with others, or reflection of your own state of mind.
If you couldn’t complete sex in a dream, it represents that you have an issue that you haven’t solved yet, or that you have to face up to. If the sex partner was a somebody you know, it might mean that you want to be closer to the person and want to understand him (or her) . Especially, if that person was somebody famous, rich, or having a high social status, you might have a desire to be in that position by yourself. So I guess it’s better to not have sex with a homeless guy in your dream…..

01.29.10 / dream story3 – Being naked in a dream
illustration / Comments: (2)
Again, it’s a series of illustrations of dream reading. If you are naked in the public scene, being comfortable or behaving normal, that means you are very satisfied with being yourself, or you don’t have nothing to hide about yourself.
Good for you!

Have you ever had bathroom trouble in your dream? While you feel the need to go to the bathroom, you can not do so for some reason, like that the bathroom is clogged up or is not equipped with a bath tissue, etc.
The key words related to the bathroom are “evacuation”, “dirty” and “filthy”. This kind of dream could be interpreted as you have some issue inside of you but can not get rid of it or release it now. Or it could mean a bad habit you currently have but you are struggling to quit it, such as smoking or drinking.
Hope you don’t have such a dream tonight!
