I climbed a freaking mountain today.

Oriental Watercolor class. 'Nuff said. I'm too tired right now to go into details, but I definitely will tomorrow.

Instead, I'll ask you guys to help me out with this. Well, more like ask for your input.




What you see above is a word by word copy of a translation a nice Korean student gave me and Madison of the topic sheet for our painting studio class yesterday. Last week our teacher Choi Inseon, handed out this topic sheet (in Korean of course) but they ran out before I could get one, so I was at a loss yesterday about how to go forward with this assignment, until Madison showed me this translated topic sheet given to her by another student.

Even for other Koreans, the topics we had to choose from are just plain weird. Translate that into Engrish and you get serious WTFage. Yes, I copied this exactly as I saw it. That does say "Japan and condom," and "leggings on toilet" to name a few.

Anyway, we were supposed to have a few sketches based on these topics, and do a painting of it due in two weeks. Ideally, Choi Kyosoonim should check your sketches before you choose one to go forward with. However, I was told several different things by Madison, other classmates, and the professor himself. After all the confusion, in the end I really just choose whatever sketch I want, and next week the professor will check our painting progess and ask us about how this relates to the topic, etc etc.

So. Help me choose one, I ask all you readers. Whichever one that you think would look most interesting as a painting, has the most interesting concept, whatever.



"Love that is piled up and added."



"Diamond shape that makes us sad."



"Being in existence."



"Faster, higher, stronger, white fear."


Haha, again, I didn't translate any of that....>.<

Once I can narrow it down to I guess, two sketches, I'll do a tighter more final sketch on those topics, and then decide the final one.

I liked the book and eye one a lot too. But i also found your "being in existence" sketch very interesting.
