I caught up with her for a quick t\u00eate-\u00e0-t\u00eate with the artist who is currently living between New York and South Korea. I\u2019m currently reading her comics blog <a href=\"http:\/\/hello-dear-anne.blogspot.com\/\">Dear Anne<\/a> and I love the quirky one-sided conversations she\u2019s got going on in there!<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Tell me a little bit more about yourself!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Well, well, well, this is one of the most difficult questions for me to answer as always. \ud83d\ude42 I am Hyesu, I am silly, clumsy, happy, messy, all of the place very often just like my illustrations and I love to share the hidden beauty and the subtle happiness with everyone through my work, and my belief is that anything warm and cheerful is highly contagious.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Your style is amazing \u2013 quirky, offbeat and colorful! Has your style always been this way, or has it evolved from something else?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To be honest with you, I always draw the way I draw now since I was a kid, isn\u2019t it weird? Because sometimes in the past I tried really hard in order to draw really well, but it never worked out for me. So one day I just gave up and started to do my own things. I am still jealous of people who draw and paint so well, but I am just happy with who I am. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"image\" title=\"Hye Su Lee\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/4047.jpg\" alt=\"Hye Su Lee\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>How\/Who\/What are you inspired by?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Of course, there are so much inspirations and brilliant artists who inspired me out there, so that I am not snobbish to choose ones. \ud83d\ude42<br \/>\nNot only I am really inspired by all worldly things animals, plants, and the web-like connection between everything in nature, but also I am fascinated with my relationship with others around me.<\/p>\n<p>I really want to have a better understanding about the essence that connects me and everyone else and interprets it into a visual. That\u2019s one of my missions I am on. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>What\u2019s your favourite medium?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I love the mixture of all different kinds of medium. When I am lazy I use crayons, when I feel more lazy I use Photoshop, when I feel messy, I use collage, when I want to feel more like grown-up I use paints, when I miss my country I use Korean paints.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"image\" title=\"Hye Su Lee\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/4045.jpg\" alt=\"Hye Su Lee\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Who would be your dream client? \/ Who would you like to work for?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ooooooo, I need so much space to answer this question, because there are so many clients I want to work for.<\/p>\n<p>But if I have to choose one, I would love to work with Chronicle Books, because there have been so many books that inspired me from the publisher, so I am sure that they would appreciate great artists, and art.<\/p>\n<p><em>{Thanks Hyesu!}<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> &#8230; <a title=\"Hyesu Lee\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/2011\/09\/15\/hyesu-lee\/\" aria-label=\"More on Hyesu Lee\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":36827,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_generate-full-width-content":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1860"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1860"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1860\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":34252,"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1860\/revisions\/34252"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/36827"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1860"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1860"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1860"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
