You Can Bury It was an exercise in several things: conflicting color schemes, telling a story, geometric styles… I took on a big project when I undertook this image. Still in my transitional sketchbook, I really wanted to draw how I experienced Korea, its culture, and its people. I always had a feeling that there was a kind of deep magic underneath it all, and that occasionally it simply exploded into being. The text in the clouds, and on her body, reads:
“You can bury it under perfect order
But the magic will escape!”

Did you make the girl blonde because you experienced being an outsider in Korea? I guess when I draw (haha, “draw”) females I tend to accidentally on purpose make them look like me

I don’t know! I hadn’t thought of that. I was trying my best to keep the colors similarly dissected, and it’s hard to maintain shape when you use a darker marker.
