Guerrilla Media: 3WM Takes on Korea

By Matthew Lamers with photos by Dylan Goldby

Tens of thousands of man-hours are spent annually churning out content for the English-language media market in Korea. We’re talking about thousands of stories a year worth billions of won in daily newspapers, monthly magazines and on radio stations. It’s big business. 

It’s just a shame that very little of what’s produced is for the consumption of Korea’s growing foreign population. Blame the money. There’s more won to be had in chasing Korean readers than there is finding foreign ones.

Wow,

this work blows my mind

it changes your perspective with a simple gesture of a new horizon.

Tree Line

‘This is an ongoing series of constructed photographs rooted in the forest. These works, carried out in Surrey, Hampshire and Wales,involve site specific interventions in the landscape, ‘wrapping’ trees with white material to construct a visual relationship between tree, not-tree and the line of horizon according to the camera’s viewpoint.’


Song of the Lark

First of many to come, my favorite parts of Song of the Lark by Willa Cather.

My first kindle book!

I loved the adventures of  Thea Kronborg,

and the descriptions of an artist in their element.

Gallery Golmok Show: Homo-Sapiens

Gallery Golmok, in Itaewon has put together another compelling show. This one being their first for the 2012 year, and so got off to a start with a buzz of artists and voyeurs. This show titled, "Homo-Sapiens" is going on till February 15th. Features several artists all wrapping their talents around the theme of a species that has changed throughout time and also a touch on what it means to live in a world heavily populated (as to what I have gathered).

First a few pictures of walking down the new cafe-shopping street on my way to the gallery.


Schiele Experiment

I have photoshop again! And this time I am really into experimenting. I have made some new cards to release at Super Sketch in Seoul. And I have updates coming to my blog, and website. I also sent in a proposal for an iphone cover design!


Funky Seoul Corner #12: Cal Green’s ‘Trippin”

By Scott Freeman

Cal Green was a guitarist who dabbled in a broad range of musical styles. Growing up in Texas in the 1940s and 1950s, he was at first influenced by the blues. Clarence “Gatemouth” Brown was his idol as a youngster. Then, in 1954, Hank Ballard and The Midnighters came thru town in 1954. An R&B outfit, Hank and the boys had just lost their guitarist to the draft and were in need of a replacement. Cal fit the bill, and he played with this group until 1959. Enter the 1960s and Cal Green entered the world of jazz. Most notably he played with organist Jack McDuff and vocalist Lou Rawls during this time frame.


설날 Adventure - National Treasure # 285

설날= Seollal

The Korean New Year, and the first day of the Lunar calendar.

For this holiday, it was a last minute adventure to see cave paintings.

With only 7 months left in Korea, I want to ensure I see the national treasures.


Taking Space

No one will see these paintings.

They exist in a space that no one occupies.

Once lived in, now abandoned.

Overgrown.

Deserted.

We took two locations.

Taking space.

Making it ours.

Leaving something beautiful behind.

One day soon it will lie in pieces.

It will have been destroyed, purposefully.

I won’t lie, that last panel was fun to draw.
