Minzy from 2NE1 will be celebrating her birthday soon and I have started a painting to celebrate. I’m so snowed under in University work though so I hope I can finish it in time!
Here’s a sneak peek :)

As you may or may not know, Kpop has influenced a lot of my artworks over the past couple of years.
I had a great time at the ‘Korea Calling’ event at London’s ‘Thames Festival’ this weekend!
It was great to see so many other UK K-pop fans in one place. Everybody singing along to K-pop and dancing (or trying to at least in such a big squeezed crowd!) was awesome! (this is why I have no photos of this part! I was too busy dancing, screaming and jumping around! haha!)
Not only was the K-pop night fun, (which included a stall by CUBE entertainment, posing with life size cutouts of Kpop stars, a ‘Noraebang singing room’ and a live DJ accompanied by some dancers, but I also saw an amazing Tae Kwon Do demonstration, A Korean silent film with live music accompanying (and often hilarious live commentary), A very amusing comedy act and an amazing set of music by the Sookmyung Gayageum Orchestra who played a mix of music including traditional Korean music, the Beatles and ‘Gee’ by Girl’s Generation/ SNSD! :D There was also a guy who had some seriously impressive body popping moves who appeared a couple of times during their performance! There was also tasty food, free tea and strange mascot masks and a huge inflatable ball to write messages on.
I hope to see more Kpop events in the UK and hopefully soon Kpop groups themselves will tour here and make us fans very happy.
