Instagram: @hello_cee_ 1. What's your story? Where are you from?Hello, I'm CEE, illustrator from Korea. I majored in animation, but I prefer still images to moving pictures, so I am now working as an illustrator. My goal as an artist is to capture stories in one single image. I am working in variety of fields including book covers, company papers, magazines, calendars, products, and posters. μλ νμΈμ νκ΅μμ κ·Έλ¦Όμ κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ μλ μΌλ¬μ€νΈλ μ΄ν° CEEμ λλ€. μ λλ©μ΄μ μ μ 곡νμ§λ§, μμ§μ΄λ κ·Έλ¦Όλ³΄λ¨ λ©μΆ°μλ κ·Έλ¦Όμ λ μ’μν΄μ μΌλ¬μ€νΈλ μ΄ν°κ° λμμ΅λλ€. ν μ₯μ κ·Έλ¦Όμ μ΄μΌκΈ°κ° λ΄κΈ΄ μνμ λͺ©νλ‘ κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ μκ³ μ, μ± νμ§, μ¬λ³΄, μ‘μ§, λ¬λ ₯, μ ν, ν¬μ€ν° λ± λ€μν λΆμΌμ μΌλ¬μ€νΈ μμ μ μ’ μ¬νκ³ μμ΅λλ€. ![]() 2. Tell us about your aesthetic.I like flat, simple, unique, meaningful paintings. I started using flattened layout because it was difficult for me to express three dimensional space, but now I prefer to draw objects in a flattened row regardless of the what the background contains. I see interesting points in expressing complex objects to a flattened style and arranging things excluding three dimensional space. It resonates more dramatically when the topic is contained in a simplified image. To be honest, an image expressed same as in real life appears to me like an image with a period. It's a very personal idea, but it seems that simple, inherently expressed drawings seems to incur a lot of spare room of thoughts. I'm trying to make images that can convey messages by taking advantage of this method. νλ©΄μ μ΄κ³ λ¨μνλ©° κ°μ± μλ, μλ―Έκ° λ΄κΈ΄ κ·Έλ¦Όμ΄ μ’μ΅λλ€. 곡κ°μ νννκΈ° μ΄λ €μμ νλ©΄μ κ·Έλ¦Όμ κ·Έλ¦¬κ² λμ§λ§, μ§κΈμ μ΄λ€ λ°°κ²½μ΄λ μΌλ ¬λ‘ λμ΄ν΄ 그리λ κ² μ’μμ. 볡μ‘ν λ°°κ²½κ³Ό μ¬λ¬Όμ λ¨μν νννλ κ²λ μ¬λ―Έμκ³ , μ€μ μ 곡κ°μ μκ°νμ§ μκ³ μ¬λ¬Όμ λ°°μΉνλ κ²λ ν₯λ―Έλ‘μ΄ μμ κ°μμ. μ λ λ¨μν κ·Έλ¦Ό μμ μ΄λ€ μλ―Έκ° λ΄κ²¨μμ λ λ μ μλΏλ κ² κ°μ΅λλ€. μμ§ν μ¬μ€μ μΌλ‘ μ ννλ κ·Έλ¦Όμ λ§μΉ¨νλ₯Ό μ°μ κ·Έλ¦Ό κ°μμμ. μ§κ·Ήν κ°μΈμ μΈ μκ°μ΄μ§λ§, κ°μ± μκ² ννλ λ¨μν κ·Έλ¦Όλ€μ΄ μκ°ν μ¬μ§λ₯Ό λ§μ΄ λ¨κ²¨λ κ² κ°μ΅λλ€. μ΄ λλμ μ΄λ € μ λ λ¨μνμ§λ§ λ©μμ§λ₯Ό μ λ¬ν μ μλ κ·Έλ¦Όμ κ·Έλ¦¬λ € λ Έλ ₯νκ³ μμ΅λλ€. 3. What is your favourite medium and why?Being in college, I used to work with analogue mediums especially pen on paper, but I grew working mainly on digital work after starting my career in commercial field. Reason was to save time and make it easier to modify. Analogue work on paper took a long time due to scanning and correcting, then photoshopped in the second half. Digital drawing can be easily sketched and colored in Photoshop, so I altered my medium. To be honest, I still think analogue mediums can contain a lot more rich expressions comparing to digital, but it seems like that the current form of work is the most efficient way to do illustration as a commercial and personal work in parallel. λν μμ μ μμμ , νΉν ν μμ μ μ£Όλ‘ νμλλ° μμ μΌλ¬μ€νΈλ₯Ό κ·Έλ¦¬κ² λλ©΄μ λμ§νΈ μμ μ μ£Όλ‘ νκ² λμμ΅λλ€. μ΄μ λ μκ° μ μ½κ³Ό μμ μ μ½κ² νκΈ° μν΄μμμ΄μ. μ’ μ΄μ 그리λ μμμ μ μ€μΊκ³Ό 보μ μ κ±°μ³ ν¬ν μ΅μΌλ‘ νλ° μμ μ νκ³ μ±μμ ν΄μΌ ν΄μ μκ°μ΄ μ€λ κ±Έλ Έκ±°λ μ. νμ§λ§ λμ§νΈ λλ‘μμ ν¬ν μ΅μμ λ°λ‘ μ€μΌμΉ ν μ±μμ ν μ μκ³ , μμ λ νΈνκ² ν μ μμ΄ λ°©ν₯μ λ°κΎΈμμ΅λλ€. μμ§ν μμμ μ΄ μ£Όλ λλμ΄ λμ§νΈ λλ‘μ λ³΄λ€ λ μ’λ€κ³ μκ°νμ§λ§, μ§κΈμ μμ ννκ° μΌκ³Ό κ°μΈ μμ μ λ³νν μ μλ κ°μ₯ ν¨μ¨μ μΈ ννμΈ κ² κ°μ΅λλ€. 4. What is your artistic process like?After random ideas are drawn as doodles on my note, organized ideas are brought to Photoshop and specific sketches are made. After the rough sketch, fine lines and colors are added. I usually extract colors from real life photographs, but sometimes I pick colors from images I've been working on. Sometimes, I also refer from famous artists. Objects in my illustrations do not have outlines, so harmonizing the objects and background in colors is the most important thing. So I make full use of the time in arranging and harmonizing colors. Even when I finish idea to color in just one day, I sometimes spend a week relocating colors. μμ΄λμ΄λ μ°μ΅μ₯μ λμμ²λΌ κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ κ΅¬λκ° μ μ‘ν μμ΄λμ΄λ€μ ν¬ν μ΅μΌλ‘ κ°μ Έμ ꡬ체μ μΈ μ€μΌμΉλ₯Ό ν©λλ€. μ€μΌμΉλ λ¬νν μμ μ ν λ€μ μΈμΈνκ² λΌμΈμ κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ κ·Έ μμ μμ μ νλλ€. μμμ λμ²΄λ‘ μ¬μ§μμ μΆμΆνμ§λ§ μ κ° μμ ν΄μ¨ κ·Έλ¦Όλ€μμ κ°μ Έμ¬ λλ μκ³ μ λͺ ν μκ°λΆλ€μ κ·Έλ¦Όμμ μ°Έκ³ ν λλ μμ΄μ. μ κ·Έλ¦Όμ ν λλ¦¬κ° μμ΄μ μ¬λ¬Όκ³Ό λ°°κ²½μ μμ μ‘°νκ° κ°μ₯ μ€μν©λλ€. κ·Έλμ μμμ λ°°μΉνκ³ μ‘°νλ‘κ² λ£λ μμ μμ μκ°μ λ§μ΄ λΉΌμκΈ°λ κ² κ°μμ. κ°λ μμ΄λμ΄λΆν° μ±μκΉμ§ ν루 λ§μ μμ ν κ·Έλ¦Όμμ μμ λ€μ λ°°μ νλλΌ μΌμ£ΌμΌμ νλΉν μ λ μμμ΄μ. 5. Who and/or what inspires your work?I like to draw after reading and inspired by a book, especially poetry. Whenever I read poetry, I always want to draw. Sometimes I get inspiration from movies, photos, and other writers. I also discover inspirations from films with beautiful mise en scene like La La Land, or natural landscape documentaries. μ± μ μ½κ³ κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ μΆλ€λ μκ°μ λ§μ΄ ν©λλ€. νΉν μλ₯Ό μ’μν΄μ μλ₯Ό μ½μΌλ©΄ κΌ κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ μΆμ΄μ Έμ. κ°λ μνλ μ¬μ§, λ€λ₯Έ μκ°λΆλ€μ κ·Έλ¦Όμμ μκ°μ μ»μ λλ μμ΄μ. λΌλΌλλκ°μ΄ νλ©΄μ΄ μλ¦λ€μ΄ μνλ μμ°κ²½κ΄μ μ£Όμ λ‘ ν λ€νλ©ν°λ¦¬μμ κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ μΆμ κ²λ€μ λ°κ²¬νκΈ°λ ν΄μ. 6. What role does art play in your life? How does it change the way you view the world?In the past, drawing was one way of expressing my pleasure. Now, I've become a profession and I'm working to maintain my livelihood. Even so, the whole process of worrying about and expressing things through pictures seems to be the driving force of my life." Especially when I finish a big project, I am so happy and excited. And thanks to art, I became a more creative and flexible person. μλ μ κ·Έλ¦Όμ 그리λ κ²μ΄ μ μ μ¦κ±°μμ νννλ νλμ λ°©μμ΄μλλ°μ. μ§κΈμ μ§μ μ΄ λμ΄ μκ³λ₯Ό μ μ§νλ μν μ νκ² λμ΅λλ€. κ·Έλλ κ·Έλ¦Όμ ν΅ν΄ κ³ λ―Όνκ³ νννλ λͺ¨λ κ³Όμ μ΄ μ μΆμ μλλ ₯μ΄ λλ κ² κ°μμ. νΉν ν° νλ‘μ νΈ κ°μ κ²μ λλ΄λ©΄ λ§€μ° κΈ°μκ³ λΏλ―ν©λλ€. κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ μμ λλΆμ μ°½μμ μ΄κ³ λ μ μ°ν μ¬λ¦Όμ΄ λμ΄μ. ![]() 7. Where did you study?I drew while majoring in Animation in college and learnt more after graduating and working in companies as an illustrator. I think it was a big experience to work and deal with deadlines in commercial companies, which became the foundation for improving my drawing skills. I was stressed out, but I learnt a lot. λνκ΅μμ μ λλ©μ΄μ μ μ 곡νλ©° κ·Έλ¦Όμ κ·Έλ Έκ³ , μ‘Έμ ν μΌλ¬μ€νΈ νμ¬μμ μΌνλ©° κ·Έλ¦Όμ λ λ°°μ΄ κ² κ°μ΅λλ€. νμ¬μμ μμ κΈ°νμ λ§μΆ° λΉ λ₯΄κ² κ·Έλ Έλ κ²½νλ€μ΄ μ§κΈμ κ·Έλ¦Ό μ€λ ₯μ λμ¬μ€ κ±°λ¦μ΄ λ κ² κ°μμ. μ€νΈλ μ€λ₯Ό λ§μ΄ λ°μμ§λ§ κ·Έλ§νΌ λ§μ 곡λΆκ° λμμ΅λλ€. 8. Where do you see yourself in five years?I think Iβll be continuing to work more developed images and move on towards my goal. I expect a happy future that more people would enjoy and wait for my new works. Achieving my plan goals, making another plan for next five years. To think about it, I feel like I've already lived the time after five years from now. μ§κΈλ³΄λ€ λ°μ ν κ·Έλ¦Όμ κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ , λͺ©νλ‘ νλ κ·Έλ¦Όμ λ°©ν₯μΌλ‘ κ³μ λ Έλ ₯ μ€μΌ κ±°μμ. λ§μ λΆμ΄ μ κ·Έλ¦Όμ μ’μν΄ μ£Όκ³ , λ κΈ°λ€λ €μ£Όλ ν볡ν μνμ ν κ±°λ‘ μκ°ν©λλ€. 5λ κ° μΈμλ κ³νμ΄ μλλ° μ°¨κ·Όμ°¨κ·Όν΄κ°λ©° μ΄νμ 5λ κ³νμ μΈμ°κ³ μμ§ μμκΉμ. μ΄λ κ² μκ°νλ λ²μ¨ 5λ μ λ€ μ΄λ€ μ¨ κΈ°λΆμ΄μμ. 9. What about in ten?I think I'm doing what I want to do as a hobby. I was very sad when I couldn't enjoy enough personal hobbies besides my career. After 10 years, I hope I will be able to work happily without having worries as much as I am now. As I speak, I feel like Iβm telling about my hopes rather than plans. Anyway, I hope that day would come. μ§κΈ μ·¨λ―Έλ‘ νκ³ μΆμ μΌλ€μ νκ³ μμ κ² κ°μμ. μΌνλλΌ μ¬μ λ‘μ΄ μ·¨λ―Έλ₯Ό λͺ» κ°μ Έμ κ·Έκ² λ무 μμνκ±°λ μ. 10λ λ€μ μ§κΈμ²λΌ ν° κ³ λ―Όλ κ±±μ λ μμ΄ ν볡νκ² μμ νλ©° μ¬μ λ₯Ό κ°μ§κ³ μμμΌλ©΄ μ’κ² μ΄μ. λ§νλ€ λ³΄λ 10λ λ€μ λͺ¨μ΅μ΄ μλλΌ μ κ° λ°λΌλ λͺ¨μ΅μ κ³μ λ§νκ³ μλ κ±° κ°μμ. μ무νΌ, κ·Έλ κ² λλ©΄ λ무 μ’κ² μ΅λλ€. 10. What do you hope to achieve with your art?I hope βpoetry" would come to mind when people see my works. I want to draw paintings and literature closer, and I want to inspire people to read poems through my paintings. Itβs beyond imagination how hard it would be, but I want to express the excitement of poetry in illustrations. I want to give special memories to many people with works which sadness, joy, loneliness and warmth coexists at the same time. μ κ·Έλ¦Όμ λ³΄κ³ 'μ'λ₯Ό λ μ¬λ¦¬κ² λλ©΄ μ’κ² μ΄μ. κ·Έλ¦Όκ³Ό λ¬Ένμ κ°κΉκ² λ§λ€κ³ μΆκ³ κ·Έλ¦Όμ ν΅ν΄ μλ₯Ό μ½λ κ°λμ μ£Όκ³ μΆκΈ°λ ν΄μ. κ·Έκ² μΌλ§λ νλ μΌμΌμ§ μμλ μ κ°μ§λ§ μκ° μ£Όλ κ°λμ κ·Έλ¦ΌμΌλ‘ μ λ¬νκ³ μΆμ΅λλ€. μ¬νκ³Ό κΈ°μ¨, μΈλ‘μκ³Ό λ°λ»ν¨ κ°μ μλΆλ κ°μ μ΄ κ³΅μ‘΄νλ κ·Έλ¦ΌμΌλ‘ λ§μ μ¬λμκ² νΉλ³ν 'μΆμ΅'μ λ¨κΈ°κ³ μΆμ΄μ. ![]() 11.

Favourite book?I like Jeong Ho-seung's poetry collection the best. When I was a child, I often read detective novels and full-length fantasy novels, but recently I have became to prefer thinner and lighter books. I think now I'm more inspired by short sentences than long ones. When I read Jeong Ho-seung's poetry, I feel sadness that I have never felt in any sentences. There are pains when the poem talks about his mother or about reflecting on his own mistakes. However, the Jeong's poem always seem to have pain and heal at the same time. My heart aches till I get to the middle of the poem, but it heals by the end. There are many certain sentences in Jeongβs poem which sorrow and joy coexist. μ νΈμΉ μκ°λμ μμ§μ κ°μ₯ μ’μν©λλ€. μ΄λ Έμ λ μΆλ¦¬μμ€μ΄λ μ₯νΈμ ννμ§ μμ€μ λ§μ΄ μ½μλλ° μμλ μκ³ κ°λ²Όμ΄ μ± μ μ νΈνκ² λμμ΄μ. κΈ΄ κΈλ³΄λ¨ 짧μ λ¬Έμ₯μ κ°λμ μ λ°κ² λ κ² κ°μμ. μ νΈμΉλμ μλ₯Ό μ½μΌλ©΄ μ΄λ€ κΈμμλ λκ»΄λ³΄μ§ λͺ»ν μ¬νμ λλ μ μμ΄μ. νΉν μ΄λ¨Έλμ κ΄ν μκΈ°λ μμ μ μλͺ»μ λ°μ±νλ μκΈ°λ€μ κ³ ν΅μ€λ¬μΈ λλ λ§μμ. νμ§λ§ μκ°λμ μλ€μ νμ μνκ³Ό μΉμ κ° κ°μ΄ μλ κΈ κ°μμ. μμ μ€λ°κΉμ§ λ§μμ΄ μνλ€κ° λλ λμ―€μ μνμ§ μκ±°λ μ. μ¬νκ³Ό κΈ°μ¨μ΄ 곡쑴νλ κΈλ€μ΄ λ§μμ μ λ§ μ’μν©λλ€. 13.

If you weren't an artist, what would you be?It's really hard to imagine. If I didnβt became an artist, I would have had lot of trouble. Actually, I tried other careers before I worked as an illustrator, but I caused a lot of trouble at work. I think my best was to be an artist. I've wandered around until now, so I wouldnβt like to imagine my future without art. I want to become an artist even if I can be reborn. μμνκΈ° λ무 νλ€μ΄μ. μμ κ°κ° μλμλ€λ©΄ κ³ μμ λ§μ΄ νμ κ±°μμ. μ€μ κ·Έλ¦Όμ νκΈ° μ μ μ¬λ¬ μΌμ ν΄λ΄€λλ° μ§μ₯μ λ§μ νλ₯Ό λΌμ³€μ΅λλ€. κ²°κ³Όμ μΌλ‘ κ·Έλ¦Όμ μ μΌ μνλ κ² κ°μμ. μ§κΈμ μ€κΈ°κΉμ§ λ°©ν©μ λ§μ΄ νκΈ° λλ¬Έμ κ·Έλ¦Όμ κ·Έλ¦¬μ§ μλ λ―Έλλ μμνκ³ μΆμ§ μλ€μ. μ λ λ€μ νμ΄λλ κ·Έλ¦Όμ κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ μΆμ΄μ. ![]() ![]() Comments are closed.
