1. Whatโ€™s your story? Where are you from?

Iโ€™m Samsoopil, a freelance illustrator from South Korea. I enjoy the whole process of making images with what I think and what I see. Iโ€™ve drawn illustrations for album covers and magazines. I always try to keep myself open to every kind of opportunity. It has helped me broaden my perspectives and most importantly, love my life more.

2. Tell us about your aesthetic.

I like looking at nicely matched colors. The object can be anything. It can be a scene from a movie, a bottle of beer, a cover of a book, a poster, prints on clothes and so on. When I draw, I believe I can tell different stories by changing the colors I use.

3. What is your favourite medium and why?

Procreate is my go-to application. Itโ€™s intuitive and practical and I relate to these features. One of my goals is to be a digital nomad. So, when I make decisions for what I do now, the first thing I consider is whether it will help me achieve my goal or not. Thatโ€™s why I prefer digital drawing.

4. What is your artistic process like?

On a daily basis, I make a lot of notes and try to record my thoughts. I prefer writing. These days, I write short novels and essays as a hobby and it also helps me come up with new ideas for my drawings. I often imagine what the characters in my novels would look like. And, thatโ€™s why I have so many portraits of imaginary people. 

I also get inspiration from random songs I run into. In that case, I start making a lot of sketches until I find the best way to express the feelings I got while listening to music.

5. Who and/or what inspires your work? 

I like to spend time alone because thatโ€™s when I get inspired the most. Basically, what I see and hear inspires me. Then, I put my thoughts into drawings. But, I canโ€™t always just wait for inspiration to come. Thatโ€™s when I start making lots of sketches. Itโ€™s the process of searching for inspiration in a more active form.

6. What role does art play in your life? How does it change the way you view the world?

Art helps me find balance in my life. Iโ€™m a realistic and rational person, especially when it comes to my career and relationship. Iโ€™m afraid of making mistakes. And, it often stresses me out because everyone makes mistakes! Art frees me from all these concerns and obsession over perfection.

7. Where did you study?

In Korea and US. I grew up in Korea but went to university in the US. The art curriculum was impressive. It taught me how to draw what I think and feel. I still think about the art class when Iโ€™m stuck in a rut while drawing.

8. Where do you see yourself in five years?

I want to do book designs and more album art. I like working on my own too but I love collaborating with others. I have to admit that I enjoy being credited by the clients. Iโ€™m not an artist who just keeps drawing something for my own satisfaction. I like sharing my works with others. So, I definitely want to build my career in that direction. And, I see myself travelling more.

9. What about in ten?

I live alone now and I love it but in ten years, I want to have my own family. It doesnโ€™t have to be a husband and kids. It can be a cat, a dog, a roommate or anything/ anyone.

10. What do you hope to achieve with your art?

Nothing. I donโ€™t want to set any goals with art. Itโ€™s just one of the things I enjoy in my life and I donโ€™t want it to be the only thing I can love. I will keep drawing not because I want to achieve something with it but because I like it. If something amazing happens, it will be great. But, even if nothing happens, I wonโ€™t complain because I already had fun with it.
