1. What's your story? Where are you from?Hello, Iβm Minsik(Minusigue). I majored in cartoon, animation, communication design, and now Iβm a freelance illustrator / Graphic designer from the South Korea. μλ νμΈμ, μ λ ν©λ―Όμ(Minusigue)μ λλ€. λ§ν, μ λλ©μ΄μ , μκ°λμμΈμ μ 곡νκ³ , νμ¬ νκ΅μμ ν리λμ€ μΌλ¬μ€νΈλ μ΄ν°, λμμ΄λλ‘ νλνκ³ μμ΅λλ€.2. Tell us about your aesthetic.I like to express beautiful scenes, unusual characters, daily life, or surreal moments of dreaming are part of my work. And also drawing small creatures that make me feel weak is the other favorite subject. I'm concentrating on making people feel a sense of comfort, beauty, strange mood kind of thing which makes the audiences can forget about the reality. μλ¦λ€μ΄ μ₯λ©΄, λ νΉν μΊλ¦ν°, μΌμ νΉμ κΏ μμ μ΄νμ€μ νννλ κ²μ μ’μνλ©°, λ§μμ μ½νκ² λ§λλ μμ κ²λ€(creatures)μ 그리λ κ²μ μ’μν©λλ€. μ΅κ·Όμλ κ·Έλ¦Όμ 보λ μ¬λμκ² νμ€μ μκ² λ§λλ νΈμν¨μ΄λ μλ¦λ€μ, λ¬ν κΈ°λΆ λ± μ΄λ ν κ°μ μ λλΌκ² νλ λ°μ μ§μ€νκ³ μμ΄μ.3. What is your favourite medium and why?I prefer watercolor, also the photoshop program for the digital artwork. Watercolor is attractive because of the whole process of preparing work like, touching brushes and paper, painting with those tools on the paper. For the more, watercolor can make textures that can't be predicted. Photoshop is a great feature for the detailed description. And it's easier to make changes to the artwork. μμμ μ μμ±ν, λμ§νΈ μμ μ ν¬ν μ΅μ μ νΈν©λλ€. μμ±νλ μμ μ μ€λΉνλ κ³Όμ , λΆκ³Ό μ’ μ΄λ₯Ό λ§μ§κ³ λ¬Όκ°μΌλ‘ μ’ μ΄λ₯Ό λ¬Όλ€μ΄λ κ², μ€μ€λ‘ μμΈ‘ν μ μλ μ§κ° ννμ΄ κ°λ₯νλ€λ μ μ΄ λ§€λ ₯μ μ΄κ³ ν¬ν μ΅μ λν μΌν λ¬μ¬μ λμ§νΈ νΉμ μ μ§κ°, μμν λ³νκ³Ό μ λμ±μ ν° μ₯μ μ΄ μμ΅λλ€.4. What is your artistic process like?I do take notes when ideas come out in my mind, and then express them on the paper or for digital work. I really put efforts into expressing the fluidity of line or the harmony of the color between object kind of things for the viewers. νννκ³ μΆμ μ΄λ―Έμ§λ μ¬λ¬Ό, λ μ€λ₯΄λ μμ΄λμ΄κ° μλ€λ©΄ ννμ΄ λ©λͺ¨λ₯Ό ν΄λκ³ κ·Έκ²λ€ μ€ νλ λμ©μ κΊΌλ΄μ΄ μ§λ©΄ νΉμ λͺ¨λν°λ₯Ό ν΅ν΄ ννν©λλ€. μ μ μ λ €ν¨μ΄λ μ¬λ¬Ό, μκ° κ°μ μ‘°ν, 보λ μ¬λμ΄ λκΌμΌλ©΄ νλ λλμ νννλ κ²μ λ¬΄μ² κ³΅μ λ€μ λλ€.5. Who and/or what inspires your work?I inspired by the direct or indirect scenery, objects, imaginations, dreams, and realities. Recently, documentaries about nature and animals inspired me, and studio 'Ghibli ' is always great stimulation and inspiration. μ§μ μ νΉμ κ°μ μ μΌλ‘ μ νλ μλ¦λ€μ΄ νκ²½κ³Ό μ¬λ¬Ό, μμκ³Ό κΏ, κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ νμ€μμ λ§μ£Όνλ κ²λ€μ μκ°μ μ»μ΅λλ€. μ΅κ·Όμ μμ°, λλ¬Όκ³Ό κ΄λ ¨λ λ€νλ©ν°λ¦¬μμλ μκ°μ μ»κ³ μκ³ , μ€νλμ€ βμ§λΈλ¦¬(Ghibli)βλ λ μ’μ μκ°κ³Ό μκ·Ήμ΄ λκ³ μμ΅λλ€.6. What role does art play in your life? How does it change the way you view the world?It is one of the ways to communicate with myself or even others that usual language can't do. And it's a good way to make it work for what I want to express in the way I want. μ€μ€λ‘ νΉμ νμΈμκ² μΈμ΄λ‘λ λΆκ°λ₯ν λνλ₯Ό κ±΄λ¬ μ μλ μλ¨μ΄μ, μ κ° νννκ³ μΆμ κ²μ μ κ° μνλ λͺ¨μμΌλ‘ ꡬνν μ μκ² νλ μ’μ 맀κ°μ λλ€.7. Where did you study?I majored in cartoon, animation, and visual design at Sangmyung University.

Where do you see yourself in five years?For now, I think Iβm on the process of working with a sense of stability. Five years later, I might be on a period of accomplishing one or two specific things that I planned or dreamed so far. And now I am interested in making merchandise such as clothing, cups and stationery, so I plan to make a few more categories of merchandise. νμ¬λ κ³ΌλκΈ°μμ μμ κ°μ κ°μ§κ³ μμ νλ μκΈ°λ‘ λμ΄κ°κ³ μλ€κ³ νλ€λ©΄, 5λ νλ μ κ° μ΄λ¦΄ μ λΆν° μ§κΈκΉμ§ κ³ννκ±°λ κΏκΏ¨λ ꡬ체μ μΈ μΌλ€μ νλ λμ© μ±μ·¨ν΄λκ°λ μκΈ°λ₯Ό 보λ΄κ³ μμΌλ¦¬λΌ μκ°ν©λλ€. κ·Έλ¦¬κ³ μ§κΈ ν₯λ―Έλ₯Ό λλΌκ³ μλ μλ₯, μ, 문ꡬλ₯, νΌκ·μ΄ λ±μ κ΅Ώμ¦ μ μκ³Ό κ΄λ ¨ν΄ μ‘°κΈ λ λ§μ μΉ΄ν κ³ λ¦¬μ κ΅Ώμ¦λ₯Ό λ§λ€ κ³νμ λλ€.9. What about in ten?I'll be a Illustrator basically. And I think I'll be working in a larger field that meets the values of the work I pursue as the main theme. Also, art directing is always on my to do list for specific events or festivals and even brands with my characters and values. κΈ°λ³Έμ μΌλ‘λ μ§κΈκ³Ό κ°μ΄ κΎΈμ€ν κ·Έλ¦Όμ 그리λ μΌμ λ³Έμ μΌλ‘ νλ, μ κ° μΆκ΅¬νλ μμ μ κ°μΉκ΄μ λΆν©νλ μ‘°κΈ λ λμ λΆμΌμ μΌμ νκ³ μμ κ²μ΄λΌκ³ μκ°ν©λλ€. νΉμ νμ¬μ μΆμ , λΈλλ, λ¨μ²΄ λ±μ λ‘κ³ λΆν° μΊλ¦ν°, ν¨ν΄, μ 체μ μΈ λΆμκΈ°μ μ΄λ₯΄κΈ°κΉμ§ μ κ° μΆκ΅¬νλ λΆμκΈ°λ₯Ό λ΄μ μ 체μ μκ°μ μ΄λ―Έμ§λ₯Ό 꾸리λ μνΈ λλ ν μ νμ κ³ννκ³ μλ κ²μ΄κΈ°λ ν©λλ€.10. What do you hope to achieve with your art?I'd love to spread my art work as much as possible. Picture books, animations, stationeries, the large image of electric signboards, exhibitions of a gallery, mural arts at small school, posters for the festival, fashion items, home appliances, displays of the pop-up store, any forms of my art work and design can be used in a good way even for totally unexpected places and business filed. μ΅λν λ€μν κ³³μ μ μ λ§μ κ²λ€μ΄ νΌμ Έλκ°κΈΈ λ°λλλ€. μ κ° μ°κ³ κ·Έλ¦° κ·Έλ¦Όμ± , 문ꡬλ₯ νΉμ μ λλ©μ΄μ μ μΊλ¦ν°, μ± μ μμ μ½ν, κ°€λ¬λ¦¬μ μ μ μν, λν μ κ΄νμ μ΄λ―Έμ§, μμ νκ΅ λ€νΈμ λ²½ν, μΆμ μ ν¬μ€ν°, κ°μ μ ν, ν¨μ , νμ μ€ν μ΄ λμ€νλ μ΄ λ± μ ν λ€λ₯Έ λΆμΌ, νΉμ μ ν μ΄μΈλ¦΄ κ² κ°μ§ μμ κ³³μλ 보기 μ’μ ννλ‘μ μ κ·Έλ¦Όκ³Ό λμμΈμ΄ λ리 μ€λ©°λ€μ΄μκΈ°λ₯Ό λ°λλλ€.11.
