Surprise!

15, Dec 2007

When we moved to Seoul from the country town of Paju in August, I put an ad online for other musicians in Seoul. I found some great guys, and we made Mosaic. We had a lot of fun playing together, and I loved singing again. I actually quit my job to pursue a hotel contract [...]

Wholehearted Hands

This week, Adam had his photograph, “Wholehearted Hands” published in Seoul Selection’s weekly newsletter for the Seoul expat population. They published Adam’s “Kimchi” photo last December. Good job, babe! -Jessica

Korean Drumming

6, Jul 2007

Free concert or movie? That’s what we were trying to decide. We made the right choice. Last night, Adam and I went to the north of Seoul for an incredible concert of traditional Korean drumming. It was outdoors on the grounds of the Hwa Gye Sa temple at the base of a mountain. An awesome [...]

Radio Star!

19, May 2007

I just found out by a friendly comment on my NPR at EV blog post that the National Public Radio/Marketplace story about English Village aired today in the States. And, some of my interview made the cut! If you’re in America, I might be talking to you through your radio this week! Tune in to [...]

NPR at EV

19, Apr 2007

I was teaching Art with a Korean co-teacher named Hye Yoon. We had just gotten the kids started on making their surrealist collages of animals when a young American guy with a big furry boom microphone peeked into our classroom. He was accompanied by a woman from City Hall (our admin building), so I let [...]

Adam is a published photographer!

13, Dec 2006

Seoul Selection, a weekly newsletter for expatriates, published Adam’s photograph “Kimchi” in this week’s edition. Adam took this picture a few weeks ago while walking around Insadong in Seoul. There was an army of Ajumas (old aunties) preparing kimchi for the winter. Cool, huh? . -Jessica

Cross-training

9, Dec 2006

Adam and I have had the creative bug lately. Adam has picked up his paints and pencils again. He has done a bunch of sketches, and today he did some watercolors. He’s also doing a little acting. It’s fun for him. Adam’s is also continuing to do a lot of artistic photography, and he’s thinking [...]

Great Second Art Class

15, Nov 2006

I taught my second class in Myeong-Dong last night. It went very well and was lots of fun. The lesson was titled, “Connecting Eyes and Hands,” and I took them through a bunch of fast figure-drawing exercises Rosie Paschall taught us years ago in Art I at MBA. I had them do thirty 10-second sketches, [...]

Art is in the air

8, Nov 2006

I haven’t mentioned it all here on the blog, but many of you probably know that I’ve been taking classes this fall through DePaul University’s School for New Learning. I took a ‘sabbatical’ from college at 19 to get some life experience and think about what direction I wanted to go with my education. Eight [...]
