This makes me feel all kinds of funny…

I have been successful in being granted a a place in the three-month residency at The National Museum of Contemporary Art studio in Changdong, Seoul! This was totally unexpected, as I didn’t hear back from them [...]

Obsessions

Bit-Torrenting is amazing.
So is my anally-retentive iTunes Library organising skills (aided by Doug’s iTunes Scripts… thanks Doug).

Musical that I have fallen in love with in the last 24 hours:
Monty Python’s Spamalot

Chicken Art…

Don’t ask questions, originally uploaded by jeremyinkorea.
Ahhh Korea – the land of strange choices in English translation.
The sign in Korean says:
Seoul Munhwa Kwan (Seoul Cultural Museum)
