Hi from a long time subscriber in Korea. I never knew we had a vibrant book artist community here. Thank you for opening my eyes!

That's so exciting. You need to write it down. One journal on what you did and one on what you felt about everything.

I wish I had the time. I think the photos I made during my stay will be the best form of memory. Honestly, there are a lot of things I would also like to forget. I'll let things filter each other out as time goes by.

Welcome back. I'm glad you had a stimulating experience. And your books look exquisite. So impressive. I envy your experience. I guess it'll take a while for you to mentally digest all that happened. I look forward to seeing your work evolve. :)

Thank you! It had its many difficulties, which I've spared in the video for the sake of being polite. I've already been home a month and only now starting to feel like things are slowly coming into order inside my head. I'll wait a bit longer and begin opening the books I bought from Korea and see if I'll experience everything in a new light. Best wishes!

Thank you, Daniel! I'm glad you liked it! The little one is indeed growing and wanting more and more attention. Work is lagging sometimes but otherwise it's all very good! Hope you're well and wishing you wonderful upcoming holidays!

Добре дошъл! Определено звучи като интересно изживяване. Надявам се негативните неща да останат в миналото и просто част от опознаване и израстване. Топли начинът, по който описваш завръщането и това са си сред свои. С нетърпение чакам следващи неща от теб и цялото семейство. Успех.

@Stopan 2 жыл бұрын

Благодаря! Да си призная, лека полека започват да остават на заден план негативните неща. По едно време малко надделяваха. Наистина, едва тук успях да се отпусна. Не съм много по пътешествията и това да съм чужденец някъде, доста ме потиска, особено на толкова непознато. Из Европа не се усеща чак така. Работим усилено по новите неща! Подготвям материалите, за да ги покажа адекватно скоро. Поздрави и весели празници!

Thanks for sharing this experience. I appreciate your willingness to expand your artistic horizons by leaving your comfort zone and culture. I think that over time the benefits will reveal themselves to you more and more as you process the complexities and layers of the experience. And these things of course will inform your art. Can’t wait to see what you create!

@Stopan 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you! I feel the same way. I've given freedom to let everything in my head fall in order on its own. Maybe after some time, I can begin properly analyzing how all these things have affected me and how exactly they have left their mark on me and my work. I'm curious to see how things will evolve as well. All the best!

Holy shit! Where do i start,the journey,the bookbinding with korean paper and metalwork(the stopan headbands from silk!!) the tight scedule,you having to compromise with less tools,Korea itself,how you appreciated their culture but was longing for your own,the fact that you are a father! Ill just say im glad you had that experience,and we are eagerly waiting for more of your work

@Stopan 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you, Turgon! I'm happy you found the story exciting! As I mentioned in the video, I'm still processing everything that happened. I'm wondering too how all of this will affect the direction of my work but I have let go of the reigns so to speak and will let everything sort itself on its own without too much analyzing. All the best!

Anyone ever told you that you look exactly like Baron Roman von Ungern-Sternberg (the Red Baron, the Last Dharmapala)?

This is the first time, to be honest. I'll read up on him!

@servus_incognitus 2 жыл бұрын

@@Stopan quite the interesting character if you ask me, although you might find him to be very controversial. But looking at a pic will suffice for you to notice the similarity in appearance.

He does a little. But he was known as The Mad Baron or The Bloody Baron.
