on saturday i went to hongdae to shop at the free market. the free market is where artists gather in the park and sell their work. it's becoming one of my favorite places to go. besides all the art venders they also have bands playing. it a great way to spend a lazy afternoon listening to music and buy cool stuff. i did a majority of my christmas shopping there. i can't believe i'm actually finished. now all i have to do is wrap and mail. which will probably take me three weeks to do. there are lots of great finds at this art market. there's jewerly, journals, clothing, picture frames, etc. and the fact that they are all hand made from local artists, rocks. its so nice to have a place where artists gather and you can buy their stuff. the whole free market idea is great. its too bad we don't have anything like this back home. perhaps that will be my new goal. to set up a free market in san francisco when i return. that would be cool. a friend of mine is thinking about selling some of her work there which inspired me to work on some stuff to sell as well. we'll see what transpires. i did come across one artist who's work i feel in love with. it had that gothy-cutesy-anime style that i've become obsessed with. the artist name is delos. i watched him draw a picture on some girl's camera. how cool is that. on my way home i realized i should have asked him to draw on my ipod. if only i had thought about it when i was there. many next time.
remember how a few weeks ago i mentioned the toy museum and had some pictures. well anyway i finally uploaded the video.
be well…

I love the whimsical music he's got playing on his website... and how cute is the map he drew to the Free Market!

I forgot to ask: do they pronounce it "flea" market?
Ethan's free market. That would be super cool!
