go Korea!

I've come across some really smart and well done stencil/graffiti art popping up in Korea from various sites and blogs. This one is pretty damn sweet. Seen on the wall of the painting department at Hongik University (one of the most prestigious art/design school) in Korea. It's so simple but says a lot, from stereotypes (the smart Asian kid) to breaking taboos and traditions (your Korean kid wants to be a what???) Being an artist is hard, being a Korean artist may be even a tad bit harder. Kudos to those that understand, advocate and spread the visibility of this population. Also parents, if your kid wants a brush, give the damn kid a brush!
