That's creepy-cute. o.O I'm not much of an art-appreciator, but I kind of like it. Not that I'll be hanging it in my bedroom anytime soon or anything.. It's still weird. :x

PS: Yay, first!

woohoo! count on taeyeon to charm anyone even if they're staying in seoul for 10 days tehe so cool it actually inda looks like her :D

its cool but i find that his art doesnt really have enough variety

ooh cute o____________o
*meheheheh, I dont find it the least bit creepy but amazingly cute XD*

He's one of my favorite artists as well.
Its a popular art style, and aside from Hideaki Kawashima, my other favorite is Mijin Boa~ ^^

Whoa, it totally looks like her. Nice stuff!

nice. I love the picture
btw...
Taeyeon is a super talented singer. <3

They ARE weirdcute! If I'm not mistaken, he did a bunch of other Korean celebs aswell... ? Can't remember but I'm pretty sure she was one of a bunch. Taeyeon's awesome.

I would imagine Tae-yeon would be pretty honoured by this. And the artwork is nice. But Hideaki Kawashima's "Night", "Tentacle" and Twist" looks a bit eerie though.

He captured the miles between her eyes.

No offense, she looks like a sperm in the bottom pictures. The big picture is beautiful.

"Hideaki Kawashima’s “Night,” “Tentacle,” and “Twist”; Tae-yeon"

What's with the Japanese and TENTACLES? Sigh . . . ;)

". Subversive, or just a twist on Japan’s cute culture? "

Superflat-ish. Ever watched those mecha shows where we see enbryonic and aborted versions of what would eventually be a formed person, being or monster? Kawashima's work kinda riffs off that to explore essence of people (kinda like a person's "spirit") without categorizing factors of identity. The lack of angularity, strong colors, full lips and engorged eyes suggest a kind of hyperfemininity, but his work cannot be qualified as innocent, sexual, or aware of objectification from a 3rd paty. In other words, it lacks the usual content associated with femininty; it's a bracing detachment that expresses intuitive and sometimes primal reactions, that transcend what is me and what is you. It merely suggests that before we are created in front of (for?) other people, there is something else that it is essentially us, profoundly shapened and misshapened by the world that our clothes, language or behaviour patterns do not express.

The exaggerated upward slantness of the eyes reflects Tae Yeon's determined, stubborn nature; the unassuming flatness of the mouth reflects her lack of guile or pretension with other people, and perhaps also a lack of suspicion about the motivations of others. The almost seeweed-like "fingers" and color of her hair comments on her as a fresh ingenue, still finding roots in her life.

OMG THANK YOU I LOVE YOU!!!!!!
i had pictures by this artist saved on my comp, but then it crashed. didnt remember the name though.

THANK YOU!!

beautiful.... pictures.

freaky...not in a good way

i love it, but it's something I'd use for just layouts, or a wall paper on my phone ^-^. it's an art piece that just...doesn't have much depth in it. lol maybe it shows the artist's obsession more than anything xD.

lol I personally don't think it's creepy wierd. tehehe. the eyes and lips are the most outstanding aspect of the drawings.

definitely cute & creepy. i like the 1st one, but the floating heads makes it really creepy.

i can't imagine how's taeyeon going to react when she sees the paintings!
big eyes is kinda creepy i mena really creepy!!!!

the seconda dn third loooks like a ghost!!!!

O-o mabe its a japnese culture thing
