Editorial;The most precious gift

In 2006, I was commissioned again from SamSung Insurance for testimonial essays. It was a collection of essays from essay contest and I did editorials for each 15 or so essays,cover art as well.

The first commissioned work;The Family

My first client was SamSung Insurance Company in Korea. The Insurance consultants in Korea usually presents house keeping book for the coming year to the customers at the end of the year, for 2006, Samsung made a house keeping book with art and essay. I was lucky enough to do art works for each 12months collaborating with my writer friend, it was life changing experience for me to think about my new career as an illustrator, also think about meaning of the family which was the main theme of the project.

At Last!

 Hi,everyone,I'm happy to open my first blog!My name is Joung Sun Choi, I was born and raised in Korea,"Sunny" has been my longtime nickname.Like many other artist, I've been on a journey to find my voice. After getting master's degree in Oriental painting( Korean traditional painting), I worked as a fine artist, focused on human figure.While I was showing my works in 9 solo shows in Korea and Japan, I was lucky enough to work as an illustrator, that amazing experience let me travel farther to study more about illustration in San Francisco. Here I chose some of my old Korean Paintings, where I started from.
