Seoul Searching | Cartoon Street + Seoul Animation Center.

I had a 'eureka' moment while watching 'Hwayugi' (A Korean Odyssey), Lee Seung Gi's comeback drama after serving in the military. In episode 2, you'll see Son Oh Gong (Lee Seung Gi) sitting on a building rooftop, watching over Jin Seon Mi (Oh Yeon Seo) as she tries to find her lost umbrella.

Son Oh Gong watching over Jin Seon Mi. It was THIS scene where I had my eureka moment. :)

Jin Seon Mi passes by a row of buildings before heading towards the back alley, and I was like, "Oh my! I know this place! We were there last spring!" I immediately posted my discovery on my Instagram and my Facebook page, where I was later on bombarded by inquiries about the location, how to get there, and the like.

And so, for the benefit of my fellowmen (more like fellow Kdrama addicts, lol), here's a little background about the Cartoon Street, one of the filming locations in Hwayugi.

Sneak Peek | The Face Shop x The Simpsons Collection.

Spring may be far from over, but The Face Shop has already launched their summer collection for 2017. And surprise, surprise! It's another collaboration collection, this time with America's most famous family (not The Kardashians, lol), The Simpsons!

The Face Shop x The Simpsons Collection.

Like most of the 80's babies (I believe we are called Generation Y), I grew up watching The Simpsons together with my siblings. I was so into this animated series, so much that I even begged my parents for a skateboard because I wanted to be as cool as Bart. Haha!

¡Ay, caramba!

Sneak Peek | Miniso x We Bare Bears Collection.

I got hooked to We Bare Bears just recently, thanks to my cartoon-loving eight-year-old son. If you're a parent, you probably have an idea of what I'm talking about.

We Bare Bears!

We Bare Bears is an animated sitcom about three adoptive bear brothers, Grizzly, Panda, and Ice Bear. The bears awkwardly attempt to find their place in civilized society and try to do what everyone around them does - whether it's grocery shopping, going to the museum, or posting photos on social media. Created by Daniel Chong, the show first aired on Cartoon Network in 2015 and is currently on its third season.

I've been following Daniel Chong on Twitter for awhile now, and thanks to his tweets, I discovered this makeup collaboration between We Bare Bears and Chinese variety store chain Miniso. My jaw almost dropped as I marveled at this cuteness.

Promotion through Fun and Colorful Artwork.

Art tends to be a universal form of communication. People relate to the images and colors and can understand the conveyed message even if the artwork's language is not their own. When you want to promote your business or organization through artwork, you may appeal to a broader audience when you use pieces like custom printed vinyl sticker decals or other personalized works of art that contain your message and brand. You might be wondering, "what is a vinyl sticker?" Vinyl stickers are durable, adhesive-backed stickers made from a type of plastic called vinyl. They can be printed with custom designs, making them ideal for promoting brands, messages, and artwork in a visually appealing and versatile way. You can order these pieces of art online when you visit the custom company's website today.

Getting Ideas for Your Stickers
If you realize that stickers are a great way to promote your brand or organization, but you need some ideas to help get your creative juices flowing, you can use the art handbook found on the website. The book can give you direction to coming up with good ideas and also clue you in on how to get your order placed. It will give you the details you need about placing an order and what to expect when your stickers are created.

If you already have an image created and want to share it with the company, you can use the upload button found on the website. This function allows you to upload the file to your account and to start the process of getting your stickers customized and sent out to you.

Sticker Sizes
Depending on your brand or organizational needs, you may want to order stickers in a variety of sizes. For example, if you are promoting a sports team, you may want to order bumper size stickers. This size displays your organization's name clearly so that it is visible to a wider audience.

If you want to promote your brand to kids, you may order stickers that are soft and puffy in texture. These dimensional stickers appeal to a younger audience who may like the way your stickers look and feel. Alternatively, you can also order kiss cut stickers and cut out stickers that can be used as wall or auto decals. The website provides several options that you can choose from when placing your order.

Promoting your brand or organization calls for you to use methods that transcend languages and communication barriers. Artwork that can be imposed on stickers remains one of the more popular ways that companies and other organizations appeal to their targeted audiences.
