Cupid Kissing Psyche (1798)... or is it?

[from one of my blogs, http://invisiblevisiblefriend.wordpress.com/]

In Musée du Louvre, a painting by François Gérard (1770-1837), "Cupid Kissing Psyche (1798)" resides. 

This was one of my most favorite imagery-- until I encountered this particular cuddly odd couple on the Central Line (중앙선). Again, it was the Central Line that had this odd couple.

You see, this is really pretty as a painting, when it is not so personal in a public space with real people. A painting of something makes it less physically real in the sense it is just canvas and paint, but Public Display of Affection on the subway, from 2 middle school boys, is quite a shocker. I would have ignored them and even not considered them for my next drawings in this blog, but then they kept crawling into each other's lap, really digging in there, and really getting into my space on the subway; I must add, it was not crowded at all. In addition, they kept glancing over at me, more than once, looking up and down and whispering really loudly in each other's ears. Yes, that is really sweet of them isn't it? Notice the sarcasm in this previous statement.

In light of that sarcasm, I must continue with making one more comment; may this couple forever be happy with one another--  together, their annoying qualities are mirror perfect of each other.

A little boy running around the Office Building section of the National Museum of Korea (국립중앙박물관 사무동 부분)...  Just how short and pudgy and cute is that?

On the Central Line (중앙선), here in Seoul, it appears to be a centre (pun intended) for crowding of people with interesting looks. 

This particular doe-eyed man in his early 20s, with curly hair and quite the forehead, appeared to be trying very hard to come off as dandy; perhaps the suit was not working and I wanted to scream out loud, "perhaps dude, if you were a girl, it could have worked"; but then again, in retrospect, I could not be sure on that. Something still just appears to be off with him. Off. Off. Offfffffffffffffff.
