KOREAN BAR AND RESTAURANT
BUL, meaning "Fire" in Korean, is Washington DC's first "pojangmacha". Located in the heart of Adams Morgan, we serve Korean comfort foods. Specializing in Korean comfort foods and traditional favorites like Odeng Soup, the menu also includes innovative signature dishes like K-Pork Fried Rice, where succulent Berkshire pork chashu is paired with tangy roasted kimchi. Owner's Note: Enjoy ice cold Soju and Makkulli with some small bites. That's just a step away from heaven in our books.

FROM THE ARTIST
The portrait of Bob Marley called, “Respect” is a representative piece from a collection called, ‘Peaceful Renaissance’. The collection features the faces of prominent historical figures and offers a glance of what spirituality could have appeared like in their world.
With a masters of Arts from Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore MS, a Bachelors of Psychology from Hampton University and a Directors Certification from New York Film Academy, my love for the art of making things was reinvigorated when I sought to individualize my experience and place by creating artful expressions of people who inspired my journey. I wondered how they became successful and if their experiences were more spiritual than most people’s.
The illustrations featured represent pieces from a collection of prominent historical portraits called, “Peaceful Renaissance.” The collection features them in a spiritual context while offering viewers a glance into a dreamscape presence.
ABOUT DALILA BROOKS
Beginning her artistic career as a graphic designer in the magazine industry more than 20 years ago, Dalila found herself emerging toward a hand-painted graphic print style while building on her background as a storyteller from film school. Her experience as a black and white photographer assisted her in defining her preference for using black paint or ink for her work. Each image is a story in photography and film is the masterful piecing together of many images to tell a story. Using her various skillsets from each field of study, she has simplified the storytelling process by using one color, one background material (usually reclaimed wood) and one person.
