about me ::
현재 서울에서 활동하고 있습니다.
주로 책표지, 소설, 잡지, 어린이책에 그림을 그립니다.
요즘은 티셔츠, 벽화, 초상화, 로고도 그리며,
또 어디에 그림을 그릴까 기대하고 있습니다.
사실은 무엇을 어떻게 그릴까가 제일 고민입니다.
Hello, I am a Seoul based illustrator Gwen Lee. Mostly I have used simple line and ink drawings but, I think that it's still strong and effective to communicate ideas and emotions. I get inspiration from observation of everyday life.
