about me ::

Hello, I am a Seoul based illustrator Gwen Lee, I studied illustration at Central St.Martins, London. For my works, 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.
