From Vietnam to Nepal, Lee Me Kyeoung Expands the Geographic Bounds of Her Corner Store Drawings

Tucked into mountainsides and among bustling streets, small corner stores are often a central point in a community. For Lee Me Kyeoung (previously), these local shops provide endless inspiration for an ongoing series of drawings. The Korean artist documents the tiny markets she encounters around the world, utilizing pen and acrylic to create exquisite visual odes from Australia to Turkey.

Me Kyeoung’s drawings were recently collected into a book, and you can follow her work on Instagram.
