My Our love for all things Korean continues. Kdramas introduced me to Jeju Islands, and today I would love to share the work of an local artist Bae Jungyeol, who not only captures the essence of Korean life around him, but also runs a bookstore & cafe (with a resident / visiting cat) on Jeju Islands! Bae Jungyeol works with colored pencils and his style is varied – from sketches to saturated canvases depicting daily life and lush landscapes. His understated art is striking in it’s subtlety and simplicity. See more of his works here, and spot the cat in his bookshop!
