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

A New Book Illuminates Jean-Michel Basquiat’s Prolific Time in Los Angeles
Jean-Michel Basquiat (previously) is often associated with the New York art scene of the 1980s, but between November 1982 and May 1984, the artist was wildly prolific on the other side of the country.

https://player.vimeo.com/video/927633212?h=460cb741b5
