毒品/BELLA DEA, ARTIST

We were lucky enough to stumble upon Korean artist Bella Dea in the subway of all places! There was an art space at the station closest to our hotel and saw her artwork first which as you can see was all manga figures or animations. Having the opportunity to meet Bella herself, she explained how she started as a artist, sewing these felt figurines for her young son as toys. We think they’re pretty dope. Check check!
