Seo Kim is an illustrator, designer, and lover of all things natural, organic, and textural. She is originally from Busan, South Korea and studied at the Savannah College of Art and Design with a BFA in Illustration. In 2014 she graduated from Maryland Institute College of Art where she studied MFA Illustration Practice. She integrates digital painting with found textures. She loves pixels, but only when they don't resemble pixels. Nature is her biggest inspiration, and she loves growing little jungles in her apartment. She focuses on simple pleasures that come from the ordinary, and reminds herself to take a step back once in a while. Seo loves sour gummy worms, pantone color 18-2120, banana pudding, all things related to zombie apocalypses, and her black cat named Spider.
