During the year-long production period, the artist captured
everything from a small neighborhood sign to a single text in an old alley, based on various records and research.
What Jenni Sparks drew goes beyond a simple city—it is the local Seoul.
Just like'Where's Waldo'—it has a charm that keeps you looking,
and fun elements of Seoul that only those who have lived there can know.

Reason for Wadiz Pre-order
