My friend, illustrator Alex Mathers (aka creator of Ape on the Moon and Red Lemon Club), had a terrific and well deserved three week holiday in Japan back in March/April after his new book launch. The last few days of his trip were spent in Seoul, South Korea. I asked him to take many photos with hopes of sharing them here on AQ-V.
Above you see the results of his ace tilt-shift iPhoneography. More exciting imagery to peruse in his Japan 2010 flickr set.
Many thanks to Alex for sharing these with us!
