Artist Me Kyeoung Lee has spent the last two decades documenting the tiny convenience stores and corner shops that dot the streets of South Korea. She paints the stores, which are now quickly disappearing, with a dedication to the small details that make each unique. Mismatched chairs can be seen lined up out front, while tall cherry blossoms or persimmon trees shade the buildings’ entrances.

Me Kyeoung Lee draws each of her paintings with acrylic pens and chooses to sketch each at noon to avoid the hazy shadows cast by early mornings or late afternoons. You can see more of her documentation on her website. (via Booooooom, Creative Boom)
