At the studio, an artist observes your face in person and draws the features and expressions that make you recognisable. Sitting for a live portrait becomes part of the memory you take home.

Solo travellers, couples enjoying an Insadong date, friends exploring Seoul and families visiting with children can all enjoy the experience. Insadong and Ssamziegil also offer the traditional street atmosphere that many international visitors hope to see during a Seoul trip.

Alongside your photographs of Korea, a hand-drawn caricature is another way to remember the journey. We draw couple, family, friend and individual portraits, so the picture can reflect the people who shared your visit.

The experience is a good fit for a Seoul travel keepsake, a date in Insadong, a family outing or a gift for a friend visiting Korea. Look around Ssamziegil and add a little time for your own portrait along the way.

One picture can hold the day's expressions and atmosphere long after the trip has ended. The gallery below shows visitors and portrait work from the original post. Find Beautiful Caricature on the second floor by the Ssamziegil entrance.
