Hyesu Lee in Brooklyn, NY is spending a year writing illustrated letters to a friend every day in a project called Dear Anne...
Why did you decide to do this project? Hello I am Hyesu Lee, you can call me Hey! Hyesu. I am from Korea and studying Illustration at School of Visual Arts, since I am an International student, I have found everybody and everything in NY fascinating. So a lot of times I just wanted to talk about these things casually to my friend. So I started this project.
How has doing a yearlong/daily project affected your life? it has affected me in so many different ways. But what I appreciate most is that now I more care about things that I didn't care as much as before, for example banal conversations I would make with people, things I see everyday, people I run into on a subway, etc.

I love this 365 project...what a fun way to journal! The illustrations and writing style (even the lettering) have the sense of humor that make me want to read...I feel like I'm Anne...lol. I could see this as a daily comic or cartoon series...
I love these letters. Great illustrations and stories. My initial thought when I saw the artwork was Lynda Barry. I used to obsess over Ernie Pook's Comeek and Maryls' Magazine back in the day, and these letters have publishing potential!
