Mipa is a good friend of mine. She lives, and works in South Korea. She is currently editing english essays, and working on her new blog http://aliensdayout.blogspot.com/ . The images above are a few older works. She has told me she is stepping away from graphic design, painting/drawing, and pursuing different career opportunities. Personally I think she should keep it going, but i guess if you are no longer into it, then its time to move on. 
Make sure you check out her site here and check out her new blog.
Maybe you should even drop her a note, and encourage her to keep creating!
