Kim Jung Gi

Kim Jung Gi (1975-2022) was an established artist from South Korea whose artwork has attracted the international attention of millions over the last few years. He had a profound ability to visualize his drawing before making his marks. Using only mental pictures, he could draw without a photographic reference.

"I observe things all the time. I don’t take references while I’m drawing, but I’m always collecting visual resources. I observe them carefully on a daily basis, almost habitually. I study images of all sorts and genres," said Kim, who had been passionate about art since he was a kid.

Beginning in 2007, he published six sketchbooks which contain more than 4,500 pages of his monumental art work. His stunning art also brought Court of the Dead to life for fans of the dark fantasy brand. Learn more and celebrate Kim Jung Gi's legacy on KimJungGiUS.com or on Instagram.
