Unfortunately, the extraordinary Kim Jung Gi passed away prematurely, a very bad year this year.

about art videos,
his drawings and the videos that I had seen some time ago had impressed me a lot, years ago I wanted to buy one of his sketchbook books but then for shipping and that I no longer had postpay I no longer bought it, however I think those videos speak of his art or others, fantastic, on a human level, in recent days many artists are paying homage, remembering, they have suffered a great shock
he had entered the hearts of many also as a person, on a human level.

Didn't know him until now. May he rest in peace. He obviously had great skills of observation, attention to detail and drafting images.

Some amazing work! Thank you for sharing this, I hadn't heard of him before. A sad passing.

Yeah it is sad, and way too young.
I knew his work, an amazingly skilled artist.

Only within the last year have I been aware of his work. Saddened to hear of his passing.
