Kim Jung-Gi 2011 Sketch Collection

This book look amazing, actualy ı want one , but how can ı buy this book from Turkey. I 'm buying amazon and diamond comic in turkey, but this book not avelable in this sellers. is there any different bookshop that wordwide sell? for this book. (my english so bad:S sorry :)

I watched the video and I have one question: Is there like a lighter pencil drawing on the canvas that he's tracing with the marker? If not, I don't understand how anybody can draw like that, because I sure as heck can't.

Damn it! Another book I need to buy... must stop myself coming to this site.... lol

BTW the clickable email address brings up the basheer email.

WTF, is he an autistic savant?

How the hell!!

@Mike, don't underestimate autistic people, they're REALLY talented in something. Check this youtube link for another artist who is as well autistic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVqRT_kCOLI

很棒的速寫本!
但需要小心網路充斥著盜版 (有兩種版本)
盜版[ 山寨版 ] https://blog.yam.com/DrBlack/article/42672650

I'm so happy :) it arrived today, and it is an amazing book full of sketches (the format reminded me of Katsuya Terada's Rakuga King). A lot of amazing drawings there.
The only thing I'm not happy about is that I paid a looooot more than 60 USD for it.

Parka, I assume you have this book, correct? What is the majority of what the book displays? Sketches, or comics, etc if you catch my drift? Is it worth a book to look through like Rebus by James Jean? Thanks a lot in advance!

It's mostly pencil/pen sketches, with a bit of watercolor here and there. I actually recommended to David that he contact Parka's blog about this book. He is a very reputable seller, and though the shipping from Korea is a bit pricey, it is appropriate for the type of shipping, weight and distance.

For those who want to look inside, check out this video:

its al in chineese... dont understand anything... i cant find much info about Kim Young-Gi, do you know about an interview in english or spanish??

大陸廉價印書很便宜..一本不過10幾元人民幣

令人擔心的是，有不肖的業者將盜版當正版售出，然後堅稱自己是正版......
Parka先生也許考慮翻成英語警示大家
不要向來路不明的管道購買

ah finally...this is the book i've been waiting for
now i know how to get a copy of this book
thank you parka

you guys might also want to check on kim jung-gi's 2007 sketch collection

This book runs about 134 USD with book + shipping.

LOL WHAT?

Where do you live, to get such a huge shipping? I mean the book is just 60USD, right?

Same here. $135 for book and shipping. I live in the US. $68 for the book and $67 for the shipping by EMS. There is cheaper shipping available (around $53), but it takes 3 times as long to receive it. All of this is through superani58@gmail.com

But I am actually going to order the book soon, I see too much personal value in it for myself. Will have to forget about buying other artbooks for a while, though)

Does anybody know where his previous 2007 Sketch Collection can be bought at? This guy is a genius.

PS: if anybody knows a less expensive way to buy the book, please drop a comment. This is by far the most expensive shipping fee I've come across, but I have a friend from Korea and he confirms that shipping really is that expensive.

I live in California. EMS shipping is pricy -- plus the book is heavy. so S&H is about the same cost as the book.

The book ships from Korea (i'm pretty sure). Not from in the US.

I think it's worth it though. It's one of my favorite books in my collection now :)

Regarding the 2007 Sketch Collection book - it's scheduled to be reprinted next month. Got word from David over at superani58@gmail.com

I was just wondering if anyone here ordered the book from this David and got it?
It would be really sad to pay this much money without getting the book in the end.

Got my copy of the book today, I first contacted David last week and it's been a really fast and easy transaction. Shipping to Australia cost me about usd53. Worth every penny, I love this book to pieces! Very inspirational, I'm going to have to get his reprinted 2007 collection as well when it comes out. Thanks so much for this article, if it weren't for this blog I would have never heard of him!

I got my book from David! He takes paypal which offers a level of reassurance (vs. paying by wire transfer or western union for example). I am also waiting on the reprinted 2007 collection. Kim Jung Gi is amazing - I love sketchbooks so this was a great treasure to find.

amazing magic show~~ Kimjungki...is wizard....^^

I received my copy of the 2011 sketchbook today. It's even more massive than I expected! There's a lot of white space in the book, but I don't see that as a negative. The sketches range from very loose, almost ghosted images, to full watercolor renders. Content ranges from nudes / anatomy / sexuality to military / day-in-the-life / comical. The artist has a great style and quality of line, and he plays with proportions very well. His work is simply amazing; I think it will be studying his style for a long time to come.

I highly recommend this book, but probably won't let my son thumb through it any time soon. This is a shining star in my art book collection. I'll be looking into purchasing his 2007 Sketchbook once it's available.

Just ordered from David, I paid US$60 for EMS shipping to Australia.

Question for those who've ordered books from Basheer before.
When ordering internationally from Basheer, do you order through their facebook by simply messaging them stuff like: Name, Item, Phone Number, email, and Address.
And then they email you an invoice??

Kim在新浪的博客上说要在10月底再版2007年的那一本，但都过了快一个月了，也没什么消息了？上面有人说收到下个月再版的消息不知道可靠不。

Hi guys, posted in this thread previously as one of the anonymous... Got my book today, got here (I'm in US) in 5 days, and man oh man... I just can't even think of where to start. Worth every single penny I paid for it... What really surprises me is not so much his fantasy, but his sincerity and skills, skills and skills.

I'm an art director, been collecting artbooks as a hobby for many years now. Have well over a hundred. This one is in the top three, no kidding. His only peer would probably be Katsuya Terada, albeit with a darker and more Moebius-esque fantasy. My only complaint with the book is that it's too heavy)

PS: special thanks to Parka and this blog for helping me discover this guy!

PPS: no doubt I'll be getting the 2007 sketch collection the moment it comes out)

this is beautiful work.. so pricy though, but for nearly 700 pages, it's pretty justified. something I'll have to think over.

oh! He is the customer of the bookstore where I work.
and, I sell his book.

He is well known in Korea as a very good drawing.

=s=

damn. my dad was in Korea some months ago.. if only i knew about this gem. :(

it's a shame it's n/a on amazon and similar.

The Author/Publisher of this book has decided to make this book available only through their website and hence will not be available in any Book stores until the Author/Publisher decides otherwise.

The 2007 Kim Jung Gi book will be available at Basheer, however, the date cannot be confirmed since the delivery is long due. We will update on facebook when we receive stock. We can door deliver the book in a week once the payment is done. You can pay by either credit card or PayPal. Shipping charges will be additional.

No, I believe there isn't any under drawings. This guy is insane! If you look at the way he draws, he just does everything on the spot, due to hours and years of practice he developed something like a photographic memory.

Mad mad skills. Just wow.

hey man i want to buy the book but my question is will they be able to understand english when i send a email to them that i want to buy the books
another question is their a limited amount or he can make as many copies as he wants?

Thanks for answering back :)
