Description

Back in 2017 I commission this piece inspired in a articule I read about a visit Kim did to Japan that same year to meet he's art hero Katsuhiro Otomo.

I contact him and he's wife accept my commission. Just a few days before NYCC she wrote me back asking to keep the piece secret since Japanese publisher and as far as I know the laws are not friendly with private commissions.

Beside a few people that I show it privately, I kept my promise for 5 years.

Since Mr Kim pass away and no longer affect in any posible way and as tribute to him now I make it public.

To this day, still one of the true master pieces of my collection.

Love the art. The world is truly a little less great with his passing especially at such a young age.

The painting looks like the theme of youth and battle,full of the feeling of the future world cyber and wasteland,which is my favorite type!
