DescriptionI am a huge fan of how to draw books and Dong Ho Kim is part of a roster of artists published by SuperAni Books out of South Korea. They are most famous for publishing Kim Jung Gi artbooks. (To the best of my knowledge, Dong Ho and Jung Gi are not related despite sharing the last name)This is the cover art to Kim's perspective drawing book. It was originally sold in a KJG art show in France where other Superani artists were allowed to include 1 piece of art and this one sold at that time. The item changed hands a couple of times, and recently I had the chance to get it from a great collector here on CAF. Sent it off to get framed, so hopefully it will hang around a while. FYI - if you own oversized art (like this) that doesn't fit into a portfolio - consider getting the piece framed if you want to enjoy it. I sold a # of great pieces simply because they didn't fit in a portfolio, and only in the past couple of years realized the best way to ensure they hang around is to get them framed. As always, thanks for checking out my gallery. Social/Sharing |

Just an amazing piece. Great perspective and cartoony nature. Big fan of this Korean artist.

I could look at this piece every day for a month straight and I'm sure I wouldn't catch everything that there is within it, just incredible! It took me 10 mins to even see that Kaiju battle going on in the distance on the upper right. That's going to look epic framed and on the wall where it belongs, congrats!

It's a really interesting piece. The colour palette is excellent, drawing the eye to the robot, with the rest of the foreground being muted and the detailed far distance almost disappearing. Nice piece.

I remember seeing this on CAF (It may have even gotten a "Best Of" vote from me).
Once hung, it's bound to stop vistors in their track. Congrats.

Some fantastic art that is worthy of wall space! I can imagine hours of enjoyment find new details with each viewing.

Very cool looking art. The technique is well done and comes across as quite natural. The problem to your solution to dealing with large pieces is that there is only so much space on the walls and a big piece takes the place of several other pieces. Hopefully this is not too big to bring to a future art gathering.

A beautiful perspective in this piece, but I also love the color choices and textures created. Wonderfully detailed all over as well. Congrats on getting it framed!

All those Korean published artists, either as illustrators or Manhwa artists, are often artistic monsters.

Phenomenal piece, Duke!! You can just go down a whole list of fantastic elements at play here: color, the "lived in / used universe" feel, the POV / vantage point, and (yes - you know it) the perspective. The cherry on the cake might just be the sense of storytelling and life here, rich enough to distract the viewer even from the powerhouse list above, as the neighbors scramble to rebuild their fallen guardian to protect their district from the inevitable visit by whichever Kong and/or Zilla is battling in the upper right corner... Or maybe from the return of the blue robot (whose right hand is still clutched in the left hand of the fallen orange bot, spicing the piece with a "you should see the other guy" feel... and -this- is the other guy). Truly a visual and conceptual smorgasbord (which I've also decided to name of the white bear thing on the roof in the middle of the piece... :) ). How oversized is it? I can only imagine how immersive it must be to fall into this thing at a large size... LOVE the tangle of wires and routing / transformer boxes on the phone poles (as well as how the pole on the far left of the piece is used as negative space to give the feel of greater distance (peripherally), avoid visual clutter, and keep the viewer's focus locked in on the center of the piece, where all the action is. What a composition! Fantastic add, Duke! Dong Ho Kim absolutely blasts it out of the park (..but the viewer can still see it land about 12 blocks away from their vantage point here :) ). HUGE congrats, man!!

That piece is a knock-out! What a unique perspective view of a fallen space robot by Dong Ho Kim. I love the way its fallen body is still basically intact, except for a missing leg (And the torn-off arm of its opponent). Interesting how the robot's wires and parts are spilling out like blood from a human. Dong has done an amazing job with the perspective here, depicting the people and businesses in the buildings around the fallen robot. I notice too that its been surrounded by soldiers yet traffic is still moving along the street--Boy is that going to be a trqffic slowdown! Great pick-up, congrats!

Wow wow wow!!! Slice of life interrupted by a robot crash. My eye goes first to the stores. Love the perspective on the store signage on the middle to lower right. Cool Godzilla and King Kong in distance.

You could stare at this for hours on end. Please give us an update when the framing process is completed!

The detail on this piece is amazing - and amazingly executed (including the fantastic melding of the color palette). Many congrats!
