Kim Jung Gi kink sketch from OMPHALOS (NSFW) (2015)

I have a confession. I’m obsessed with Kim Jung Gi. It’s true and there’s no denying it. To be clear, my obsession isn’t unique. Kim Jung Gi is a global object of obsession. His approach to drawing is truly once in a lifetime, and anyone who has watched him work will agree that he is a master.

In a short interview with Kim Jung Gi, he mentioned that he loves to draw what is "in his mind", and the stuff he thinks about frequently happens to be random, perverted, sexy and violent. He draws motorcycles, robots, automatic weapons, tanks, animals, lots naked women (tattooed, tied up, giving and receiving sex acts), lots naked men (also tattooed, tied up, giving and receiving sex acts), and tons of slice of life drawings of parks, ramen houses, and shopping centers.

In addition to drawing all the things in his mind, he also mentioned that he is overloaded with commissions to draw all sorts of things that he is far less enthusiastic about (comic book covers etc.), but accepts because…well we all have to make a living, right?

In summary, there are two types of Kim Jung Gi drawings: 1) that which comes from within his head, and 2) everything else. I NEEDED TO HAVE ONE OF EACH (for now….).

My “from inside his head” drawing is this super weird and awesome scene involving a sexy librarian equipped with an AR-15, who is apparently interrupting a freaky BDSM orgy involving tattooed and tied-up women, a naked man in a pig mask, and another man that looks A LOT like Kim Jung Gi himself, who appeared to have been “working on” the tied up woman until the sexy librarian entered the room. I purchased this from Olivier Souille from the French gallery: Daniel Maghen Gallery (https://www.danielmaghen.com/fr/index.htm).

My “everything else” drawing depicts a Korean warrior (possibly from the Joseon period) who is fighting an undead decomposing zombie warrior with 4 arms. When I purchased this from Mr. Kim at NYCC 2019, I was told this was a commission to help market an upcoming (coming soon) zombie series coming soon on Netflix. I was also told that I was not allowed to post pics of this drawing until the series was released.**UPDATE: The Korean warrior piece was posted here for a period of months, but was flagged by the KJG group and I was told to take it down.
