Artbook | REVIEW | Kim Jung Gi's 2022 Sketch Collection

I had the honor of being one of the first people to get a copy of this book and of course I wanted to record my first-look review and share it with my fellow book-nerds.
This is a 480-page masterpiece by the Superani team. Jung Gi has been busy in the past 4 years, which can be seen in this new book that actually was supposed to come out in 2020, but for some mysterious reason, it was postponed. The result is this hulk of a book that collects the sketches not specifically meant for an adult audience. Apparently, Jung Gi has made way more works which will come out in the new Omphalos 2 (book 1 is back in stock btw).
If you want to get your copy of this book, you can visit the following websites, depending on your location:
▶︎ Europe: www.kimjunggi.net/books-v2/
▶︎ USA: www.kimjunggius.com/collectio...
▶︎ Japan: superanijp.buyshop.jp/
▶︎ Korea: superani.com/youngcart4/
If you are from other countries please order via [e-mail] and you will receive an option to purchase the book.
Many thanks to Jean-Christophe Caurette for sending me the copy, you are the best! And congratulations to the Superani team for another great publication.

I’m so sad to hear that he just passed away. I bought tickets to Lightbox and was so excited to see him, he played a major role in my art journey. Rest In Peace Kim Jung Gi.

[@whereaboutsunknown3822]

Same. Was looking forward to seeing him for the first time at Lightbox this year ;(

[@nika8620]

WHAT!?

[@abubu2010]

yea me too

[@abubu2010]

[@Street.Hermit]

Yeah I know. I used to always watch his live sketches 😞

[@mexiparkourman]

RIP Kim Jung Gi. I just ordered this book once I heard the news. The man is an inspirational legacy.

[@jakubeuro8074]

And there I was in Łódź in Poland seeing him draw live for the first time. Had 3 of his books signed and wached him sign many more. A true inspiration. RIP... :(

[@NamelessSilence]

RIP Kim Jung Gi, I was lucky enough to see him back in 2019. Got a signed sketch in my omphalos book. Also I hope that omphalos 2 is still happening :(

[@Box.circus]

Rest In Peace ✌️ Kim Jung Gi! Can’t wait to see what he cooks up in heaven 🙌

[@PositivelyVika]

As soon as I heard the news of his passing I went and bought this book The only other one I own is Omphalos and it was amazing. Thank you for this amazing review and I am excited to get it T_T still heartbroken by the news...

[@arcticships]

Same here! I just ordered this 2022 Sketch collection. My heart is also broken by these news.. He was a genius

[@PositivelyVika]

@@arcticships perfect way to put it, he really was. I hope they won't stop reprinting his books and bringing out the ones they planned to. The world needs to see his work as much as possible 🥺😞😭

[@ziksarthi]

same here, I couldn't hold myself any longer, bought this book immediately. RIP..

[@keepitrusty]

Deeply saddened loosing Kim Jung Gi. He is such an inspiration and has been for many years. I own all of his sketchbook but find it even more sad that I have just purchased what I assume will be his last sketchbook (this 2022 one). RIP, sir. I'm know you're still drawing wherever you are, and now you have a whole new perspective.

[@mean108]

So sad to loss someone just as him 😢 No one can replaced him. An amazing artist 👍👍👍🥇🥇🥇🥇

[@Chippaponi]

A week later and I still cannot comprehend that he's actually gone. I hope the world treasures this man's work cause we'll never see his like again in our lifetimes

[@MrRossT1]

Thank you for this flip through!!!

[@artbookie]

Rest in Power Kim Jung Gi. You'll always remain as an art hero to me.

[@Gboythunda]

I have this book and 4 others. These books never get old. I look thru them randomly.

[@Spiridude]

Yeah I come to look through them every now and then too!

[@mellowbeatz93]

so which book is your favourite? do you have any recommendations? I am looking forward to my first jung gi book :')

[@Gboythunda]

@@mellowbeatz93 I really like his 2016 sketchbook. Omphalos is explicit and grotsque but its awesome. Get them asap. He just passed they may be experiencing a boost in sales and hard to obtain a copy

[@ziksarthi]

​@@mellowbeatz93 I've got 2013, 2016, 2018 and just ordered 2022.. couldn't find 2007 but really all of them are just great!! words obv falls short.

[@Rutleif]

This video convinced me. I definitely need this book.

[@Gregorysbaked]

[@Spiridude]

Yeah, it is a great volume

[@darylslusher6584]

Left a true legacy RIP 😢

[@tonybatanero]

How can I see the drawing with wolf WWI soldiers with pigs on their backs?

[@bigsolidboss781]

Never thought it would be his last....

[@Victor52421]

Question sir, did they ever release a softcover version that is divided into two volumes? I can not find any information on it.

[@Spiridude]

I don't know anything about such a publication, so it is unlikely.

[@flashyflashbash9023]

Where did u buy the big pice of art on your wall ? This book looks awesome.

[@Spiridude]

I bout this with Édtions Caurette :)

[@flashyflashbash9023]

Ah this is a French site ? Do u know if they still sell it ? Can u link it to me Maby my French realy sucks😅

[@Spiridude]

@@flashyflashbash9023 I don't think they still have it, sorry :( all prints appear to be out of stock

[@tonybatanero]

How can I buy it?

[@Spiridude]

check for the links in the video's description

[@tonerisanji]

hi bro nice videos !!!!! Can you tell me where you buy this GRATE artbook :3

[@Spiridude]

on liberdistri.com or any of the links in the video's description

[@Street.Hermit]

get your boosters folks :/

[@gegi4577]

the fact they call it sketches...

[@Spiridude]

Well technically they are :D Just a lot and very detailed ones ;)

[@whereaboutsunknown3822]

Sketch isn't a derogatory word. It's just a form of art. These are indeed Kim Jung Gi's sketches but the man is so skilled even his sketches look good compared other's sketches

[@gegi4577]

@@whereaboutsunknown3822 I didn't say that they had derogatory context

[@tiamildred4518]

Not the best of Kim Jung in my opinion

[@Spiridude]

Which one do you prefer?

[@desiredbydesign6188]

Awsome video RIP KIM
