LAST MEMORIES OF KIM JUNG GI THU 2022 

I don’t think those around me understand how much I looked up to Gi. We’re lucky to have experienced his talent and knowledge when it came to art. RIP 💜

I'm still utterly shattered over his sudden passing. I always had a habit to watch his live drawings, hear him talk so humbly despite having such great talents whenever I felt down with art. Now I'm crying so much and cannot believe that he's gone. I just want everything to be a prank and that he is still alive. Now that whenever I go on my social media, I see his drawings and just cannot stop crying. But now if he were still alive, I know he would say to young artists like me to continue drawing and keep going. I should never give up. It's so sad and tragic..

I've struggled with perfectionism and a fear of failure when it comes to drawing. But with his passing I've decided I'm not going to let failure stop me anymore. Life is too short to worry about a few bad drawings. Even Kim jung gi made mistakes and he didn't let that stop him from drawing. He's an inspiration to me and I'm going fill up a ton of sketchbooks. He truly was an inspiration. His style was absolutely amazing, his creativity, everything. RIP Kim Jung Gi.

We just lost our "Kobe". I may not have known him personally nor meet him but just seeing videos of him everywhere specially here on youtube, just gave me a gist/grasp on what kind of person he is. He's incredibly humble and unselfish. I'm also really amaze on his perspective in art and how he sees things differently. As an artist, I just wish I could've met him maybe once. RIP to the master, truly you will be missed.

I spent my entire day off yesterday mourning a man i never met. A weird first for me. It was blindsiding to hear he died. He's the first artist that ever wowed me enough to want to switch from manual labor jobs to being an artist. I'm not going to quit that goal, but this was devastating to me. Im so bummed out he died, rest in peace to the greatest

Learning Kim Jung Gi died yesterday really tore me up inside. He died so young, but managed to spend more hours drawing than many of us have been alive, and produced a mountain of unbelievably beautiful art. I'll greatly miss waking up and watching the superani livestreams, with him answering everyones questions, smiling, and cracking jokes. Art will never be the same without him. But I think now I understand what it means to wake up everyday and start drawing, even if I don't feel like it, and even if it's hard. Rest in peace Kim Jung Gi.

In the art community there many great talented artists but Mr Kim Is waaaaaay up that even mentors look up to him, his talent is unparalleled...

My hero. Forever alive in the hearts of artists around the globe. I tear up whenever i think about how ill never be able to meet him in person.

As it stands now I have no reason to lack off in my studying art anymore. The words I unconsciously uttered as I watched him draw for the first time, "I wanna draw like this man one day." That sentence is now word-bound to me. Rest in peace mentor.🙌😔

Omg I didn't even know about his passing until I saw this video. I am in shock right now. RIP Kim Jung Gi -- you were a huge inspirational force and taught so many great things to so many people.

I actually was fascinated with the fact that Kim Jung Gi could draw an entire setting with just a ink brush pen or marker.. possibly even a Sharpie and create such amazing works. The man is a living computer of art. Even the old masters would've been impressed by him, I guess he studied the old masters and implemented their viewpoints and discipline into his own. insane how much control of his lines Kim has.

Kim Jung Gi was one the best imaginative and expressive artist to date. I wish I could draw on the like that. 1/10 humans can do something like that.

I can't believe it. Dind't catch on initially, I thought people were just inking or mentioning him because of Inktober, but then it hit me. What a great artists and such an inspiration :(

His skill and dedication was the greatest thing I’ve ever seen in my short time on this earth. I’m so extremely sad that he is gone. He’s what I strived to become, even now.

im heart broken. im almost sure that the art of art died with this man. he was a master. incomparable. we lost something great with his passing. i cant say that it wasnt a core part of art itself that we have lost. i do hope others may take the mantle and bring new light to art, and may his memory be seen along the leagues of other great masters through history, as though he was the one to bring art so high in the future, though we have lost some in his passing. his inspiration will be unimaginable to all artists today and the creatives of tomorrow.

I love how you have captured a very important moment where hes thinking of how to continue the bottom half of the mans body. He seems frustrated slightly even, until his incredible brain switches on and he draws a square that he turns into a helipad instead of a leg ahahah. What artistic freedom.

Entire worlds inside this man’s heart and soul. Suzanne Valadon said art was a monster that consumed people. If that is so it is, in the hands of those truly gripped by it, a beautiful monster. Nobody has earned the right to rest more than Gi, I don’t think there is another contemporary artist who gave us so much without a shred of pretension or posturing, but with sheer, breathtaking, baffling virtuosity. The first time lapse I ever saw of Gi’s was the village killing the dragon. I guess the village always wins, but why so soon? Thank you, for all of it, beautiful monster.

KIM JUNG GI (1975-2022) : one of the Greatest Artist in the World just like VanGogh

Breaks my damn heart, he looked so full of life in his last days.. Thanks for sharing 😔

I really wished I could have met this man...another legend to add to my book

This hurts to watch, so much, I don't think I've ever felt such loss... when my family died I felt something different, it's also not the same as queen Elizabeth, this is entirely new, and I can't get over it. I don't think I will look at Kim's legacy ever the same, he was taken away from us too young, when I realised that my father is the same age, and is in prime health it became even more obvious to me. R.I.P

He's the reason I started drawing and continue to do so. He will be missed.

I will miss him till the last breath of my life. Couldn't Stop crying since 15 hours. 😭😞😞

He has left a huge legacy of drawings and recorded sessions for everyone. A true legend of art of all times. What he was able to do is something that not many artist in the world can do, if there is someone, drawing everything from his mind, and without making any sketch, in perfect perspective and full of details, this is absolutly impressive. Rest in peace master.

RIP Kim Jung Gi. The greatest artist of our generation. So saddened by your early passing.

I wasn´t expecting this, he was so young, so sad man, his craft was so out of this world I though he would live forever.

Stunned... the kind of innate, completely organic talent that only comes once in a lifetime... there was something incredibly profound in the way he grasped reality, perspective and depth, like very few ever have. There must have been a genetic advantage in his body or mind that allowed him such adept skill at visualization, perhaps something akin to how autistic children are extremely adept at certain tasks, or activities, like math, or music or a deep understanding of a specific subject matter. Because, the way he simply drew at will, and at ease, as if the lines flowed literally out of this fingers, without any hesitation.. like a waterfall that falls along the crevices and finds its way to the seas... that's how his line flowed.. unimpeded, clear, confident... finding and filling the space around just like the water fills the earth about. The most intricate figures and scenes. With pen and ink no less. No erasers needed. Keep drawing that flowing line in the afterlife Kim...

Going to miss looking forward to his sketchbook releases. I was looking forward to omphalos 2 he hinted at. I have his books on my shelves and his posters on my walls. Weird processing his death because you can't enter my room without noticing his work

This loss is so personal...I've a lump in my throat watching this video..RIP Master Kim, I'll cherish your art for life and use it for my motivation to become the best artist I can be! Thank you for sharing this video.

thank you for this last chance to see a true master at his craft

What a loss, Iam still watching his lives and show every week, I set and play and draw while listening to his videos...art community has lost its genius.

He was the best. Unbelievable talent. To create those images, in ink, in perfect perspective, in proportion and all from memory?!?! I struggle to find the words… It’s beyond impressive.

this is so sad man. You could see Kim's intense passion coming out in every one of these sessions, like these drawings were organically connected to his brain. so natural and seemingly effortless. I'm gutted, will really miss this absolute master.

That's a God given Talent you can't Teach someone to draw like Kim Jung Gi

💛🙏Thank you for the beautiful experience.

Wow, I am deeply saddened, always admired his work. I feel like we’ve lost a brilliant savant. Rest In Peace

He was and still is an inspiration to so many. Heart and thoughts go out to his family and friends. ❤ beautiful mind, beautiful person.

It is so shocking that he died so young. He will be remembered forever. RIP

I just found out about the passing of Kim Jung Gi, I am so incredibly heart broken! I discovered his work back in 2014 and quickly began to find and follow his amazing work ever since. The art world has lost a true master and a talent like no other. R.I.P Master Kim Juno Gi, Thank you for sharing your art and talents with all of us.

Can't believe this news . RIP great master. Love and respect from India .

the denial I had when I saw the post on twitter, literally felt like I knew him.. he was a massive part of my growth as an artist. Rip KJG 😔

I can’t believe he’s gone….😢 he’s is my favourite artists, I’ve watched him for years, looked at this books. I can’t imagine what his family is going through, and I’m so sorry for your loss.

RIP Masters Kim. Ask everyone to regularly check their own health.

thank you for sharing this... he was incredible, and will be missed

RIP - Amazing Artist - RIP

I would always watch his lives

I started drawing without sketching 6 years agoes I take kim jung gi as big Inspiration to keep doing it..

What a loss of oportunity to meet him. Read that he was going to be in France but didn't know that he was coming to Portugal...... I'm even more shattered now.....

This man was like a modern day Leonardo da Vinci to me. His work is one for the history books.

Huge inspiration I have spent hours watching him draw! Love his art and his outlook on art and life. Truly a legend. R.I.P. Kim Jung Gi

The prank was hilarious! A little smile in these sad days... Thank you for sharing that!

What!? I hope that his family is blessed during their grief and I hope that he knows how much he meant to people. Rest in greatness.

What an amazing artist 😍

Daaaaaaamn I was just watching his lives the other day. He was such an inspiration.

해외에 많은 분들도 같은 마음으로 애도 주셔서 너무 감사하네요. 😢 삼가 고인의 명복을 빕니다. It’s truly a big loss and so sad we can’t not see anymore of his work.. his world..

Thanks for sharing this. It’s still hard to believe that he’s gone and I painfully miss him every day.

Ohh so sad., i really admire his works.. RIP Kim Jung Gi

His drawings were (and are) wonderful ..!! Life it's not fair .. PS: thank you for sharing this, it was so beautiful.

I still can't believe he is no more .. i just can't believe....

It’s hard to quantify the gravity of talent that the world has just lost. The artist that makes some of the best artists in the world feel insecure.

It was like having an old master walking amongst the living. Rest In Peace Master Kim Jung Gi. :(

thanks for sharing

The attack and the signature got me hahahaha he was a really cool artist. By the way I love Katsuya Terada, what a couple

김정기 선생님이 외국에서 이런 대우를 받고 계셨구나 진짜 대단하고 감사하다 Rest in peace

What a Huge lost ! His legacy and inspiration ans his passion never die . Thank you maestro rest in peace 🧡

Just a few months ago I looked into him after having been suggested with videos about him constantly. Up until today I didn't look back just to find out that he died (on my birthday, Oct. 3rd). What a strange thought that he randomly died while we were laughing, eating cake and enjoying my birthday. This life is weird. Rest in peace. I hope you took your memories with you.

This is so weird. It's really taking a long time for his death to sink in. It's like half of him is still here. He's one of two major inspirations for my taking up drawing. I was just thinking literally two or three days before he died to buy one of his drawings, and then this happens.

It's sad that we go to heaven so quickly... Do geniuses have a short lifespan? tribute to the deceased.

I had no idea until I saw this video! That is so sad he died so young! Thoughts go out to his family, I know he wasn't Christian but I hope he gets to Heave, he seemed like a nice person in interveiws.

Can't believe it, but! we all will be gone one day. R.I.P KJG , condolences to his family, friends, and loved ones 😭🙏🏽

I used to watch the videos of him drawing. Heaven gained another master artist.

Will always be my favorite artist

Oh, No! Such a great loss. Probably one of his great manga work, like The Arms Peddler will be left unfinished, now.

자랑스러운 대한민국의 작가님이셨는데... 고인의 명복을 빕니다....

I will miss him :(

Still hurts! i wish i could meet him one day and tell him how much he meant to me in the other side of the world. Rest in Power Kim

Thank you for the video! Still miss him and his hilarious signing off.

This the the most personally devastating news I have ever encountered. I genuinely teared up once I found out he passed away. There will forever be a place in my heart for Kim Jung Gi. We love you Kim Jung Gi

Took me this long to articulate the way I feel about this icon. Only one thing comes to mind: as artists, we cannot hold back until tomorrow, or wait or believe we have until tomorrow to get the piece of our heart, soul, and mind into the world to lift up and inspire others to press on. We must be unafraid and simply create, in whatever medium, discipline wherever we are. The circle cannot be complete if creatives remain silent. Thank you Kim Jung Gi for your example of fearlessness.

Respect! Rest In Power KJG.

I still can’t believe it. I don’t want to. Thank you for sharing this footage with us.

It is still unbelievable...

정말 대단하십니다!!!

He has such a wonderful laugh and fun personality joking around with friends, such an inspirational artist and person. So sadly missed, rest in paradise 💖

Loved him my Master.

La primera vez que vi uno de sus videos me inspire a crear mis historias y cuando supe que murió me dio un repelús pero a pesar de que es muy triste su legado es esa inspiración que dejó junto a su arte para ser apreciado y respetado con su imagen y talento, se ha ido un artista del mundo para renacer como un legado del mundo del dibujo y eso no se cambia por cualquier cosa.

Much love. I'm one more career artist heavily inspired by this man. His passion and fearless art gave me strength to be able to express myself fully too. I will continue to find inspiration in his work and spirit. RIP

No freaking way!! This just ruined my day he was my favorite artist his ability to draw straight from ink paper with few to no mistakes, incredibly detailed pieces with the imagination I only wish i had… he was a genius with the pen and he seemed to really enjoy what he did I only wish the best for his loved ones, his fans and admirers alike will miss him as well

#kimjunggilegacy continue

A master in all the extension, increíble commit, talented and humble 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Hard to believe this guy is gone. Very sad news. RIP legend.

He drew all the time, except when eating and sleeping. the pure master.

HIs passing is a loss to the Art World. I still cant believe it. See you on the other side Master.

정말 안타깝습니다. 그가 이 세상에 없다는게 아직도 믿겨지지 않습니다.

Man this just so sad. He was such a great artist and so young too.

Rest In Power, master.

this guy was a fvcking legend. d.e.p. good sir

man this is such a great loss to the art society, we lose such talented and dedicated artist. yet among those who mourn his loss, there are people who tarnish his passing by using his art as AI feed. AI itself is a great tool, but to clout chaser it's just like NFT. a money printing machine. instant cash. truly despicable. rest in peace Master Kim Jung Gi

My condolences 😥,kim a great gift and a Master of his art

Wow!….I feel like I was just blind sided with a brick to my face😢
