Master Kim is the one person who I don't even bother comparing myself to. I can only revere him from a distance.

If you mean, one can hardly do better, I'll have to disagree. It's a bit of a waste that he ended up creating not much more than sophisticated doodles. Would have been nice to have him work say on a full comic, or a series of artworks

Sure KGJ drew a lot but seeing this makes me believe that talent is real. There's people in there 20s and 30s who have probably drawn more than a 17 year old KJG but still can't draw half as good as him.

He's produced volumes and volumes of ink drawings. Since when were Gibson and Coll not considered artists? Buy his hardbound sketchbooks, and you'll see plenty of finished art there

>> No.6673643

>>6673636
>not considered artists
I never said KJG wasn't an artist. There are many nuances from being a total fan, and despising the guy.

"Doodling" was to be interpreted as: he took a pen and draw whatever came to mind. There's no structure, no attempt to express a coherent message. Gibson for instance was an illustrator: his production was then polarized by the demand, he wasn't just "doodling" in a notebook whatever he pleased (maybe he did, but that wasn't all he did).

> finished art
Again, not exactly my term, but finished doodles aren't comparable to a series of oils paintings or a few comics.

that's part of the appeal, stream of consciousness drawing on a very high level.
>There's no structure, no attempt to express a coherent message.
True, but every artist has their strength, epic sketchbooks were his. That being said, the few comics he did displayed good storytelling and it's not like his art lacked content (Korean folklore, robots & technology, his travels & experiences, and weird sex were a few of his recurring themes).

Yeah, it can be enjoyed, although it's a bit repetitive (visually), but most artists are: it's hard to keep renewing yourself.

>every artist has their strength
Eh. I can't but wish he would have put is mind to something more "involved" and thoughtful. But Ain't Gonna Happen' now.

I agree. A lot of drawing power, but most of his stuff is very random in a bad way, as in "I didn't plan any of this, I just made it up as I went and it shows".
