#30JSA30Days Sketch Challenge

2011-06-30T16:19:00.000-05:00

The #30JSA30Days was my first attempt at daily sketching. It was both incredibly rewarding and challenging at the same time. By trying to constraint myself to spend no more than 30 minutes on the sketch, it was an opportunity for me to really stretch myself in terms of loosening up my style and taking some chances. Although starting the challenge 5 days into the month put me in a constant catch-up mode, it was one more thing that propelled me to really go faster. Either the experience wasn't painful enough or I'm a total glutton-for-punishment as I'm taking on the #30Avengers30Days (in short #30AVGR30Days) sketch challenge starting tomorrow! Thanks for following me and encouraging me along the way, everyone!

Missing Elderly Father FOUND!

2011-04-02T04:28:00.000-05:00

UPDATE!!!! HE HAS BEEN FOUND! My father was found as of 8:00AM Sunday, April 3, 2011. He is back with the family and in good health. Much appreciation to the Harris County Sheriff's Office, LRCF, Dawn, Deputy Hughes & all volunteers. I can't thank u enough. Thank u from the bottom of my heart.

Well, it started around 6:30PM (19:00) on Thursday. My father left my brother's house (6100 block of Morning Shire Lane) for a evening stroll but got lost and could not find his way back. He has been missing since then. HE IS ON FOOT and is not driving.

Gang Bu Kim
71yrs old
Asian Male
5'3" Height
130lbs Weight
Dark Brown Eyes
Gray Hair

He left the house wearing a yellow baseball cap, black exercise jacket with yellow and white horizontal stripe in the front and white "Saipan" printed in English (script font) on the back, green pants, and white sneakers. He speaks very little English, did not have his wallet on him, and is not familiar with the roads or surroundings to be able to give directions.

If you see this man, contact Harris County Sheriff's Office Missing Persons Unit at 713-755-7427.

These are the photos of the jacket he is wearing.

Update: Since the news being featured yesterday, there was a report of him having eaten something at Whataburger at I-10 & Dairy Ashford around 10-11PM Thursday evening. There was also a report that he was seen walking west bound on I-10 along the feeder near Hwy 6 intersection.

Update: Laura Recovery Center www.LRCF.org is leading the charge, and have setup a mobile command trailer at the theater lot (Rave Motion Pictures at the intersection of Hwy 6 and Yorktown Crossing). Had a few volunteers showed up to help today. Will resume the search tomorrow BEGINNING at 9AM. VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED. Please come out and lend us a hand if you can.

Cipher Reviewed on CBR

2010-09-25T18:46:00.000-05:00

For those who visited Steve Bryant's table at this year's San Diego Comic Con, you may have noticed and picked up a Preview Edition of Cipher: The Sorcerer Pope. Come to find out that one of those that picked up a copy was Greg Burgas, the author of Comic Book Resources' (CBR) Comics Should Be Good column. In his July 26th edition of the column, he gave a brief recap of that event here, describing Cipher as:

Cipher: The Sorceror Pope Part One by Steve Bryant and JunBob Kim. Kim’s art is really keen, and only crazy people don’t like Bryant’s writing!

Following his brief recap, he kindly did a full review of the issue. It does include some spoilers so be sure to read at your own risk.

1 Book, 3 Sketches

2010-08-11T08:52:00.000-05:00

Through the generous gesture on Tim Fontaine, I was able to do 3 sketches in a row in his sketchbook.

Blue Devil

First was the Blue Devil. Tim could hardly contain his excitement when he was introducing me to the "awesome funness" that is Blue Devil. It was both fun and educating to work on my first Blue Devil ever.

Firestorm (R. Raymond)

He returned with another "old school" DC character. Not a fan of the resurrected versions of the latter years, Tim requested Ronnie Raymond as Firestorm. Not having been a comic reader during those times, this was yet another educating experience.

Captain Marvel

To my delight, he requested a character I needed no references to - Captain Marvel. My only regret in working on this piece was my choice to use gray wash on sketchbook paper, which inevitably resulted in some unwanted wrinkling.

2010-08-09T13:54:00.000-05:00

Tom & Jerry, inked on 8"X11" Bristol Board. This was a unique sketch request and a lot of fun to do. It reminded me watching the show during my childhood days when I couldn't understand a word of English.

Wonder Woman Redesign in Color

2010-07-11T21:23:00.000-05:00

After some consideration, this one (though not quite as "street" and drastically different as the current DC's change calls for) was what I like the best. 11x17 inked on bristol board. Digitally colored in Photoshop.

Wonder Woman Redesign by JunBobKim

2010-07-07T20:44:00.000-05:00

With the recent buzz over DC's icon Wonder Woman redesign by JMS & Jim Lee, I decided to try my hand at it.As with images I post, you can click on the image to see an enlarge version.

I returned to more of what I envision of Wonder Woman's build and costume. Pants and boots... my favorite so far.

With this version, I made only very subtle alterations to the original Wonder Woman costume. Still not sure anything should be changed from the original for this icon.

One of my first attempt. My attempt at capturing the essence of JMS's Wonder Woman redesign intentions. Ended up not really appearing "modern" per se,, instead more reminiscent of a go go dancer.

Ink version and maybe a color version to come...

Ursula Wilde Strikes a Pose

2010-06-24T10:03:00.000-05:00

I'm still on the loose, gritty sketching kick. Another one of Cipher protagonist Ursula Wilde (created by Athena Voltaire creator Steve Bryant). Ink on 8"x11" Bristol board and then digitally colored. Click on the images for a larger version.

2010-06-22T21:03:00.000-05:00

A quick sketch of Cipher's Ursula Wilde both in b/w & digital colors. Inked on 8.5"x11" Bristol art paper. Click to view the larger images.

Soldier in Korean War

2010-06-20T07:11:00.000-05:00

Happy Father's Day to all of you fathers! I was thinking about my father who is half way across the globe today and started drawing something that always reminds me of him. A Korean War veteran, my father would always whip up a drawing of a soldier whenever I'd pester him for a drawing as a wee-little-lad. I miss him! Inked on 8.5"x11" Bristol board.

Flash Gordon - A Tribute to Al Williamson

2010-06-17T00:05:00.000-05:00

Sadly another of comic's legend has passed away earlier this week. As many others influenced by Mr. Williamson's accomplishments, I was deeply moved to do a tribute piece. Here's my attempt at drawing Flash Gordon mimicking Al Williamson's style as best I could muster. I know it pales to his work in too many ways to mention, I finished the whole piece from pencil to ink in record time for me - 8 hrs!
Inked on 11"x17" Bristol Board.

R.I.P. - Al Williamson.

Athena Voltaire vs. Anubis' Army of Mummies

2010-06-13T04:40:00.000-05:00

First of all, if you haven't checked out Athena Voltaire, you're missing out on one of the most pulpy comic book goodness of our time. Created by my friend and collaborator, Steve Bryant, the books unveil the story of an adventure-bound aviatrix who encounters all sorts of mysteries in the veins of Indiana Jones.

When Athena was named the theme for ComicTwart contributors, an art blog made up of several fantastic industry artists, I jumped at the chance to do my own play-along version. What you may notice on my inked version of "Athena Voltaire vs. Anubis' Army of Mummies" is that Anubis' body is solid black unlike the pencils. During the inking stage, I noticed that the details of his body contour was distracting and the solid black helped frame Athena better as the focus center.

Finished piece inked solid and with a bit of ink wash on 11"x17" Bristol board.

Some sketches of characters from Cipher (a comic book previously known as Ursula Wilde).

I've decided to do some warm sketches of the characters before I begin the work on the pages.
