A few years ago I decided I wanted to buy one of his limited prints with some extra money I was to earn. Then I pushed it off for a bit due to a few poor excuses, and eventually forgot about it.

And now his prints are of course ... out of print.

I'm not saying I need a numbered and signed limited print like The Tigers New Clothes [1] but it would be nice with maybe just a regularly, unsigned, unnumbered poster on my wall.

Are there any for sale?

Is it confirmed? I just recommended him to a friend yesterday. I can't believe it.

Yes his personal account posted the news in both English and Korean. His friends and the art community have been mourning and cancelling their combined appearances at light box (understandably)

This is really sad, I used to see his drawings all the time on my Instagram and it was so sudden. He got me into drawing and really thinking about understanding perspective; I'm not good at drawing but man did it help my photography. Absolute loss. I don't know if it was a heart attack or maybe a pulmonary embolism... he had covid before and I think the long flights might have been taking a toll.

Stop with the conspiracy nonsense already. You are not the holder of "tHiNgS THEY DoN't WaNT U tO KnOW!!1~", as much as you'd like that to be the case.

Insurance would probably pay them out nicely - your death at work is probably worth +1x your annual salary - maybe more.

> Insurance would probably pay them out nicely

I wouldn't have bet any money on that. The dude was unwilling to pay £1100 for a life saving device what makes you think he would buy insurance that would pay upon employee death.

I know for a fact I didn't have any of that cover as my current company does pay death in service and it's like 4 times my yearly salary to my wife. So if he had anything like that he would have said so.

He's was just a cheap fuck. Companies often cheap out of safety gear to make a quick buck happens everywhere all the time.

You won't find answers in a single case, which is why the question is irrelevant to this post.

You can actually, e.g.: https://www.mdpi.com/2076-393X/10/10/1651

It's not a conspiracy theory, it's in the data quite clearly now.

I googled it (plenty of results...) and this was the basic analysis I found: "The study of teenagers in Thailand following a second COVID-19 vaccination found that 18% -- not one third -- experienced any detectable cardiac effect, and that 1 in 301, not 1 in 43, had confirmed myocarditis. A large proportion of purported abnormalities detected by testing were without symptoms, and 100% of the teens in the study fully…

This Reuters article is disingenuous at best. They're downplaying the harm by changing the context. Re: "found that 18% -- not one third -- experienced any detectable cardiac effect" This research found 1:43 harm - because that harm included detection of damage to the heart via blood: "Troponin blood test - troponin is a protein which is released into the blood stream when the heart muscle is damaged. The troponin le…

I guess that would be a big concern if 301 wasn't literally the number of participants in the study. What kind of confidence interval can you extrapolate from that?

And elevated troponin is not definitive of permanent heart damage.

In the context of Kim Jung Gi's death, studies suggest an excess of https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-022-31401-5/figures/3

I suspect this is considerably less of a risk to that age bracket than COVID.
