 Sneak Peek - Justice N Mercy: The Concept Art Of Min-Woo Hyung
Written by Jason Brice
Q: You are sometimes considered a cult artist and an artist with a distinctive personal style. What do you think about these labels? And is there a vision to your work that you can share with us?
A: I've heard that my work has a cult following, but I've never been able to give a satisfactory answer as to why. All I can say now is that I don't know why. It is nice to hear that I'm an artist with a distinctive personal style, no matter what the reason for that may be. My vision depends a lot on external factors-it changes according to what I happen to find interesting at the moment. External factors may include movies, paintings, characters, action figures, and books.
Q: What do you focus on most in your work?
A: The basic theme that runs through my work is masculinity, power, and strength.
Q: Have you ever thought about what kind of impact the comics genre might have on popular culture?
A: To be honest, no. I don't know enough about each to have opinions on their relationship.
Q: Who would you describe as a "good artist"?
A: I'll be as honest as I can-I think I'm a good artist.

Q: Where do you get the inspiration for your work?
A: Mostly from movies, comics, novels and art books, but there are a hundred other images as well that suddenly come upon me during the course of the day, giving me ideas about different characters. They're too many to mention.
