Positive words to recharge your courage for the day
Description
Book Introduction
A 365-day calendar composed of masterpieces and famous quotes from over 2,000 drawings.
This is a desk calendar that artist Kim Ik-hwan selected masterpieces from over 2,000 movie drawings he created over the past seven years and compiled them with famous lines from the movies.
The 2023 and 2024 editions sold out completely, and this edition is even more updated.
It has returned in an upgraded form with over 80 new works, 95 new famous lines, and even appropriate date arrangements.
A lovely and witty drawing that will make you smile the moment you see it.
Artist Kim Ik-hwan has been focusing on writing and drawing since a very young age, as if he was born with a pen in his hand.
Although many people call him a 'genius', he actually suffered from loneliness and pain for a long time due to his autistic developmental disorder.
However, this unique characteristic created its own world of painting.
He reconstructs objects through the unique perspective of an autistic person and quickly expresses them with his own lines and colors.
The fast-paced drawings, fresh perspectives, and witty expressions draw readers in with a 'first-time feeling.'
The moment I look at the picture, a smile spreads across my face and my heart feels warm.
“The greatest joy is that a new movie comes out every month,” he says.
Because you can find your own humorous points in a new story and draw it with your own colors.
Life quotes that fill broken hearts with courage and hope
Every time he watches a movie, he discovers a line that sticks in his mind.
For some, a simple word can be the link that reconnects them with the world.
I watch the movie over and over again, searching for that one word that gives me the courage to stand up again after my heart has been broken in the process of communicating with the world.
What he often draws are people getting back up again.
Famous sports movie scenes of people getting back up from the ground, lines from Disney or Marvel movies full of positive energy, stories of finding hope at the end of adventure.
Today, he continues to connect with the world through movies and speaks to the world through pictures and words.
Every morning, a sentence that gives me the strength to live again
Is it only autistic people?
Almost all of us experience frustration in communication and failure in relationships.
But I can't stop there, so I move forward again with a broken heart.
What you need then is a word of encouragement, a short sentence that will recharge your courage for the day.
This book contains that one word.
Through the unique filter of Kim Ik-hwan's famous lines, we gain the strength to live again every morning.

Into the book
I want to share with you the joy and good fortune that has come to me.
I had a truly wonderful time with the publication of 『Positive Words to Charge Your Courage for the Day』 and the commemorative exhibition.
In the meantime, I graduated from school, set up a small studio, and go to work every day.
I still watch movies and I still draw pictures of movies.
I was hoping to introduce to you the drawings I had been drawing, but the first edition sold out and the second printing, so I had to reprint the book.
So, while editing the revised edition, 95 famous lines from the first edition were changed, and 81 new illustrations were added.
Some even moved the date.
Even the cover has changed, so you'll get a completely different feel from the first edition.
I first started drawing for film when I was 11, and I'm still drawing now, so it's already been 8 years.
It is a great fortune and joy for me that new movies come out every year.
I hope that my feelings can be conveyed to you through these drawings and famous quotes.
thank you

Publisher's Review
The world of visual language without frills, recognized by Park Seo-bo, a master of Korean modern art.
“In Ikhwan’s paintings, lines are the most important means of expression.
That's similar to me.
There is no finesse in this guy's lines.
It is not a good thing that has sinned in the world.
So that's good."
Artist Park Seo-bo recognizes a healthy seed-like artist.
Maybe movies exist for a single message.
A word that flies and sticks in the audience’s heart… .
So, directors and actors run for that one word that will become the nourishment for their entire lives.
The message that each person opens their heart to and accepts may be different, and the emotions conveyed each time they watch a movie will also be different.
Just as we cannot step into the same river twice, we become different people every moment.
So, every time I watch a movie, I feel different emotions and the lines that touch my heart change each time.
The fun of watching it multiple times may lie right here.
Adding a special picture here makes it a completely new work.
Born with autism spectrum disorder, artist Kim Ik-hwan began reading, writing, and drawing on his own before he was two years old.
The drawings that started out as doodles began to take shape around the age of three or four, and by the time he was in the fifth grade of elementary school, he was planning an exhibition and his originality in expression was beginning to stand out.
Meeting audiences through small exhibitions and art fairs, he began talking to strangers.
After graduating from school, he worked as an illustrator and also worked as an instructor to improve awareness of disabilities at elementary schools.
Artist Kim Ik-hwan is a naive artist who has never received any art education.
The person who recognized his potential was the master of Korean modern art, Park Seo-bo.
At the young age of thirteen, he was selected as the first exhibitor at the Park Seo-bo Foundation Art Space GIZI. Artist Park Seo-bo said to him, “Just keep growing like this.
He sent his support, saying, “Even when you grow up, you can draw like this!”
It was an expression of the belief that he had the healthy seeds to become a good writer.
While preparing 『Positive Words to Charge Your Courage for the Day』, author Kim Ik-hwan personally selected his own drawings, organized famous lines and movie information, and even meticulously participated in the editing and proofreading process.
The production team also took into consideration that this process itself would be a source of growth for him.
I await readers' kind responses to my clumsy attempts at speaking to the world.
