Park Jae Kwang

About Artist

An artist from South Korea, Park Jae Kwang builds on the language of comics to craft playful narratives blending folk motifs and visual storytelling. For THEiCON, he draws inspiration from Korean minhwa and Asian mythology, turning each image into a symbolic talisman or comic-like frame—a single panel that holds an entire tale. A Grand Prize recipient of the Korea Creative Comics Contest, Park has published in France and the US, including contributions to Batman: The World and Joker: The World. His work spans comics, live drawing, illustration, brand collaborations, and global exhibitions. Influenced by Akira Toriyama and Kim Jung Gi, Park’s art is joyful, spontaneous, and rhythmically composed. At the heart of his practice is a desire to draw freely and make others smile—simple, honest, and full of energy.
