Need a calendar? Of course you do! Well, Seoul Selection has produced a 2007 calendar featuring beautiful pen sketches of Korean traditional architecture by the amazing Kim Yeong-taek. If you’ve got a spare lettuce leaf (10,000 won bill) laying around, you’ve got yourself a pretty cool calendar. The beautiful pen sketches are accompanied by informative English explanations. They make great gifts, so head on over to our online bookstore and buy one—or some—for the people you love. Or even for the people you don’t love.
Next week we’ll be releasing another 2007 calendar, this one focusing on the ubiquitous pig in Korean culture.

Well, I wanted to order 2 of them but since I don’t have a paypal account, I tried to use my credit card. Everything went fine until I got to the part for entering my home phone number, which it kept telling me wasn’t in the proper format.
I give up :). I’ll just take the free ones community bank on base gives out every year.
I’m sure this guy has loads of talent. But, it looks like a printout from one of those computerized portrait booths you find in shopping malls that take your picture and then trace over it with a pencil. Too much realism robs it of character.
Those drawings are insanely detailed (and I’m just looking at the grainy images on this post). I wonder how long it took Mr. Kim to do each one?
Of course, this post is the one with the smallest number of comments…. Meanwhile, KDJ’s latest rantings* get 3 dozen comments in, what, about 3 hours!
(*What has gotten into this guy lately, by the way?)
Hey Marmot,
Is it possible for Stateside people like me to purchase this calendar?
