hello,

i'm participating in a group show, " year of the dragon" at gr2 this upcoming saturday.

i carved out a dragon ball out of basswood and gave a bit of my own twist.
also made a little zabuton cushion for new friend.

hello,

i have been meaning to post this picture for a while and i'm glad that i finally found some time to do it.

past few years i have been involved with several charity events and fund raisers where i have donated my art, toy or prints to help out the cause.
i don't mind donating my work to a good cause and i'm glad that my art could provide something positive out into the world.

and receiving this image from cardboard spaceship in my email made me so happy to know that my art was able to change the world in a small scale. this specific charity event was to help out the single mothers and children in south africa to provide them with proper food and diet.

work in progress: natural look:)

2011-06-22T10:33:00.000-07:00

hello,

lately i have been spending the most of my time painting.
so i took a little time off and spent a day carving this piece out.
wood is the newest material that i tried out and it is probably my favorite to work with.
the process is a lot more challenging than other material but i do love the natural look of the surface. there a lot more to do with this piece but so far i'm really happy how she turned out. it is difficult for me to control the expression of the face when i'm using wood as material. with this piece i feel like i was able to carved out the expression that i was searching for...

anyway here is a image

i ended up picking up couple of vintage tie clips and an old pin of blue bird.

and at the last but no the least. . .

i hope everyone had a nice weekend.

mine weekend was pretty eventful and very inspiring in many ways.

on friday i got to see my good friend colin's band children of nova at good hurt in venice.
i love watching them rock out on the stage and really enjoyed their new songs:)
they will be recording a new album this summer in portland and i get to do their album cover. \(＊ω＊)／

click here to listen their music.

then on sunday my girlfriend, emi and i went to check out art los angeles contemporary in santa monica.
it was smaller than what i expected but still fun to look all the different galleries and the art. it's always intriguing to see all the different types of work that are considered to be high-art.

suprasensorial:)

2011-01-28T03:29:00.000-08:00

hello,

today i decided to take an advantage of free admission day at moca by my loft.
i'm trying to make a habit of visiting more museums and galleries this year...

in this exhibition suprasensorial, almost all of the work in the show required the audience to inter act with the space the artists have created, and i was really intriguing to physically step into somebody's work.

here are some photos:

struttura al neon per la IX triennale di by lucio fontana

you can actually walk through this, penétrable bbl bleu by jesús rafael soto

this was my favorite, cromosaturación by carlos cruz-Diez

2011-01-26T16:02:00.000-08:00

hello,

i know it's bit late but happy new year.
\(＊ω＊)／

last week end i had a chance to visit la art show at los angeles convention center.
it was bit overwhelming to see all the work but very inspirational over all.

here are some photos from the show:

old school nara-san

very large aron wiesenfeld's new painting.

bad picture but really epic yoshitaka amano-san's work.

my buddy sharktoof at work. the piece is 12' x 12'

and one of my favorite piece in the show. andrew hem's painting.
i can't believe he free styled on this....

hello,

i hope everyone is enjoying change of the seasons and staying warm.

i was invited by munky king to participate in their group show, "the omi show."
omi is munky king's first platform toy and the project was inspired by chinese opera mask and japanese nou theater mask. i had a chance to create a design for their first series which is coming out soon.

for the omi show, i carved two wooden omi mask. it was a a lot of fun to add my own twist to the omi's simple but a unique shape.

anyways here are the images of my contribution:

after our show at roq la rue gallery in seattle i took sometime off to spend few days in one of my favorite city on the west coast, portland. i fell in love with the city the first time i had a chance to visit. the moodiness of the weather and accessibility of the city reminded me of san francisco in many ways.
plus the cleanness and the charm of the city which is accented by their amazing local food and beers...
portland is truly magical in many ways....

i'm glad i got to visit such a beautiful city once again.

i hope you will enjoy some of these pictures;

lyrik cafe always welcomes me with open arms with their delicious sandwiches:)

lyrik cafe owner/founder, keiko is preparing me some nice cozy coffee drink:)

work in progress

2010-08-06T01:04:00.000-07:00

it has been about a month since, i started to paint on a paper. i wanted to try something new and exciting to keep myself interested in my own work. i get bored easily and i found it was a perfect time to switch the tempo and also to learn something new from it. i have done couple paintings on a paper before but i wasn't very happy with the result. this time i'm trying to keep the soft quality of the paper and learn to paint more sensitively than i usually do. the beginning was a bit difficult to get hang of everything, but like everything else, im slowly learning by just trying different approach, and making mistakes.

here is a detail shot of one of the piece;

im planing to have around 6 new paintings for a two person show next month.
i will be showcasing my work with my friend, edwin ushiro at roq la roo gallery in seattle.

i will post more detail as the date reaches.

thanks for stopping by and i hope all of you are having a pleasant summer.

tell me a story: a new installation:)

2010-02-15T03:48:00.000-08:00

my favorite gallery, lebasse projects is showcasing a solo exhibition by yoshitaka amano next saturday, and they invited me to have an installation in their project room.
i am very excited to be exhibiting in a same space with a such a legendary artist like mr amano.
if you are not familiar with his work he was the one who is responsible for the character design of such animation as gatchman, speed racer, vampire hunter d and also the video game, final fantasy series.

this installation will be a continuation on the installation from my last solo exhibition, "hello and goodbye." this will be very site specific and also will be the largest installation from myself.

here are some progress pictures:

primed and ready to be painted:)

thanks to my good friend mari for helping me set up my new air brush:)

this is a separate project but it will be displayed at the show.

for more info about the show please visit lebasse projects web site.

my favorite canadian artists:)

2010-02-01T23:28:00.000-08:00

my friend tessar lo and nimit malavia are having a solo show at show & tell gallery in toronto canada this friday.

i had a chance to share a studio space with tessar for about a year and it's been a pleasure to see his work evolve significantly in such a short period of time. i really love how he is focusing on the mood of the paintings rather than the details.

i also had chance to share the same studio with nimit during summer 08 and i am amazed of his growth in skill and details.
they are both truly talented artists, please stop by to see the show if you are near tronto.

here are some images of their works:

tessar lo, "friendship"

tessar lo, "a perfect magic"

nimit malavia, "till i can't anymore"

one of my favorite author j.d. salinger passed away this week.....
catcher in the rye was my very first english novel that i read and i remember the sense of the accomplishment that i got afterwards.
so the book has a sentimental attachment to me and i still cherish it very much.

arigato:)

2010-01-27T02:02:00.000-08:00

i've been meaning to post about this amazing show but got caught up with so called laziness.....

anyway, my friend andrew hem's latest solo show "one leads another" is truly an amazing exhibition of his new work.
i have always been a big fan of his work, i always enjoyed his heart warming colour schemes and playfulness of his characters.
for this show i was very found of the intimacy between his character and their environments.

i know this would not do justice to his original work but here are some images from the show:

my favorite piece from the show, make the best of things

best find a new way

the show will be up until february 13th, please stop by and see if you are in la.
