ART Eriko Yamada is a very talented illustrator who has been working on a set of silkscreen prints based on Japanese mythology. We took a silkscreen class together and I must say she is extremely detailed and patient. Each print consists of probably 50 runs!

ART I’ve always wanted to do something like this! Guess Steve beat me to it. Pretty interesting gallery show.
Yayoi Kusama
ART The beautiful art work by Yayoi Kusama seem so youthful, fun, and charming. However, it wasn’t until I did some research about her did I find out that these polka dots didn’t come from a merry place but from hallucinations and severe obsessive thoughts.
Avant garde sculpture
ART Check out this metal sculpture of Avant Garde by artist Damien Roach. The sculpture is especially interesting at different angles.
SOEX
ART Southern Exposure is an awesome organization who reaches out to diverse audiences, and serves as a forum and resource center for Bay Area’s arts and educational communities. I just received a lovely limited edition print (designed MendeDesign and Volume Inc.) announcing their new building project. They are currently seeking donations to fund the project.
U-ram Choe
ART Artist, U-Ram Choe specializes in building fascinating machines that animate like mysterious organisms found in the deep dark ocean. Make sure you click on the videos to view these mechanic creatures in action.
Peter Saville
ART Peter Saville found these “In course of arrangement” signs at museums really interesting and has turned that into a piece of art in itself. I think it’s awesome that graphic designers are able to do work in both the design and fine arts field. It’s always interesting to see what a graphic designer can bring to the table.
Sol lewitt
ART Sol LeWitt: A Wall Drawing Retrospective comprises 105 of LeWitt’s large-scale wall drawings, spanning the artist’s career from 1969 to 2007. It’s showing at the Massachusetts Museum of Modern Art. Wish I could be there!
Herb and Dorothy
FILMS This couple is absolutely adorable. It’s amazing how with a postal clerk and librarian salary they can manage to build one of the most important contemporary arts collections in history. They truly redefined the meaning of being an art collector.
