Mogu Takahashi-Japanese Artist

I recently fell in love with Mogu Takahashi's blog, a wonderful Japanese artist. I love Takahashi's whimiscal work, especially when she uses materials like cookies and clothes pins to express herself. Here are few pics from her blog you should take a look. I wish I was in Japan to see one of her exhibitions, she's showing her solo show "Kawaii Ugly San" at Cafe Drole in Nakameguro. Watch her video below it's super cute!

Yoshitomo Nara show in NYC

Ok this is not in Japan but I have to take you on a side trip in NYC to an amazing Japanese artist show.

Japanese artist Yoshitomo Nara had his show at Marianne Boesky Gallery in New York ending March 28th, luckily I got a chance to see it the weekend before it closed. It was pretty amazing, I had some heavy critics with me who didn't like the artist's work, but Nara's not for everyone. The gallery was cool enough to let people take pics of the body of work so you can enjoy it here on my Flickr
