Yoskay Yamamoto
Graffiti, graffiti, all is not graffiti.
Today I am in London awaiting a yummy omelette which is being lovingly prepared for me in the kitchen. So I decided to take a few moments to write a little post for you, the loyal readers of Day in the Lyfe.com!
Japanese American artist Yoskay Yamamoto has been making quite a name for himself in the art world over the past few years. His Koibito (恋人) toy was released last year through Munky King. The characteristic fish head design takes its name from the Japanese word lover or sweetheart.
This name seems fitting for such a design. For any artist that creates does so out of love. Perhaps this is too sentimental an idea, but I strongly believe it.
This artist currently calls LA his home. Check out some more photos of his work including the Koibito figurine below. Talk soon, ok, bye bye.
These Eyes……
These eyes have seen a lot of contests but they never seen another contest like this one we’re doing for you.
And I’ll let Superbad play you out.
FACE OFF and some more of that bad news.
Today I ate two all beef franks with a side of beans for dinner. I remember there was a time when I thought that was living, but now I can barely keep it down, nitrates. Anyways, REVOK got arrested again, this time in Los Angeles, I guess the cops didn’t like seeing his face splashed all over the web with that Australian case he caught. So the arrested him at an art show. Says something about going to certain art shows, especially when some buddy of yours is paying you $1000 to be there.
Here’s the story on that bizzzzzzzness.
Jason Williams, 32, who was on probation and goes by the name REVOK, was appearing Sunday as the guest of honor at the 33rd Graffiti Art Store, said Sgt. Augie Pando of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. The store was exhibiting Montana spray paint, a brand used by taggers, Pando said.
During a later search of Williams’ home, deputies found several hundred paint cans, a police badge and a fire extinguisher, Pando said. They also found a stolen detour sign and digital photos of his graffiti work on his phone.
Sucks, at least you were smiling in the picture.
On that note, I’m watching Poltergeist. I’m not gonna lie, when I saw this when I was 6 I ran out the room.
