Yoshitomo Nara

So I know art would not be considered a nessicity by most standards but sometimes I can't help myself. I was walking down Elizabeth Street today back from the Vic Market when I passed Outre Gallery. They had lots of cool tattoo/rockabilly infulenced art that I enjoy. They were selling little framed prints by Yoshitomo Nara. There was one of a little frowning girl holding a paint brush. I wanted it....so I bought it. YAY!!! I went to a Nara show at the MCA in Chicago in 2000 and loved it. That was the only show I saw at the MCA besides Cindy Sherman that I liked.

I saw this work Nara did for an album cover for Shonen Knife. I haven't listened to Shonen Knife since college. Yay for banana chips!!
