Latest Biennale News write up. I'll keep posting stuff until I can't handle it anymore. I guess! There's more coming, I'll be putting that up too when I get a chance. It's cool they quote JANM art director guy, Clement in it, and it's cool how we got on the same page first before doing any press type stuff. He called and casually asked me some questions first, then he got set and did some talking....

One of the coolest things about Little Tokyo is that they make this in the little walk through area among new and older businesses. It’s cool to see a person making it in the window.
