Here’s a list of 7 questions I answered for Sassytidbits.com! Thanks much. Where are you? West Los Angeles If, starting today, you could only listen to one record/cd/digital album for six months, what would it be? Easy, it’s My Bloody Valentine – Loveless. What is your ultimate couch (burn out/hangover) day entertainment? I don’t drink at all but I’d play Modern Warfare. Although it sounds crude, it’s a great lesson in teamwork and a look into the habits and mentality of people, if you choose to play that way. You can just blast away mindlessly if you want as well. I don’t. What kind of art do you live with? Too much to show on my walls, but I have art everywhere. It’s not important that it hangs on a wall honestly; I get as much joy seeing it in a flat file drawer. It’s still art and it’s still appreciated and cared for. The rest is at Sassytidbits.com!

YUKINORI DEHARA FIGURE EXHIBITION JUNE 30 – JULY 25, 2012 RECEPTION: SATURDAY, JUNE 30, 6:30-10PM + ARTIST TALK & CLAY MODELING WORKSHOP SUNDAY, JULY 1, 3-5PM The Salaryman in Japan, is an underpaid and understated workforce who work long hours and have forged a lifestyle that is strongly responsible for the economic miracle of post World War 2 Japan. Today they wander the streets after their long day, drinking and frolicking until they head home to their family, only to face the same thing the following day. Satoshi is this person but has a friend, a beast named Morlin. We’ll be sure to feature clay sculptures and more from Yukinori Dehara. We’ve featured Japanese artist, Yukinori Dehara annually and his exhibitions range from being touching to grotesque. Yet like most artists, he has a deep ideology behind his pieces although to the casual observer, they look like fun.
