Hara Museum is Shinagawa is a pretty cool spot. It's a small museum that has changing exhibitions, but also has a permanent room by Yoshitomo Nara. I couldn't take a photo of it. I think it was the only room that had a videocamera watching. The above image was in a room by some french artist. Yeah, it's like a bathroom or something, but it's also like TRON!

Hara Museum is Shinagawa is a pretty cool spot. It’s a small museum that has changing exhibitions, but also has a permanent room by Yoshitomo Nara. I couldn’t take a photo of it. I think it was the only room that had a videocamera watching. The above image was in a room by some french artist. Yeah, it’s like a bathroom or something, but it’s also like TRON! Akihabara – retro game hunting. There’s a reason for it. Junk at Akihabara. Japanese junk looks cool. You really don’t know what you’re going to get. That’s the sculpture Garden at Hara Museum. Next to Kohei’s face is a vertical piece of metal which is an Isamu Noguchi piece. Tai Yaki and they don’t even cut out the extra parts Too many toy figures. They’re everywhere. retro games at Super Potato. You’d think this spot is the best, and it’s quite great, but in the end, it’s the most expensive too. Ice cream in a baguette, yes it totally works. That’s Taro Goto on the right. He used to be part of the SF Asian Film Festival. He led us to an Okinawan spot in Shibuya. Super great. Sadatoshi shows off ice cream.

I've held back on my photos of this studio, but it's gigantic. It's brand new so there's no furniture just yet. But this is the first official photos I've seen released, it just came as a PR and it's for the Choe show in Beverly Hills (he went to High School there) that's coming up next week! I'll be back in town for it. Take a look at the new Juxtapoz magazine. It's all about David and edited by...
I’ve held back on my photos of this studio, but it’s gigantic. It’s brand new so there’s no furniture just yet. But this is the first official photos I’ve seen released, it just came as a PR and it’s for the Choe show in Beverly Hills (he went to High School there) that’s coming up next week! I’ll be back in town for it. Take a look at the new Juxtapoz magazine. It’s all about David and edited by him too! DAVID CHOE – NOTHING TO DECLARE April 23rd – May 23rd 2010 Artist StatementI am a typical artist, so I’m definitely my own worst enemy, my irritable bowel syndrome being a close second, I self destruct constantly, I suicide bomb my own shit weekly, and destroy everything that is good and pure in my life. I love and hate la. I was born and raised here, this is the city where I first fought, fucked , farted, and rioted . I fucking love the shit out of this city and I hate it with all my heart. This is the city that never gave me an art show so I had to exhibit at an ice cream parlor. I want to burn this city to the ground. This is the city that came out in hundreds to see my movie premiere and made my parents proud. I want to face fuck this city. Either way It’s been way too longlos angeles, and I’m sorry I had to leave in the first place, but you were really annoying the shit out of me, but I forgive you , I’m sorry I left you when you needed me most, ive seen these horrible atrocious art shows you’ve been subject to, I seen these wacked out gimmicky douchey group shows and art walks you been sexually and mentally harassed by , and I’m here to tell you,I’m coming soon, and maybe you’ll appreciate me and not take me for granted this time . lets make the dysfunction work for us, ok ? I promise to try harder if you try harder. It’s been 6 long years since my last show here when you fucked me and I left you. in that time I seen things, I’ve heard things, I’ve felt things I’ve never felt before, I been hitchikng all over the globe , I been to Japanese jails, African jungles, Chinese torture chambers, the whitehouse, and to all 7 levels of hell and Back . In april 2010 I will have my first solo art show in BEVERLY HILLS CALIFORNIA with Lazarides .I will take all my love all my hate all my pain all my rage, all my suffering and all my skills and experience i’ve collected over the years everything I’ve learned in every medium from watercolors to oils to spraypaint I’m gonna express everything I feel about this city and what it is to live and die and be born again in the city of angels…. los angeles I’m...

Visiting Albert Reyes always leads to cool things. 1) The art in his house is amazing. We've featured that in the magazine before and his studio room of art keeps changing. Original art he got from trades include Matt Furie, Date Farmers, and plenty of others I don't know so well. 2) His brother is Pimplywimp Ryan Reyes. Hilarious videos. He's in his own Youtube videos but he's also in movies....
