Tokyo burning

Sobata from OriginalFake shop can explain this top photo. If you happen see on the street just ask him.
I went to see the Tadanori Yokoo Be Adventurous! exhibition at Setagaya Art Museum with Katayama from Wonderwall.
It was a really amazing show including many original drawings from the '60's and '70's. There's also an excellent catalogue that was published for the exhibition. Ends 6/15/08, so try to see it, it's definitely worth the trip!
We also went to Takashi Murakami's "Geisai Museum #2"
Katayama, Murakami, me, Oka (Medicom Toy)
The show was packed with a lot of young talent. I was happy to meet this artist and picked up two Rolex watches.
Makes my other watches look boring.
I arrived in Tokyo yesterday.

Nobody told me it was warm here!
It has been a while.

Hope you're all well, and thank you to everyone who stopped by the OriginalFake exhibition or the store yesterday for our second anniversary.
I have been working a lot and am kinda all over the place lately as this post will probably be..
Here are some OF Anniversary tees:
Hysteric Glamour X Warhol Foundation X OriginalFake
UNDERCOVER (this first one is a follow up to a graphic I did with Jonio eight years ago)
SUPREME (It was fun to remake their classic Kate Moss tee)
Last time I was in Tokyo I received this great incense holder from the guys at SMOKE & MIRRORS
Dumbo incense has been getting a lot of use in the studio lately.
Took a trip out to LA for some meetings and got to see the Glow in the Dark tour. Incredible performances from beginning to end. Try to see it if you can!
NIGO opened his LA shop the following night. The store looks amazing and the palm trees out front fit perfect.
Satoko kept the opening party in order!
Got to spend a bit of time with Darren Romanelli. He totally hooked me up and even introduced me to his secret eye doctor. Thanks Darren!
I stayed at this new hotel called PALIHOUSE. Next time you're planning to spend some time in LA and want to stay at a place with great friendly service; I can't say enough good things about this place but book early because rooms go fast.
These are from the GF...um..
Should I be worried?
