Having being abandoned by our in-house beauty, and very good friend Fuyu-chan,
Nigel has soldiered on and completed our awesome Branded water tower. Highly visible from the street, an excellent advert for our little gallery in the heart of ura harajuku. Makes me wonder why no one has done it before??

and on DF? ” it’s fucking awesome! , i have been wandering round the city for the last couple of days and this is exactly what i was hoping to find! and in fact i actually learnt about DF when i was walking through a park and got talking to a young Japanese guy who was hitch-hiking around Japan with his illustrations and who gave me a DF gallery flyer!”

When I just saw his pieces in purple and greens, they reminds the American old fashion style animation like Hulk or Betman. His engmatic characters might appeal to children or one who loves funky rocks.
The artist is a college student, and his major is business management. He hopes to do art in the future.

Aya is a Japanese art student who spent 17 years of her life in Germany before returning to the land of the rising sun. She is moved by photography, drawing (jellyfish) and the love her pink giraffe, Prince Giraffy, has for Peach Waffle, a young girl she used to baby sit, and the subject of some recent photography.
Her exhibition is a kaleidescope of color, shape, form and substance, mixing various media over 2 rooms. Standing more than 5 feet high, Prince Giraffy was hand made at her home over a 3-month period and was finished just in time for her exhibition at our West Gallery (W1A+B from 6/29 > 7/5).
So, if you’re in the area, please drop by and take a peek at her exhibition, as well as all the others we have gracing both our gallery spaces. Maybe, just maybe, you’ll get the itch to have your own, after all, deep down, we are all artists, aren’t we?
