Im sorry to be jacking this thread, but it's for a good cause, so I hope you wont mind..

we're approaching one year anniversary since the catastrophic earthquake in Japan (as well as Yoskay's solo show @ LBP), so I've decided to auction this beautiful Yoskay Yamamoto drawing, with 100% of the proceeds going to the Japanese Earthquake & Tsunami Relief Fund (Global Giving):



here is the eBay auction page >

This is very cool Sal... Silky should put this up at the top of the page as it is all for charity! But you should start a new thread

here is a sneak preview from Yoskay's upcoming show @ LeBasse Projects (via ArrestedMotion)

(btw, my Yoskay Yamamoto orginal drawing charity auction is ending in few hours, so please make sure you place your guilt free bids on time. thank you!)

Thanks sal for all the Yoskay preview info. more details here:



LeBasse Projects presents:

‘Joke’s On Me’
New work from Yoskay Yamamoto

March 24th – April 21st, 2012
Artist reception: Saturday, March 24th, 7-10p

Los Angeles, CA – LeBasse Projects: Chinatown is proud to announce ‘Jokes On Me,’ a solo exhibition from Los Angeles based artist Yoskay Yamamoto.

In his new body of work, Yamamoto will feature a series of sculptures based on iconic childhood characters. Three years in the making, ‘Jokes On Me’ is a conceptual project that explores current social issues through humor. Like a classic Sunday comic strip Yamamoto’s sculptures are charming and nostalgic but upon further inspection the individual works contain a darker underlying message and social commentary. This will be the artist’s first exhibition focused entirely on sculpture - in a range of mediums from plaster, resin, vinyl, clay and wood.

K.Olin tribu ( www.kolintribu.com ) will present his first collaboration with the artist: Yoskay Yamamoto

Here a double sculpture: u + i

It is a double portrait: The boy and the girl

Particularly precise work, Indeed, each head is studded methodically to bring out the details of the sculpture, but also and especially to allow a play of light of the extraordinary.

UP!!
