Yoskay Yamamoto put on a beautiful solo show at LeBasse Projects. I picked up my friend and aritst, Rachel, and we drove out to Culver City at 8pm. There were installations in metal and wood...
a signature Koibito painting, which I instantly fell in love with...
amazing textures and vibrant colors...
with a backdrop of 100 yoskayfied astro boy heads bolted to the wall called "Do You Remember Me?"
humble and awesome artist that he is, Yoskay did a sketch for me too!

doktor a's odorous fish man...

in May this year, i bought yoskay yamamoto's koibito...

Doktor A remixes toys and look what he did to koibito! doktor a has renamed the character the odorous fish man and even created a story for him too...
"Obadiah Marsh was a tailor by trade who found he had an affinity with the sea. His small personal fortune was spent on many small alterations which over time helped him move with greater ease though the oceans of the world. His new styling and tedious obsession however made him unpopular at dinner parties and he soon found himself without friends. He found new friends at the Freak Show and decided to join their ranks. "
check out the other toys/characters in the Freak Mechanique show at Lift gallery Nov. 14-Dec. 09 on Toys R Evil.
