Yoshitomo Nara



Yoshitomo Nara is an artist I see daily. I have his postcards sprinkled about my office. I think his childish subjects look a little like e and I.

You can find more of his work here:

Nara, born in 1959, is regarded as one of Japan's foremost contemporary artists, and has attained a cult status in his homeland that is hardly conceivable for European artists to reach. His signature paintings and drawings of children, often sporting grim gazes, that which recall the tradition of popular Japanese mangas, are among the most sought out items on the international art scene.
