A Tree Frog Pretending To Be A Warlord Frog



My two favourite artists are Japanese. Takashi Murakami and Hisashi Tenmyouya. The former has been showing a lot of his work around galleries in Europe and the States and it is pretty easy and affordable to get hold of some of his merchandising like badges or mini characters for people like me who cannot afford original artworks. The latter is more difficult to get by. The last time I saw something from him was in Berlin at the Berlin-Tokyo exhibition over two years ago. Since then... nothing. I did not even succeed in getting hold of his last Artbook nor the DVD from the 'artists at work' series that is also currently showing at Shibuya Rise cinema in Tokyo. Does it mean that I will have to travel all the way up there? I am seriously considering it...
