"The Art of Yumiko Kayukawa" presents a robust portfolio of Yumiko's illustration style paintings. Yumiko's monogram covers her art from the year 2001 through 2005 arranged into chapters by animal type rather than chronological; hence you will find chapter titles such as "In Cold Blood" and "Here Kitty Kitty". The structure of the book reflects her crisp elegant style while the form of the book reflects her sense of lighthearted humor. Wild Kingdom provides us with faithful Pantone Ink reproductions of her Acrylic "candy coated" colors, correct painting aspect ratios laid out on high quality paper along with both the Japanese and English versions of her titles. The cover graphics created by Justin Giarla is printed on the 10-inch by 10-inch hardcover. Shag, in his forward discusses Yumiko's many themes such as innocent and knowingly seductive as well as the source of her juxtaposition of Japanese-Traditional Culture icons and American-Pop Culture icons. Niagara, in her introduction takes us into the realm of Yumiko's shaman like connection to animals, "Yumiko is the teeny-bopper with the tarantula for a playmate." A must have for the gourmet Yumiko Kayukawa collectors, art students and patrons of Popular Contemporary Art.

Tattooed Portraits, New Paintings by Shawn Barber
A 112 page full color fine art book showcasing a select group of paintings in Shawn Barbers portraiture series on well known contemporary painters and tattoo artists. The paintings range from traditional representational portraits to colorful, expressionistic abstractions. Through his refined skills and modern expressionistic techniques Shawns paintings provide us with complex emotional responses to the subject being tattooed, tattoo designs, the tattooing artists applying the ink, along with Shawns inner vision through unique compositions and personal experience with ink in his skin. Tattooed Portraits contains portraits of well known artists such as Mike Giant, Grime, Mike Davis, Paul Booth, Helen Garber, Marcus Pacheco, Jeremy Fish, Henry Lewis, Owen Smith and Tara McPherson. The editor Justin Giarla, internationally known for The Shooting Gallery, wrote the Foreword while the world renowned tattoo artist Grime wrote the Introduction. The passionate images doubly displayed by Shawn are more than pictures of people with pictures upon them. Within we find emotion absent from the glassy-eyed queens and incidental princes we are accustomed to. They are more sincere than tradition allows. The view of the dragon on the unknown leg, the bullet, the bio-mechanical landscapes, and the human heart- are some of the intriguing images in his work. They bring to the viewer an intimacy that, at times, is possibly too revealing. - Grime

Tiki Art Two

The Second Coming of a New Art God

"Tiki Art Two" picks up where "Tiki Art Now!" left off. Otto von Stroheim in his second curated Tiki art show at The Shooting Gallery in San Francisco takes us deeper into the Tiki Art Movement. "For this exhibit, I chose a handful of artists whose work I not only enjoy but highly respect as excellent examples of the movement. Some of the artists are well known, integral figures within the Tiki movement (Bosko, Crazy Al, Tiki tOny, etc.), while some of them may not necessarily be associated with Tiki art but have been uniquely inspired to create beautiful Polynesian Pop pieces (Isabel Samaras, Ewik, Niagara, etc)." Otto invited Jeffrey Vallance, artist, writer, curator, explorer, and Visiting Assistant Professor at UCLA's School of the Arts to write the foreword. Jeffrey Vallance provides us with an authoritative historical perspective on what he calls "The Four Generations of Tiki Art." After recognizing the ancient un-named Polynesian artists Jeffrey identifies the first generation of Polynesian Pop Culture as starting in the 1920's. He then takes us through to our current time and place in the third millennium while identifying each of the four generations and their absorbed influences and their influences on threads of our cultural fabric such as music and commercial products. Tiki Art Two is a must have for Tiki-philes, contemporary art and art-book collectors, students of Art History and those throwing the urban patio Tiki party as well as the infamous Martha Stewart style Tiki Luau. "Tiki Art Two"catalogs the contents of The Shooting Gallery's Tiki Art Show held in September of 2005.
