Listening to Marty Robbins .. :) Can anyone please Help ME! I met this artist in Tokyo a few years ago, and had one of the strongest reactions to his work ever.. this guy was a genuine master, and his hungry ghost paintings were so incredibly beautiful they brought tears to my eyes.. You have to realize I was in this very shishi ginza district gallery ooh and aahing and asking to buy a catalogue.. and the receptionist was like.. You meet the artist? I was like Yes.. She took me upstairs, and this small incredibly elegant older man in a leather jacket was standing around with some younger looking artist types.. all smoking of course.. very japanese, but extremely cool.. I gushed something about "hungry ghosts' beautiful monsters etc.. he smiled.. and had one of his assistants bring me a catalogue which he signed.. We spent a good hour or more looking at all the work. it was like a retrospective, the whole gallery was full of his stuff, and of course we got served tea in the gallery which I thought was nice. Anyway can anyone tell me this guy's name. I think I found it out once, but I've forgotten and I'd like to know. I may scan in some of the paintings from the catalogue if I can get his name.

King Noshikosa of Shamokotan would not see the 3 grotesque dreams of Tokyo, Oregon, and Kusatsu: K: The Hag who seared her prehensile clitoris on the folding metal griddle-altar become a portable "burden-amulet".. T: The Television show where skateboarding teenagers dressed as sushi jumped and cavorted in a fanciful skatepark where parody "unkotraps" were made from icecream the color of coffee and milk sprinkled with peanuts, swirled stylistically into turd-like forms on the floor; contestants would literally "hit the shit" and wreck in their brink pink and orange flesh colored costumes. O: A dream of a succubus-like yurei of beautiful Oyuki who turns into the monstrous bald and disfigured Oiwa. Three Monstrous Dreams= 3 Whenever there was a decision to leave, he would su???? then reserve account: Gozen sanji no gangu (Toys at 3A.M.) Bikky Sunazawa's _Aoi sakyu nite_ (In the Blue Sand Dune)
