I saw this awesome image (actually an ad for laundry softener?) over at swissmiss and it reminded me of another image I had seen recently but for all the world couldn’t recall where. Then it came to me. It was a piece by Japanese artist pyuupiru, that I had seen in the group exhibition IDENTITY IV over at Nichido Contemporary Art.

I totally think pyuupiru and MIR should collaborate.

Every country seems to have their doodlers. The U.K. has Andre Jordan and David Shrigley, the U.S. has Jay Batlle, and Japan has Izumi Shiokawa. (I’m sure other countries have their own, I just haven’t discovered them yet.)
Shiokawa has been featured in a lot of magazines lately and just completed a show over at IDEE Jiyugaoka.
