Over the past couple years, every time we have stopped by Yoskay Yamamoto’s (interviewed) for a visit (here, here and here), we saw evidence of some pretty sweet customs he had been working on when he had extra time. Taking classic toys and figures and remixing them with wood, clay, and paint, the new pieces were changed to have classic Yamamoto features. It now looks like these will all be revealed to the public at the LeBasse Projects in Chinatown in a showing entitled Jokes On Me…We’ll have more for you before the show opens on March 24th.

1 PM - Eames: The Architect and the Painter
“Sprightly…Between the wide array of interviewees and surplus of colorful archival materials, the deftly assembled pic has nary a dull moment.” Variety
