Not very often, but once in awhile, I will come across an artwork that makes me go gaga. This week it happened twice, with work that is not dissimilar from each other.

First, I came across Kiron Khosla's work. I am not giving you a picture, YOU JUST HAVE TO GO and see it for yourself. I am going to try to attend the artist's lecture tonight, October 5, at 7:30 at Gibsone Jessop Gallery, Distillery District, Bldg.4 - 55 Mill Street. The opening reception for the Hubris is Terminal show is this Saturday, October 7, 2-6 and runs Mon-Sun 11-6, until the 19th.

What's not to like about kitty-cat samurai's in Edo period kimonos? Moira Hahn, whose work is shown above, references ukiyo-e prints for Flight Club: Solo Show with Moira Hahn, and opens tonight from 6-10 pm at the Magic Pony, 694 Queen St. W. Closes November 5.

That is definitely quite the stunning image you've got there. I'll definitely try to stop by the Magic Pony some time in the next few weeks.

seriously, dude,

you need to also check out Kiron Khosla's work at the Gibsone Jessop Gallery. I think I almost like his work more.

Nice, but do you know where I can see a good collection of real ukiyo-e prints in this city?

This would be right up my alley, love the colours and twist on tradition. I just started collecting ukiyo-e, bought my first Hokusai in New York. There is a shop here in Yorkville that sells them but the current selection isn't what I look for. The ROM has some prints on view of the floating world by Hokusai and others in the Prince Takamado Gallery of Japan.
