We're huge Nara fans. The perfect combination of cute and sinister, innocent and evil in his paintings and sculptures is truly remarkable and has made him a rockstar artist both here in the US and in his native Japan. One of our prized possessions is a sketch he drew for us of a little evil girl popping out of a cardboard box...it's the best! Just as precious is his beautiful, darling, and totally un-sinister children's book about a puppy (cute) and a little girl (super cute). From the publsihers: In his first book for children, renowned artist Yoshitomo Nara tells the charming story of a puppy so large that no one notices him—until a determined little girl climbs high enough to meet him and become his friend. A sweet tale from an artist for whom childhood holds a magical appeal, The Lonesome Puppy is sure to delight young readers and Nara fans of all ages. Measures 9.25" x 9.25" |
