Have a good weekend everyone! Stay tuned for a *PMH giveaway next week!!

In the mean time enjoy this crazy Paki Disco……..
Where you at Uncle G?!
About a month ago, my girly, Kenia, showed me some illustrations by one Junko Mizuno and I was hooooooked. Her work is a mix of macabre and sexy, with and a fat dose of “cho chweet!” Luckily, she was in Tr0nto a few weeks later for her first Canadian solo show at the Narwhal Art Projects. We were there to squeal over her mind-boggling awesomeness:
If only my pockets ran deep, I would’ve jumped on this one:
Sahar and Kenia kept their Asiapose game strong:
I was about to make a run for it with this wicked piece of magic:
The ever-so-adorable Junko was there signing autographs:
She even signed a leg tattooed with one of her drawings:
Apparently, as soon as the signature was complete, the tattooed chick ran down to the nearest parlour to get that shit made permanent. Dedication, y’all! It’s a good thing that Junko’s signature is mad complex and completely unique. Check it out on this little toy I bought of a character from her Pure Trance manga:
We had amassed quite a collection by the end of the show:
Here’s a good interview with Junko where she talks about her inspiration for the pieces in this exhibit (Anne of Green Gables!)
On a tangent…Narwhal had an original of my favourite Gary Taxali print on display in the back room:
Woah, sailor. I’m in love!!!!

Hello *PMH readers!!
The past six months have been bonkers — from the gallery show in Deutschland, the new silkscreen prints, Ghee Happy in Houston to the insane party up in Toronto…….and hanging with SRK in between.
The *PMH family has grown as well in the past six months . You guys were introduced to the two newest members when I posted about the party in Toronto. They are going to be joining me on the *PMH, blog adding some fresh new shit to the mix starting now! I’m really excited to bring these two Canucks on board the *PMH jet.
Buckle up everyone!
Introducing…….. Currylingus and Ungle G!
