I understand that there are other artists, aside from Usugrow, from this show---did the book contained mostly Usugrow art? That's what she, wait... You are correct. The show was curated by Usugrow Feat / USUGROW, MOZYSKEY, TOSHIKAZU NOZAKA, BENE, JUN KANEKO. The book was evenly split featuring each artist and their works. I'd highly recommend picking up a copy if you can.

 Re: Usugrow Shinganist Group show in May
Wait so it was a print, I knew 300 would be cheap for original artwork. Is there any word on how large the print edition is ?
All in all 300 for a print is a bit steep, but depending on the run it may make more sense esp. with it being framed.

 Re: Usugrow Shinganist Group show in May
I read the description but just to clarify...Is this book similar to the other Usugrow. i.e tons of amazing images and no written text?

 Re: Usugrow Shinganist Group show in May
the show was really cool. i got to see it today when there was almost no one in the gallery. lucky day cause i got the book and got it signed by Usugrow. kinda bummed cause the other artists were not around   yeah...he hates Kirkland. Hahaha..I'm just kidding. I didn't ask him about Kirkland.
