BB pal Tim Biskup attacked Tokyo earlier this month with a new show of paintings, toys, and other brilliant bits. Kirsten Anderson -- proprietor of Seattle's Roq La Rue Gallery, author of Pop Surrealism: The Rise of Underground Art, and editor-at-large of Hi-Fructose Magazine -- was there and shares this report and photos (click for larger images):
