Artist: Yoskay Yamamoto

I cannot remember now, how I discovered this artist. However I fell in love with his works from the first view. 
"Born and raised in Toba, Japan. Yoskay moved to the United States at the age of 15. A self-trained illustrator, Yamamoto's artistic tastes expanded as he fell in love with the urban culture of the West Coast. Yamamoto discovered a way to fuse the two different cultural backgrounds together into his work. Yamamoto nostalgically blends pop iconic characters from his new Western home with traditional and mythical Japanese elements, balancing his Asian hertitage with urban pop art."
