STEELHEAD COFFEE

by Andrew Hem, Edwin Ushiro, and Yoskay Yamamoto

Raised as the child of Cambodian immigrants in Los Angeles, Pow!Wow! says Andrew Hem’s work “bridges disparate aesthetic influences as well as cultural touchstones and sensibilities.” Between his slightly off color palettes and his typical focus on some individual staring back at the viewer, Hem’s paintings have a eerie ability to draw viewers into his other-worldly scenes. For this Pow!Wow! Long Beach 2016 work Hem collaborated with Edwin Ushiro, a Maui born and Art Center trained designer and artist, and Yoskay Yamamoto, a self-taught illustrator from Japan who moved to the U.S. as a teen and fell in love with the West coast. The painting is at E. Wardlaw Rd. and Orange Ave. in the California Heights neighborhood of Long Beach, on the side of Steelhead Coffee.  @andrewhem  @edwinushiro  @yoskayyamamoto  @powwowlongbeach  @steelheadcoffee

"We Bud, Bloom, Shrivel - #12"

Mixed Media on Plexiglass

14.75" x 10" 

"The Mo'o is a supernatural lizard from Hawaiian mythology. They have the ability to change into a human form to seduced men. Some Hawaiians consider the Mo'o as their Amakua or spirit guardian and would mark their fishponds to pay homage, pleasing the spirit to ensure a bountiful supply of food. In death, a Mo'o returns to the land and continues as part of nature, overlooking their territory. A wish that what we do in life can also continue in death. For those of you who are also in town for #sdcc or looking to enjoy your weekend, I suggest visiting my solo exhibition, Graduation at GR2 Gallery. The gallery is open today and during the weekend. @giantrobot @giantrobotstore @giantrobotmedia Swing by!"

"HOW TO FOLLOW A RAINCOAT OF SUNSHINE", Edwin Ushiro

The Artwork: A portrait of my friend, Michael. The Process: This painting was created with digital and traditional techniques. First I begin with traditional graphite and ink drawings with backgrounds completed in watercolor and acrylic washes. I then imported into Photoshop where the final image is printed onto acetate. Thin amounts of acrylic paint are applied to the front and back of the acetate and figures are sealed with an opaque coat of white paint. In the final stage, the acetate is mounted to Plexiglas or Lucite.
