I'm currently taking part in a art exhibit called Dear Japan, it's a group show with 170 talented artists. The show is taking place in NYC and aims to help raise funds for the relief effort in Japan. The artwork I have submitted originally appeared in a book lovingly made for our friend Elaine Ho's birthday, check after the jump for exhibition info and full artist list.
