Pigeon's Poop

For some reasons, I've been looking at Yayoi Kusama's work again recently. It's probably unnecessary to explain who she is since her collaboration with Luis Vuitton in the past that helped a little bit making her a world famous Japanese contemporary artist like Takashi Murakami. As far as I can remember, the first time I saw her work in person was at the NY Armory show in the city many years ago. I remember looking at her sculpture of this flower, just instantly felt that I love her work without a thought. Ever since, we've had some of her work exhibitions in NYC, but what I remember the most of her work is from the exhibition I went in Osaka even before these events in NYC. There were just so many of her work in Osaka city museum. Her famous "Pumpkin" sculpture. You can find this at Chichu museum in Naoshima, too. I am hoping to visit in near future. The architecture of the museum is also pretty cool too. The kids playing wi...

Pigeon Dynamite's New Ring Collection!   Yes! They are here!  I am so excited to announce Pigeon Dynamite 's new ring collection just launched!  They are all original items. As always, each of them is handcrafted by me.  All my design inspiration for the ring collection came directly from nature and the stones.  As I came from interior design and architecture background, I used to be a lot more into straight lines and definitive architectural design like Le Corbusier.

I wanted to create the jewelry that has more element of nature than machinery. The jewelry I love has to be something that you can feel the warmth ...

This is Pigeon's Poop's 60th blog post and it's a RAW Manhattan showcase event 's special report!  (ok, honestly, I've never quite figured out what exactly this event was called..but it's the same one I've been talking about..)  Since I was scouted by RAW in the end of April, everything just went like crazy fast. I must thank RAW for finding me and giving me the opportunity to be included in this amazing showcase. And I also must thank my partner, friends, and supporters who came to this event. Pigeon Dynamite could not be what it is today without you. So thank you, truly.  I cannot possibly find right words in any language I know to thank each of you enough and express how thankful I am. I am one lucky duck to have met each one of you in my life. And this event brought me some amazing encounters as well. Cliff, the artist who makes super original rad jewelry, Custom Peace ,  from Columbus was my neighbor vendor that day. S...
