Choco Moo Solo Opening Night @ Toy Art Gallery

WHAT: 'On Saturday, May 11th, Japanese artist Choco Moo was welcomed by fans to Los Angeles for her first United States showing at Toy Art Gallery's project room. This one-night only special event coincided with Mark Ryden's YHWH Custom Group Show in the main gallery. Choco Moo exhibited over 30 new drawings and decorated the space with a hand drawn black and white installation featuring all her favorite characters. Artworks are currently available online (via) Toy Art Gallery until May 16th, 2013. Video by JDVVC.'

I am suitably impressed with the "live" art drawing. Swell art, and kawaii artist, what's not to like? Presented by Sweet Streets, check out still images of event launch day via their dedicated Facebook album!
