Take a deep breath and prepare to forget everything you know, the future is here and it’s name is Andy Milonakis.

Check this guy ouy. Subscribe to his channel and listen to his Ed Hardy Rap. And here i was, totally convinced by the wakness of cool kids and all those faggy little hip-hop parties which use lightning bolts and dollar signs in their promo, that Rap was dead.

For me Kami and Sasu represent the heart of Tokyo’s street art scene, the originators from where the cities scene draws its inspiration, its love of geometry based design and its understanding of composition and interacting with the environment. Here is an excerpt from their website. www.hitotzuki.com

“HITOTZUKI’s art work are collaboration of KAMI and SASU.They met and began working together in 1999.Kami creates strong wavy lines, and Sasu paints colorful geometrical patterns. They also work individually as well. In 2000, they participated in Barnstomers project and started working on murals. Since the beginning of their collaboration they have named their work as “HITOTZUKI”. They have been working both internationally and in Japan. Together they live in Tokyo and have a one year old son. They continue to travel around creating huge size murals.

The name “HITOTZUKI”, stands for the sun and the moon, contrary to one another, like a plus sign and the minus sign, female and male, they differ yet still fuse together to make a whole. Their work is done dynamically and with freehand. Kami and Sasu, work depicts scenery from their lifestyle and feelings from their daily life while at the same time expressing hope for the future. They work as a family creating an ideal image of both their lifestyle and their future as “HITOTZUKI”.”

Hitozuki has also released a new T-shirt design which has just gone up on their online store.
