Yayoi Kusama in Venü Magazine

While I’ve seen a lot of my work online – graphic design, photography, and writing – there is nothing quite so satisfying as holding something you created in your hands. Some of my favorite days are those when the new issue of Venü Magazine arrives in my mailbox. There’s that satin soft cover, a beautiful interior layout, and the articles are always compelling. In its entirety, the magazine is high-end and luxurious.

This issue of Venü showcases my cover story on artist Yayoi Kusama. Many know her as the “Princess of Polka Dots” but I find that title to be demeaning. If you knew about her past, her work, her extraordinary living conditions and the breathe of her career, you’d understand that Kusama is more than polka dots and fans taking selfies in her installations. In this issue of Venü you can get a taste for Kusama’s art and life. Photography is courtesy of the Yayoi Kusama Museum in Japan and there is also a special message from Kusama to humanity.
