Two years ago GreatEclectic gave me Georgia Anne Muldrow’s album Umsindo” and I was immediately blown away by the music and the album cover. The album cover was painted by a Seattle based-artist by the name of Tokio Aoyama. Today I finally took some time out to discover more of his amazing paintings. I love music and art and I love the way Aoyama infuses both into his work. Tokio Aoyama’s ability to create unique portraits and his use of dramatic vibrate colors makes him one of my favorites for sure!
