I was really excited to see a snippet of the new Nara show at Blum and Poe in the newest Hi Fructose.

I love seeing his portraits framed like this.

Or just sketches tacked to the wall...it feels right casual or carefully presented.

The show is everything lovely about his work that you already adored, but with the magical element added of a small installation in the shape of a scallop-roofed wagon!

Inside looks like the coziest, sweetest little drawing studio imaginable. It's all too much...I love it so much it makes me want to cry.

Over at Arrested Motion, there are tons more photos and even a little video tour of the show for those of us that don't get to wander through it ourselves. Nara was one of my first favorite artists that I didn't learn about from an art book, so he'll always be about 1 1/2 inches away from my heart.
