Misfits

Nakanari born in Taiwan, creator of "Misfits of Nakanari" and show director of B.B.Birdy's Funny Club series, brought the idea to have artists bring their 2D artwork to 3D artwork on blank canvas toys. Nakanari created and partnered with various artists to bring their artwork to reality (2005 - Crossover Show "Gallery Nucleus/LA ad Rotofugi/Chicago", 2007 - Project Vinyl "FX Show Toy" with partners in Me Llamo Jellyfish, 2008 - Technobabble "myplasticheart/New York" with Dave Quiles). Nakanari and artist Soujohn created a new brand called Mai-Hiro. The Mai-Hiro brand focuses on strong character design and illustration. Nakanari has a distinct style, uses clean graphic lines and shapes, with a soft pastel palette framed by contrasting thick bold black lines. Nakanari prefers to showcase his artwork on canvas using the flat colors technique than to play with shadows. Nakanari’s Eastern Oriental culture is infused into his artwork. Nakanari has exhibited with other well knows artists and brand like Kidrobot, boblbe-e,The Dirtycream, KusoVinyl, CarzyLables and has exhibited in America, France, HongKong, Taiwan, Singapore and Spain. Wood is a versatile and timeless art medium used in various forms of artistic expression, from sculpture and carving to painting and mixed media. Artists appreciate wood for its natural grain, warmth, and durability, which add depth and character to their work.
