   This is an all new batch of over 50 basketball art creations by 14 incredible international artists, along with a review of the most intriguing events in the association this year. The surprisingly dramatic, injury-filled 2017-18 NBA season & Conscious Basketball's second annual tribute to the Golden State Warriors "Dubz Against the World 2" inspired me to assemble this collection. Enjoy!

Reframing the Geisha
Art Collection (28 Images)

   The Geisha is one of the most well known & pervasive symbols not only of Japan, but of all the "Orient". Gisaeng (기생) in Korea, concubines in China; throughout Asia there are comparable equivalents. 

   I have curated 30 works of art, from 12 artists (3 non-Asian men, 3 Asian men & 6 Asian women) portraying or influenced by geisha, to explore the remixing & reframing of this ancient symbol.
