This blog post is under video surveillance

I came across this car on the streets of LA the other day. It's a pretty junky car that I might not have paid attention to, but I noticed a sign in the window. I went up to check it out.


The sign said

"This car is equipped with a hidden camera, anyone tampering with this car will be prosecuted."

There were a lot of empty boxes and junk in the car. I think the real reason for the sign is that the car is lonesome and neglected, so this sign is a way to get people's attention and get them to come up and look at the car.

He probably hasn't been touched in a long time. It's kind of sad. I've been going out to the car everyday recently. I've been performing little plays and puppet shows and hoping that they will be captured on the hidden camera.

I'm hoping someday the car will upload these videos to YouTube.

Ken Tanaka is Beautiful

Miwa Yokoyama is known in Hokkaido and all over Japan as being famous for Street Make. She does make up for people on the street. During her tour of the US she stopped at Royal-T maid cafe in Los Angeles, and I finally got a chance to be beautiful.

And last week, I posted this video of Remi and I at Comic Con, featuring some of the best and cutest Cosplay costumes that we saw at the con.



I had a great time at the con, and afterwards, Fangoria magazine did a review of my book Everybody Dies- A Children's Book for Grown Ups. You can check the book out at the website Http://www.everybodydiesbook.com

See me at comic con July 20-24th with Keith Knight

For the first time ever I i will be exhibiting at Comic Con. I will be sharing a small part of Cartoonist Keith Knights booth and selling my book Everybody Dies- A Children's Book for Grown Ups. Keith draws the K Chronicles, Th(ink) and the Knight Life which are cartoons syndicated in US papers. They are very funny.

Our booth is number k-15 in the small press section next to bob the angry flower.

Ken Tanaka is a Cowboy

This song is part of the Jam session that Polo and I did on June 23rd 2010.... This is the last song that I will upload from that session. We improvised and ended up with about 8 songs in 2 hours that I put on YouTube. We re-recorded this one on my nice new Canon REbel T2i 550d camera, so this isn't actually the recording from 2010. The cowboy footage is all shot on a flip cam.

These are all the songs we've uploaded from that jam session

Party Animals at Royal-T starts July 7th.

Royal-T maid cafe and art space in LA has a new show opening up the 7th of July, 2011 curated by artist Lindsay Scoggins and featuring works from the Susan Hancock collection. I just found out that one of my paintings in her collection was selected from the show. Lindsay is a video artists and makes handsome videos like this one.






Royal-T is one of my favorite places to visit in LA. Here are some videos of made there in the past.
