Yoskay Yamamoto is a self-trained illustrator born and raised in Toba, Japan who moved to the United States at the age of 15. Yamamoto’s distinct style is based on a combination of two different cultural backgrounds including nostalgically blending pop-iconic characters from his new western home with traditional and mythical Japanese elements from his Asian heritage. Yamamoto’s urban pop art is a perfect fit for women who want to surf the mountain on Arbor’s Push.

Sylvia Ji was born in 1982, and raised in San Francisco, California, where she received her BFA at the Academy of Art University. After graduation, she relocated to Los Angeles where she currently resides. Ji’s work encapsulates an alluring beauty that is cutting-edge and a nod to time-honored technique. Her paintings are symbolic reflections of herself, portraits of people she knows or nameless faces set in a landscape of fleeting and decaying beauty. Sylvia Ji released the piece that graces the top of the women’s Cadence in her 2008 collection titled Por Vida.

His medium is layered cut vinyl and spray-painted images and each piece typically is based in a political statement.
