Images of creatures and pin up girls posing provocatively with the illest luchador masks… Some say these characteristics define Japanese artist Rockin’ Jelly Bean. But as the man points out there's much more behind his work which has included familiar brands such as Hysteric Glamour, BBC, A Bathing Ape, and The Rolling Stones amongst others. The visual artist offers insights into his past, how the mask came about and ultimately how the industry has changed and the juxtaposition between Japanese and American views on eroticism.
The following interview took place at Rockin’ Jelly Bean’s joint exhibition with fellow artist Sketch called “The Monster Show”.
