We are saddened to hear of the passing of master pop artist Keiichi Tanaami. His work was equally fueled by the horrific atomic blast he witnessed in World War II and the bright and ugliness of pop culture (B Movies, animation, comics, pornography, Disney and consumerism). Tanaami’s art is both beautiful and horrifying. Keiichi Tanaami was a Hi-Fructose cover feature of issue 38 and we interviewed him on several occasions. Our sympathies to his friends, family and fans all across the world.
