Art at 35th North is proud to present the art of STUBBORN SIDEBURN for the month of May as well as the release of his LTD. Edition 35th North Shop Skate Deck. Junichi Tsuneoka was born and raised in Japan and,upon graduating Waseda University in Tokyo, arrived in the US at the end of the 20th Century. After five years …as a graphic designer, Junichi established a style often recognized as “California Roll Stylie,” the result of both a visual and conceptual fusion of Japanese pop culture and American urban culture. He founded STUDIO STUBBORN SIDEBURN to broaden his visual communication and to employ his visual language in art, illustration, and design. Junichi’s pieces possess highly communicative, assertive graphics, and contain clear signs pointing back to his strong design background. California Roll Stylie is still evolving, as it has been consuming Japanese traditional aspect to reflect in Junichi’s art.
