Tofu Watch on "Yellow Terror"

A great Seattle-based blog called Tofu Watch spotlights artist Roger Shimomura this week. Shimomura's show, "Yellow Terror" opens today at The Wing Luke Asian Museum.

Brad Wong, the blog author, said that "Shimomura uses bold colors, cartoon images and icons from the past to explain issues of race, culture and discrimination."

"His collection of comic books, movie posters and other items captures how inaccurate perceptions and fear can distort what becomes accepted as popular culture," Wong wrote.

The blog and the museum Web site are definitely worth checking out.
