Yosuke Ueno
I found Yosuke Ueno's work on Juztapoz a while back, and fell in love with his gorgeous characters, and his elegant use of color. Had great shoot in Yoyogi park -- you can really tell his personality from looking at his work, actually! Check it out: http://www.spaceegg77.com/
Great guy and a very fun shoot.
