CYCLONE Feels the Foreigner Effect

The "Black Leather Rocket" himself, Vin CYCLONE. Ink on paper by MIOKO*.

KLW the KILLERWATT · The POWER HOUR #15

From high atop Mori Tower in Tokyo, KILLERWATT Program Director and DJ of the wee, small hours tells the true story behind the portrait. "Some DJs, I won't mention any names, have a portrait aging in an attic or transmitter shed," says CYCLONE. "Not me. I plan to parlay MIOKO's impromptu, faithful rendition of my faccia brutta into multiple tankōbon volumes, then maybe an animated film...." Hear CYCLONE tell all -- plus a brand new POWER HOUR -- click to play. 

*MIOKO is an artist, fashion model and actor. She very kindly made Vin's portrait. Check her Instagram page for more information about exhibitions and events. Thank you, MIOKO-san!
