Big Trouble In Little Tokyo Painting

Corey TuT is a multidisciplinary artist in the fields of painting, design, music, photography and video. As a musician, TuT has toured the world, worked with artists as diverse as Ad Rock from Beastie Boys, Ultra Nate, and Peppermint and his music has been featured in countless movies and television shows. His photos have been published in the Village Voice and The Dallas Observer, and his paintings have been seen and collected around the world. Largely self taught, TuT’s insatiable curiosity and process of trial and error has kept his artistic journey fresh and ever evolving, and he is constantly surprised how one medium influences another. “Each piece I create, be it is a painting or a song or a photo, intersects and overlaps to guide my artistic journey. All the pieces tend to come from where I am at that particular time in my life, what I am thinking about and experiencing. It’s about observing, listening and following the breadcrumbs. Put them all together and you get a pretty accurate reflection of my life.” says TuT. His latest venture, Yes Homo Apparel is an LGBT clothing and accessories line which allowed TuT to flex his creative muscle as a designer and he has found that the color palettes of his designs crossing over into his painting. “It all springs from the same well, and I love to see how the work influences each other. I get fascinated by a color or a feeling and it bleeds into all areas of my work. It tells my story.” To see more of TuT’s work, visit .
