CIRCUS SIDESHOW ART
Nearly in the last 50 years, Yamada created numerous gaffs (a type of circus sideshow art. specialized artworks displayed as attractions of sideshow business), cryptozoological artworks (cryptid specimen models), large sideshow banners, and showfronts as a specialized sideshow artist in Japan and the United States. Those highly specialized artworks of curiosity and wonder have been exhibited at dozens of state fairs and festivals annually in Mexico and the United States, up to and including the present. Yamada also has been personally operating his internationally famed "Museum of World Wonders" and "Freak Baby Museum" at multiple locations in New York City (Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens) in New York. In addition to the sideshow banner artist (sideshow banner painter) and sideshow gaff maker (gaff master), Yamada also worked as a Stage Performer, Talker (Barker) and Lecturer for numbers of local and nation-wide traveling sideshow companies. Yamada's passionate followers and admirers around the world have created and posted over 500 youtube videos featuring Yamada and his hand-crafted freaks and oddities. In addition, Yamada exhibited those "non-main stream artworks" at "real main stream institutions" such as REAL museums, universities, colleges, national educators conferences, fine art galleries across the nation. If you are interested in commissioning Yamada high quality sideshow artworks, please send him an email with details including the basic concept, delivery/pick up deadline and budget.
