RON SWARNER: TACOMA'S TRIBUTE TO TOKIDOKI >>>

This is why you live here. This is one of those hidden gems of the South Sound. A sushi house with a conveyor belt, hanging local art because it adores local artists and helping charities and loving life and, of course, salmon roe. Artist, singer, actor Liza Brown will place her pop art at Sushi Revolution beginning Wednesday, Feb. 11, because Revolution owner Hannah Y. Pak wouldn’t have it any other way. Pak opens her walls to local artists. This is why there is hope for beauty and humankind in the face of CD gouging and Zoloft and printer cartridges and $3 bottled water.

I caught up with South Tacoma resident Brown â€" a painter for five years, a set designer, a bistro chalkboard artist, and moonlighter with the Led Zeppelin cover band Kashmir â€" who will cut the ribbon to her mural, Tacoma’s Tribute to Tokidoki, and many pop art pieces Wednesday at Pak’s Tacoma sushi joint. Read my interview with Brown on the Weekly Volcano Web Site (scroll to bottom).
