Dean Sameshima, Artist

If I might share with my readers, I've been inspired to write a little poem:

Yo, Studly . . .

Sameshima is a Dream,

Makes me wanna scream 'n cream

--Handsome Asian American Guys

Now, let's try figuring out why this handsome stud makes me wanna scream 'n cream . . .

Hey everyone, Happy New Year filled with Handsome Asian American Guys! Here's a hot artist stud named Dean Sameshima. According to his slick-looking website, he graduated from California Institute of the Arts in Valencia CA and Art Center College of Design in Pasadena CA.

Why is he so handsome? It is hard to say, because one is rendered speechless whenever encountering an image of him. For example, here is his "ButtHead" page at Butt Magazine. It's kind of like a personal ad for their community to admire his handsomeness. There are three beautiful pictures of him on that page.

Dean's tumblr blog is called Cruise or be Cruised. He also has an etsy.com shop of the same name where you can mail order t-shirts handsome Dean has silkscreened in Berlin. On handsome Dean's etsy "favorites page," you can see items other artists have made that appealed to sexy Sameshima for one reason or another, which gives a cool little opening into his awesome mind. He also has also curated a "treasury list" called "the men in my life . . ." on etsy which contains hunky cute artworks with beard and tattoo themes.

If you have a crush on somebody, there's nothing better than being inspired by their artistic creations and being able to order something they actually touched and made. It gives you a little thrill each time you see or touch what came out of them.

We can also see from one of these photos that he has some kind of attractive tattoo on his inner forearm!

This totally handsome stud of ours is acclaimed enough to be mentioned in the New York Times, which describes his work as "randy autobiographical" in this 2007 article on gay art, so he is definitely one of our more famous handsome asian american guys.

Here is a beautifully beglassesed Dean being lusted after by another famous dude, Professor Laurence Rickels. Rickels salivates as Sameshima is so studly when smiling!

You can also see what his handwriting looks like in this 2011 written response interview published in Oakazine. When answering a question comparing life in Los Angeles vs. Berlin, he says L.A.'s art scene is "intimate, family, bright" while Berlin's is "huge, lots of acquaintances, dark." He has intelligent thoughtful answers invigorated with youthful energy and an optimistic looking hand(writing), so it's worth taking a look at the Oakazine interview if you can. As of May 2011, he's inspired by tumblr.

He is either chewing on or licking his luscious thumb in this photo. He is so friggin' hot. Look at his hair and eyes, which are are looking at something to his right side. The Gauntlet poster behind him is interesting. Does anyone know exactly where it is from? I believe it was a famous piercing parlor, but maybe it was also a club or a band. All the files in the back give him an erudite air as well, which is super sexy too. He is majorly handsome.

He seems to have been inspired by John Rechy's book called The Sexual Outlaw.

Some of studly Sameshima's early work involved photographing Los Angeles bathhouse interiors. If you can't get your hands on a copy of handsome Dean's book of L.A. bathhouse interior photos, Hysteric 7, you can get peek of the photos in this youtube video someone kindly uploaded. Since Dean lives in Berlin, one wonders if he indulges in Berlin's famed bathing culture, or maybe one might even be able to spot his beautiful naked form at beautiful bathhouses in Europe! That would be so awesome to bathe with Dean!

I wish he would beckon to me like this. Smokin' hot.

Check out this sexy pic of Dean taken at The Web, which I believe is a bar in New York. A flickr user named "Evil Machinery" commented "haha, funny face, but he's so sexy" proving that Dean is a hot stud to many people.

Hey Dean, you are one of the hottest and handsomest guys on earth! Keep on with the awesome art, and thanks for being a beautiful stud!

UPDATE: Just found a 2009 studly Sameshima mention by fellow US Berliner, Vaginal Creme Davis on her blog that reads as follows:

. . . at Forum Expanded in the Sensory Spaces #1 program, handsome and well hung Japanese American artist Dean Sameshima was being charming and vivacious as he flitted about and flirted with Scandanavian beauty, photographer and multi-media artist Benjamin Alexander Huseby who is part of the group exhibit Psychometry at Exile Gallery. The stunning Mr. Sameshima and Mr. Huseby sure can turn heads.

Notice Ms. Davis also uses the adjective "handsome" for our Sameshima stud, in addition to "well hung," "charming," and "vivacious"! Wow!
