Heroes and Villains has just been released over at Paper Tiger. The book is a collection of portraits and the subject list is a whos who of the contemporary art scene. Audrey Kawasaki, David Choe, Saber, Gary Baseman, Kozyndan, Shepard Fairey, and Mark Ryden to name a few.  Photographs taken by Tatiana Wills and Roman Cho. Apparently this is only Volume 1…
