...This Matsui, a switch-hitter, has been coy about coming to the U.S. and will require a posting fee to the Lions if he's to be signed. But he's considered the best athlete in Japanese baseball...

The artist is coy about his yearly earnings, but reiterates that fun, not money, gets him off. Many of his figures?like Maxx and the 100 other handmade street-punk dolls in his Gardener series?are unique. Even the factory-produced pieces of the 10 series he's designed so far have limited-edition...
