The artist’s name is Bunko. Just Bunko. No first name, or none that we know of.
Beginning Monday, October 24 and running through Friday, November 11, some of Bunko’s artwork - and also artifacts related to his life - will be featured at UNLV’s College of Fine Arts.
Bunko’s artwork is unusual to say the least.
Arts writer Ed Fuentes curated the exhibition.
