EL Zombo 2nd one WIP sneak peak 2

This piece is almost done, it tooks much longer than i expected.

" Heroes are everywhere—parents, teachers, servicemen and women. This inspired exhibition celebrates heroes from the creative world of Anime and Manga utilizing digital arts, sculpt modeling, 3D design and printing technologies, and traditional mediums such as acrylics and ink.

Manga are comics created in Japan, or by Japanese creators in the Japanese language, conforming to a style developed in the late 19th century. Anime are Japanese animated productions featuring hand-
drawn or computer animation. As a tribute to the kid in all of us, a diverse group of innovative artists  from film, television, video games, and publishing have been selected to honor legendary Japanese artists and their heroes.

Artists include: Patrick Ballesteros, Carlos D'Anda, Rafael Grassetti, Ryan Hall, Pete Han, Felix Ip, Jin Yung Kim, Kimie Kim Mizutani, Dzu Nguyen, Angel Palacios, Thomas Perkins, Mai Van, and Dave Wilkins.

The Hero exhibition runs from Sunday, January 5 through Sunday, June 13, 2014 with special events,lectures, and workshops planned for Great Park STEAM field trips on Thursdays and Fridays, March 6 through June 13, 2014 and during Imagination Celebration: the annual, county-wide, spring arts festival for children, teenagers, families, and creative people of all ages, presented in conjunction with Arts Orange County and the Orange County Department of Education on Saturday, April 12, 2014. "

All the banners were done by the insane RPH aka Peter Han -at the opening Peter will be doing LIVE SUMI INK piece almost 60 ft in length or maybe it's 30ft -anyway it's BIG- BE THERE !

Gozilla x Ultraman

this is one of the earlier idea of my piece for "TOKUSATSU 2" show, i change the monster from "Gozilla" to "Pigmon". I think pigmon is more related to Ultraman and more cute.

You can see my final piece at previous post.
