A little while ago, I worked on collaborative project with Bobby Chiu on a cover for the book titled 'Half Minute Horrors' published by Harper Collins.
We're very excited to hear that this book is finally released in bookstores near you!
This book is a collection of deliciously terrifying short short tales and creepy illustrations including bestselling talents Lemony Snicket, James Patterson, Neil Gaiman, R.L.Stine, Faye Kellerman, Holly Black, Melissa Marr, Margaret Atwood, Jon Scieszka, Brett Helquist, and many more.
If you're interested in purchasing the book, please click here. For other information about Half Minute Horrors please visit the official site.
Also, later this month, we will be doing a signing at the Gladstone Hotel on Halloween. Here is the flyer for more info.
Here is the painting again that we did for the cover of this book.
For the last little while or so, I've been really busy day and night working on a new piece for an upcoming show I mentioned earlier.
The piece is finally finished now and at the framers. It will be sent out to the gallery in a few days for the Hello Kitty 35th Anniversary show titled "three apples" curated by Jamie from Japan LA.
The show will be opened to public on October 23rd and will be at Royal T in Culver City, Los Angeles.
Its looking to be a great show with an artist lineup such as Bobby Chiu, Kei Acedera, Edwin Ushiro, Gary Baseman, Ron English, Natalia Fabia, Camilla D'Errico, Buffmonster, Yoskay Yamamoto, Tessar Lo, Travis Louie, Nate Frizzell, Frank Kozik, Colin Christian, Tara McPherson, and many many more. Please check here for more information on the artists in the show.
I am really looking forward to this show and seeing other artist's work up close in person!
Right now, I can't release the piece yet until they make it public on their website. So please keep checking back, there are some great pieces up already!
I will be flying down to LA with my friends Bobby and Kei from Imaginism studios and will be in attendance for the show. Looking forward to meet you everyone at the show!
More info to come soon and I will post my piece here whenever it is released on the website.
