EVENT PRESS:
“Tokusatsu 2: Revenge of the Kaiju” is the second annual
celebration of the Tokusatsu genre and comes in time to help mark the
third anniversary of Q Pop Shop
opening its doors in Little Tokyo in Los Angeles, CA. On Saturday,
November 16th, the gallery will open its doors from 7pm to 10pm for an
opening reception and the show will end on Sunday, December 1st.
Over 60 artists pay tribute to live action Japanese sci-fi shows and film, names of which are listed on their
Facebook events page,
while we have some sneak peeks at selected artworks to share! As well
there will be a Kaiju costume contest with prizes given to the best
homemade Kaiju suits.
"Originating from the words tokushu satsuei (迚ケ谿頑聴蠖ア special
photography) this genre is known for utilizing various special effects.
For those of you who grew up watching shows such as Godzilla, Ultraman,
Kikaider, as well as many others, this is a great opportunity to
celebrate your favorite shows and characters. For those of you who are
less familiar with this genre, this is a great opportunity to get to
know this amazing and influential genre of film and TV. Those less
familiar might not even realize they have grown up with the shows, such
as Super Sentai that was adapted for US audiences and well known as
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers."
BTW, I had drew 2 piece for the show, I will show them here later.
