It’s been 35 years since Ikuko Shimizu first put pen to paper and created the insanely adorable and globally loved Hello Kitty, and as part of HK’s 35th anniversary celebration parent companySanrio has seen fit to place her familiar mug on just about every product imaginable.
but even more than that , two of the best artists and best friends are having a show in philly, and now I can justify driving down there for my cheese whiz on my cheesesteak. Joe To AKA: KING TO, I knew this fucker when we both used to be skinny, invaluable to team choe, Joe has helped me out with every major exhibition I’ve had in the last few years, from china to London, he’s the annoying asshole that drew better than everyone in art school, come see him shine on his own in philly, Rob Sato throws a fastball that can break every bone in your hand but decided to wield a paintbrush instead of pitching for the pink team, if you ever wanted to look at or purchase art that is insanely detailed and layered with humor, mayhem, adventure, heavy metal, science fiction, history, pastoral beauty, questionable behavior, and true love , then don’t be a douche and come to philly on SEPTEMBER 4RTH!!! And watch these two destroy together, and then each other Metropolis Gallery 154 N. Prince St. Lancaster, PA 17603 Phone: 717 572 9961 - Hours: Mon-Sat:11-6 www.metropolis-store.com www.myspace.com/metropolis_gallery www.flickr.com/photos/metropolis-store/ I got to interview Rob Sato and Joe To at the same time, both featured in this month’s issue of JUXTAPOZ, go get that shit
The next day I get on a plane to NORWAY, I never been there, I heard its very white and very cold, there’s a huge art and music festival , the music will be bands like LIQUID LIQUID, DEERHOOF, MU’M, and FAUST, and the art part will be people like ,me, SWOON, LOGAN HICKS, and more , it should be good clean fun,.... we’ll see. ROB AND JOE SHOW
