"Dragon Boy" a solo exhibit featuring the works of Martin Hsu

This Saturday, January 14th, opens a solo exhibit at Dragatomi that I know a lot of art fans have been anxiously waiting for! “Dragon Boy” features a series of paintings by San Francisco artist Martin Hsu depicting the adventures of a boy in dragon suit on his way to find his roots in a foreign land. With Blackie, his kirin dog, by his side, they travel between reality and fantasy. They fly over the tallest of mountains and dive into the deepest of rivers while making new friends with magical creatures of all kinds. Dragon Boy aims to remind everyone to never forget the joy of being a kid, flying high, and smiling big!

The show sounds amazing, but what has The Blot super excited is news that Martin will be debuting a prototype of his upcoming "Dragon Boy" designer toy at the show! "Dragon Boy" opens this Saturday, January 14th, from 7 - 10 pm and will continue to be on display until February 4th, 2012 at Sacramento’s Dragatomi (2317 J Street; Sacramento, CA 95816).

Doctor Who x Wu-Tang Clan T-Shirt “Doctor Wu” by Alex Pardee

As you know, The Blot’s always on the lookout for cool pop culture t-shirts and this one is especially dope. Not only is it a killer mash-up of Doctor Who and the Wu-Tang Clan, but “Doctor Wu” is by one of my favorite artists, Alex Pardee! That makes it a triple mash-up of sorts. Plus, the title of the t-shirt is especially awesome.

Digitally printed on white American Apparel unisex tees, “Doctor Wu” by Alex Pardee can be purchased at the Zero Friends online store for $20 each.
