Garamaniacal Too @ FOE Gallery (Feb 13-March 8) & Garamon Carnival Punks by Atom Gray x Beezus 5000
"Garamaniacal Too! is a character themed art exhibit featuring the work of over 30 artists. Garamon is an iconic kaiju from the 1966 Japanese TV show Ultra Q. He is later reincarnated as the friendly Pygmon in Ultraman. See how this group of artists interpret the clunky, crusty, fish-lipped, oil-belching, high-rise wrecking meteor monster and learn about kaiju culture." (Read about the show here)

Also available at the show, are new GARAMON CARNIVAL PUNKS, made by Atom Gray and his cat (there is "photographic evidence" to support this!) … I'd better let him explain for himself :)
"… an entirely handmade edition of 36, exclusively available through the gallery for the run of the show. It was really great working in fabric for a change of pace, and you can see my furry assistant, the Beezus 5000, doing her best to facilitate the process in a couple pics. "
(Cheers for the headsup, Atom)
