Giant Robot: Asian Pop Culture and Beyond #artbound ep is now available to watch online from @kcet (link in bio)! @giantrobot was the first art magazine that I ever read when I left HI for art school, the first magazine I ever got a subscription for on my own, and the first original art piece I ever bought was from their gallery online (by @dethpsun)! It was so reassuring & inspiring as a student to see artists who looked like me making work I loved with similar influences as my own (especially when I was surrounded by what felt like a very “traditional” & “Western”-minded environment). I didn’t know at the time that my own art career would turn out to have such a focus in self-publishing and printed media, as well. A few HI artists got asked to make a print of Big Boss Robot to promote the documentary for HI folx, so this is my version: Beach Bum Big Boss Musubi! 🤙🌈☀️🌊 I feel so incredibly lucky to share work alongside such amazing artists! Thank you for inviting me to join, @umitoyshawaii! * * * #giantrobot #asianamericanartist #asianpopcultureandbeyond #hawaiiartist #musubi #kelschoo #kookookchoo https://www.instagram.com/p/CkP6dwyu8Po/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
