Monsters are coming, in fact people in monster costumes are coming and we will fight them! This Saturday Q Pop, the tiny, yet fearsome store/gallery in Little Tokyo is holding
Opening Reception: Saturday, Nov 16 7pm-1pm
QPop 128 Astronaut E S Onizuka St, Los Angeles
Runs Until Dec 1
Here's preview art from around the net of this epic battle of men dressed in monster suits and the heroes who transform to fight them. Thinks Power Rangers and Godzilla art on a much grander scale including notable and unknown series from Japan. There's going to be music, Japanese food and a kicking kaiju costume contest. Dress as your favorite kaiju monster to win prizes.
From the Q Pop newsletter:
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.
