Co-curated by designer and artist Onch
July 11 – August 15, 2020
Regarding
this special “Sweet 16” group exhibition, Onch shares: “This show has a
very special place in my heart. Not only does it mark the coming of age
for my career, I also get to celebrate with some incredibly talented
artists and friends who have inspired me over the years. Each amazing
artist will create a one-of-a-kind artwork inspired by some of my
classic pieces. I am beyond humbled by and grateful for each of their
contributions. Collectively, these new works will showcase a
retrospective of how my wearable art has evolved from being handmade in
my kitchen to what it is today.”
Silence and Affirmation
July 11 – August 15, 2020
Sparkling
and sweet, Shimoda’s work is at once enchanting and disarming,
portraying a world where cuteness and horror coexist. Her portraits of
children are full of countless possibilities. She describes them as
"where fantasy meets with reality, past meets future, life meets death
and a world that is yet to be reborn." Not only do eyes communicate with
each character’s personality, but they are also a reflection of the
artist's own feelings and ideas.
A Journey
July 11 – August 15, 2020
July 11 – August 15, 2020
Yu's newest
series "A Journey" is a fantasy world centered around the artist's own
rumination of childhood and a celebration of growth. She shares, “The
world was smaller and brighter when I was younger, and I want to capture
that with my art. As a teenager, my biggest challenge in life was not
knowing who I was or who I wanted to be.

SMC Netflix Party of Edgar Wright's SCOTT PILGRIM VS THE WORLD
Fri, July 10, 7:30 PM – 9:30 PM
Fri, July 10, 10:00 PM – 11:30 PM
Sat, July 11, 8:00 PM – 10:30 PM
First up is Edgar Wright’s (now) beloved comic adaptation Scott Pilgrim
Vs The World. It uses music, video game, and comic book language to
tell the story of self-absorbed bass guitarist Scott Pilgrim who falls
for Amazon delivery worker Ramona Flowers but learns in order to date
her he must first conquer her six evil ex boyfriends.
Next up, we look at Jeremy Saulnier’s break-out feature film Blue Ruin
which follows the clumsy, comic, yet simultaneously graphically violent
revenge story of Dwight who is trying to exact retribution on the
Cleland family for a feud that nobody can completely explain.
Our final movie of this series is Paul Thomas Anderson’s The Master.
While receiving pretty near universal critical acclaim when it came out,
it nevertheless proved to be a more mysterious and elusive follow up
than many expected to Anderson’s previous cinema-ground shaking movie
There Will Be Blood.
Officially kicks off at 10am PT on Saturday, July 11
An ongoing series
of one-of-a-kind panels, screenings, and unique digital events to bring
the comic convention experience to the living rooms and viewing devices
of fans everywhere.
