Hosted at the Gregorio Escalante Gallery in China Town, Jorge displayed his fantastic paintings in his first solo art show, which he dubbed, “Border Bang“. According to Jorge, his paintings were all inspired by “The cheap knock-offs they sell at the border [. . .]” and took about 2 weeks to complete 1 painting. Each painting was around $2,000.

To better explain his inspiration and art process, here’s Jorge R.Gutierrez:

Check out some of his paintings below, click to enlarge photos:

These were only a few of Jorge’s fantastic artwork. We hope we get to see more of Jorge and his art soon.

I would like to give a special thanks to my photographer, Peter Ortiz, without him, these amazing photos nor the small interview with Jorge would’ve been possible. Thanks Peter!

From enjoying awesome, futuristic technology to making new friends, its needless to say that Miku Expo concerts bring people together in every way possible, Let’s sit back and go through the beautiful and fun memories MIKU EXPO has brought us since its debut in the states.

MIKUNOPOLIS in LOS ANGELES (2011)

This was Hatsune Miku’s debut in the states. Held during Anime Expo 2011, The concert was a huge hit among Miku fans and possibly the cheapest of them all, with only $15 per ticket! Featured singers were as follows: Hatsune Miku, Kagamine Rin, Kagamine Len & Megurine Luka. This was the first MikuExpo in the states to also be available on DVD, BluRay DVD & CD. At the time of this concert, Miku was partnered with Toyota and Anime Expo.

A Blu-ray disc of NY’s performance was released.

Miku Expo 2016

In her most recent concert Miku comes back with brand new songs! To promote the concert, a song contest was made in which “Ten Thousand Stars” produced by CircusP, was the winner. Featured singers were as follows: Hatsune Miku, Kagamine Rin, Kagamine Len, Megurine Luka, KAITO & MEIKO. This Miku Expo was much like Miku Expo 2014, which an exhibition was showcased.

THE ART OF ZOOTOPIA SIGNING/PANEL

Just 8 days after Zootopia’s theater release date, Gallery Nucleus held a Zootopia Art panel and autograph signing event!

Zootopia fans lined up early morning at Gallery Nucleus in Alhambra, CA to buy the Zoopia Artbook ($40.00) and attend the artist panel. Special guests artists included:

Matthias Lechner (Art Director Environments)
Cory Loftis (Art Director Character)
Fawn Veerasunthorn (Story Artist)
Normand Lemay (Story Artist)
Kira Lehtomaki (Animation Supervisor)
Benson Shum (Animator Trent)
Trent Correy (Animator)

All of the special guests artists were behind the scenes and part of the development work for the movie, ZOOTOPIA!

During the panel, the artists explained their role and responsibilities during the production of Zootopia, showing us a step by step “In the Making of-” process of their work. Unfortunately, media was not allowed to take photos or videos of during the panel.

After the very informative panel, we were able to get our newly purchased Zootopia Artbook autographed by the artists. The Artbook was sold at the venue for $40.00, alongside art prints sent by Disney for Gallery Nucleus, which be still be purchased here.

I can personally say that by attending this event and with the exclusive information/behind the scenes process demonstrated, it changed the way I watched the movie. From a fan’s point of view to an artistic point of view. For those who didn’t attend the event, we can only hope the DVD will feature a “The Art of Zootopia” segment.
