Not in Kansas anymore: A Tribute to Wizard of Oz

Dorothy, the Tin Man and Toto.

Since its publication in 1900, L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz has become one of the most well-known and loved stories in American popular culture. The book has since been followed by 13 sequels, reprinted several times, adapted to numerous stage plays, musicals and films, including the iconic 1939 MGM adaptation. Timed with the release of Disney's much anticipated prequel, Oz: The Great and Powerful, we have invited an exciting group of talent to celebrate the many adventures, adaptations and century-old legacy of Dorothy and her friends in Oz.

I'm glad to be part of this new show with my friends from Nucleus and being able to share this events with my buddies Amelie Flechais, Cory Godbey, Israel Sanchez, Joey Chou, Lorena Alvarez, Nicolas Delort...

Curiosities

 Mike Yamada and Victoria Ying all rights

Talented couple Mike Yamada and Victoria Ying have been collaborating on animation-inspired illustrations for some time. Most recently, the duo set out on a Kickstarter.com book project that successfully funded more than ten times their original goal. "Curiosities: An Illustrated History of Ancestral Oddity" is the tale of a brother and sister who inherit an old, mysterious mansion and all of the odd relics that are housed inside within. In celebration of the book's release, the couple has teamed up with Nucleus to present a very curious exhibition! I'm very honored to be invited by Nucleus, Mike and Victoria to be part of this exhibition. I will post soon my contribution.

You can check the exhibtion infos and awesome artists lineup, here.
