Sanrio's 50th Family Vacation
60" x 36"
acrylic and cel vinyl on wood
2010
Mentioned this last week, but I wanted to make sure you got to see the fully unveiled version... Check out artist Martin Hsu's crazy Sanrio fantasy painting, created in celebration of Sanrio's 50th Anniversary exhibition.
The image above doesn't do the painting justice at all. You have to see the full, enlarged version (on Martin's website) here.
The coolest part, Martin informs me, is that Sanrio has bought this piece. They previously bought Martin's painting, "Once Upon a Kitty Wedding," for Hello Kitty's 35th Anniversary in 2009. So now they've got two of his works. More on Martin's blog: Sanrio's 50th Family Vacation- Small Gift.
For more information about Sanrio's Small Gift celebration, now happening through November 21 at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, Calfornia, go to the Sanrio website here. For more art from Martin Hsu, go to his website here.
