Guzu Gallery – Strange Beasts: A Tribute to the Japanese Kaiju Phenomenon


0
Guzu Gallery of Austin, Texas is bringing together a group of artists who will be translating the Kaiju universe from movie and TV fame to screen prints, original artwork and custom toys.Nerds everywhere should be familiar with at least one Kaiju monster from Japan, unless you have been living under a rock for the last 50 years or so. We’re talking of course about the world famous debut of Godzilla in King of the Monsters, as well as those unnatural creatures of immense size like Mothra, Gamera, and Rodan. Let us also not forget the Ultra Series, a collective name for all that is Ultraman and the myriad of Ultra Monsters.
