For those in the Los Angeles area, Gallery 1988 will be showcasing a new exhibit, Under The Influence: An Official Tribute To Beastie Boys, that’s starting this week. Artist and friend Martin Hsu will have a new original piece, Intergalactic Elementary, a take on the Beastie Boy’s popular song that is now stuck in my head.
The show opens this Thursday, January 8th with 100 artists, which I definitely want to check out. I’ve always enjoyed The Beastie Boy’s tribute to Japanese monster movies and the Shibuya train station with their Intergalactic video (ugh, there it goes, stuck in my head again).
Speaking of popular music and Asian American artists collaborating, I can’t be the only one to notice that Luke Chueh designed the latest album cover for Fall Out Boy, right? I don’t know how I feel about that, though. Fall Out Boy, really??

Holy crap! I’ve been meaning to blog about Martin Hsu forever, and you totally beat me to the punch. I’ve seen this guy at a bunch of alternative craft fairs – MakerFaire, the Alternative Press Expo – and I ended up buying his Olive Propoganda t-shirt. Anyone who hasn’t seen his stuff, check it out; his stuff is SLICK.
