The Asia Society in New York is hosting a landmark exhibition of Yoshitomo Nara's work and its ties to rebellion, rock and punk music. The neo-pop artist is known for his hipster creepy-cute images of children and animals.
On Friday, October 15, the museum will host a Cosplay competition in the artist's honor. Prizes from Forbidden Planet, Midtown Comics and the museum itself will be awarded. Participants need to be in costume inspired by either anime, comics, video games or your own original concept.
