This exhibit will feature the personal artwork of 17 “City of Ghosts” creators, highlighting their individual visions, passion projects, and more, and ranging in media from pen and ink to homemade holograms, clay, colored pencil and collage, digital and traditional painting, plexi-glass, video and music.

Artists include: Mike Andrews, Kwasi Boyd-Bouldin, Ako Castuera, Alex Cline, Mercedes Dorame, Luis Grane, Chloe Hsu, Elizabeth Ito, Jasmin Lai, Bob Logan, Yulissa Maqueos, Hugo Morales, Keiko Murayama, Adam Muto, Claire Nero, Zen Sekizawa, and Pen Ward, with additional contribution from Decibel Studios LA.
