Tezuka Inspired Art Exhibit @ Atlantis in Kensington

Philly based artist (and frequent reader of the Geek) Eric Bresler is hosting his first solo show at the Atlantic Gallery in Kensington, an exhibit consisting entirely of Tezuka and Tezuka-inspired imagery. Those of you unfamiliar with Tezuka, he was the famed Japanese artist who created Astro Boy, Kimba the White Whale, and Black Jack.

According to Wikipedia, he’s often dubbed ‘the father of manga.” There are also unconfirmed reports of him rolling around in his grave after the release of the Astro Boy film.

But I digress.

According to Bresler, visitors who stop by for the opening night celebration this First Friday, will be treated to 1960′s Japanese rock and film screenings. To RSVP for the opening, you can check out the Facebook event page that Bresler has created. Or just show up and tell him Geekadelphia sent you.
