Just the flyer alone lets you know this will be a fun show. Check out the Flickr preview here.

Scion Presents: “Ed Emberley & Friends”

Ed Emberley’s legendary drawing books inspired a generation of kids to become artists. In this show, Ed Emberley displays his original 1970′s mockups alongside five grown-up artists who were influenced by him.

Curated by Caleb Neelon, the exhibition features Ed Emberley as well as five artists who were inspired by him. The artists include Raul Gonzalez, Seonna Hong, Matt Leines, Christopher Kline and Saelee Oh.

For “Ed Emberley & Friends,” each artist will create a six-foot-by-six-foot wood panel that is a mash-up of their own style and that of Ed Emberley’s instructional drawing books. The tribute paintings will be exhibited alongside examples of each artist’s individual work. After the show, each of the large painted panels will be donated for long-term display in children’s hospitals around the United States.

Opening Reception: Saturday, July 17, 2010 | 7-10pm
