Earning an accolade as one of the top 200 illustrators in the world by Archive Magazine, artist Jasper Wong will look to open his latest solo show later this month.

When looking at the re-appropriations of Jasper’s unhealthy love of the color pink, Mr. T and magical laser beams, you can’t help but smile as the artist’s fun-approach to his illustrations is evident. The show “Pitiful Fools” will open up on December 12th at 6 pm at San Diego’s Subtext, with the show wrapping up on January 11th.
