]]>Currently on display, the showcase, titled GODZILLA THE ART, is the fourth installment of the project that celebrates the 70th anniversary of Godzilla’s first appearance in Ishirō Honda’s 1954 movie of the same name.
The event is curated by the reputable art gallery NANZUKA and features the works of 15 international artists, including Haroshi, Hiroki Tsukuda, James Jarvis, and Roby Dwi Antono. Each artist created a unique piece specifically for this exhibition, with Japanese artist Tetsuya Nakamura in charge of the “key visuals.”
“I paid tribute to the ancestors who have created Godzilla, and carefully repeated trial and error. In 1964, the violent and cool Godzilla motif focused on the beauty of the form and amplified my image of Godzilla,” Nakamura shared in a statement.
Since its big screen debut, Godzilla has been featured in 30 movies and three animated works produced in Japan, as well as five Hollywood films. The character also appeared in all sorts of other media, including video games, comics, books, and more.

]]>He began his project by making a miniature sculpture from polymer clay. Then, he put together the skeleton using bicycle inner tubes and the tires. The Alien King Marquette took him 20 days to finish.
“Unlike ordinary aliens, Alien King has more tentacles. He has a lot of gully and scales on his body. It is necessary to cut the tires into very thin strips to simulate the texture of his skin, which is very difficult to make. But I feel quite satisfied with the presentation of the finished product,” the artist said in a statement on his YouTube channel.
He makes other remarkable sculptures as well. Like, for example, Godzilla, Kong, Angemon from the Digimon anime, War Elephant, and many more.
He began posting videos on the internet a year ago and has already reached over 15 million views. If you’re interested to see how he does his magic, check out the gallery below!

]]>Featuring far more monsters than the first film, Godzilla: King of the Monsters is an absolute dream come true for fans of carnage and absolute destruction. Unfortunately, the sequel hasn’t been met with as much commercial success as the original. Case in point, Godzilla: King of the Monsters opened with $49 million at the domestic box office compared to the $93 million of 2014’s Godzilla.
Perhaps it’s the lack of action — the monsters don’t really meet that much or that often — or the fact that the movie is releasing along with other blockbusters.
Either way, while critics and fans may not like Godzilla: King of the Monsters as much, one thing that can’t be denied is that it’s full of meme material.
Take for example, what webcomic creator, Ernest Ng, did.
After seeing one particular shot where Godzilla is jumping out of the depths of the ocean to breathe “fire” into the sky, he decided to poke fun at the absurdity of it all.
Of course, nobody really cares about the logic behind it all, but he does raise a fair point, albeit in a hilarious way.
