Ukiyoe Heroes 2 with Jed Henry view photos Nucleus is very pleased to present a prolific project by one of our favorite artists, Becky Dreistadt. Capture Creatures is a year-long showcase of 151 creatures hand-painted by the artist, accompanied with imaginative stories by her partner Frank Gibson. Raised on a steady diet of cartoons and comics, Japanese and otherwise, Dreistadt has always dreamt of creating her own band of unique animals. This ambitious project will culminate with an exhibition of all 151 available original 5" x 7" works presented in conjunction with the release of a hardcover book compiling the creatures. Come meet Becky and Frank on opening night as they greets fans and signs copies of her new Capture Creatures book. www.capturecreatures.com Opening night includes chiptunes by Space Boyfriend More About the Artist: Becky Dreistadt grew up wanting to be the very best, like no one ever was.
