”DO ASTRO BOYS DREAM OF ELECTRIC SHEEP?” by Sean Danconia
Created in Little Tokyo for the unofficial* Osamu Tezuka Gallery Exhibition (Q POP, Los Angeles).
“Do Astro Boys Dream of Electric Sheep?” imagines what Philip K. Dick’s vision might have looked like under the genius of Osamu Tezuka’s direction, with Astro Boy as the central focus of Deckard’s replicant hunt.
The artwork features a collage of various characters and iconography from a reimagined Blade Runner-inspired Cyber Punk universe including Golgo 13 as Rick Deckard, Ayako Wakao as Rachael Tyrell, Kabuki hero as Graff, Gloomy Bear, Brave Dan, Super Mario, Doraemon, Go Nagai’s Mazinger Z + Grendizer and of course a giant (Haro Kitti) ハロー・キティ robo!
Other notes of interest are the original esoteric hanafuda cards, retro Toei cinema + toy logos, kabbalistic imagery, ukiyo-e wave print reproductions sandwiched between a Tadanori Yokoo 60’s mandala-esque ethereal aesthetic.
*There is an OFFICIAL TEZUKA variant version of this piece available titled “ATOM ENDER” featuring Black Jack as Rick Deckard
