I once had an old Japanese professor who was obsessed with this iconic kitten to the point that he rattled on about her throughout every lecture, so I wouldn’t be surprised if he had a flight booked for Los Angeles to attend Sanrio’s Three Apples Hello Kitty exhibition!
Celebrating her 35th birthday, the Three Apples Hello Kitty exhibition will be featuring 80 artists, including Luke Chueh, Gary Baseman and Buff Monster. The guest of honor herself will also be making a special appearance. Best of all, part of all sales will be going to non-profit L.A. Works.
