It's a great week for pop culture art, you have all the galleries we mention with new shows, but 1988. If it's Japanese culture, like DBZ or just wanting to see movies that will never exist, this is a nice week to admire the work of artists who will never be remembered for their own ideas.
Highlight of the week
Dragon Ball 30th Anniversary/Akira Toriyama Tribute Show;

from site:
A year has passed since we hosted
Hot Pot Girls by Katsuya Terada. Aside from his status as the "Doodle
King," he practically holds "legendary" status in Japan. While his
audience for original art grows, his constant effort into work shows.
He'll pursue a part II of his Hot Pot Girls series. We'll make an
assumption that he hasn't had enough of the series. 2014 also marks his
30th year in
illustration.
