This Saturday, April 25th in Alhambra, CA, Gallery Nucleus is hosting a Street Fighter Tribute Art Exhibition called Jab Strong Fierce and there is a tournament with $800 in cash prizes! Just take one look at the poster designed by Gallery Nucleus’ own Ben Zhu. The art exhibit features over 40 artists with original Street Fighter inspired artwork. This is not just artwork from the game (although I’m sure there will be some), these are real artists putting out legit Street Fighter artwork. I love the idea and the concept and talked with Ben a couple of weeks ago before Bar Fights and he told me what they are planning for this event and I’m all for it! This is exactly what we need right now, expanding the SF culture!
The exhibit will run from April 25 to May 11, but you really want to be there on opening night because there will also be a tournament! 1st place is $500! There is a $35 registration fee, which may sound steep to you, but $500 is a pretty hefty prize so I think it’s worth it. You are able to bring your own sticks, so don’t worry about that.
If you think that flyer image is as cool as I do, then you’re in luck because I got Ben to send me a hi-res version suitable for printing! Click here to download it. Click here for more info on the event as well as to sign up for the tournament!
Also, I did a special short podcast with Ben, so give it a listen! We talk about all the details about the event, how it came to be, how the artists were chosen, etc.

Just got word of some more Jab Strong Fierce coverage, this time in video form! Veri7as and AJ Papa both made some awesome videos that really give you a good feel for what it was like to be at the event, including some great shots of the artwork itself.
