Martin Wong Gallery
Not me, but the San Francisco artist who I interviewed way back in Giant Robot 15. I only got to meet Martin Wong once, but he and his family were super nice and made a huge impression on me. They've even kept up with me over the years, sending letters and updates since he passed away in 1999.
Martin Wong was an incredible painter, and his work reflected such varying interests as hieroglyphics, graffiti, Chinatowns, and sign language. He also painted kissing firemen. You should have seen the work that was leaning all over every wall and piece of furniture at his parents' house.
On Saturday, April 21, a gallery will be dedicated to him at the SFSU Fine Arts Building. If you're in the area, it's worth checking it out.

Do you still keep in touch with his family? I know his dad passed away, but do you still communicate with Florence?
