And check out this Fish Hooks “We Rock” Teaser!

I’ve had the pleasure of working as one of the character designers on this fantastic show. It’s been amazing working along side such talented, enthusiastic, and most importantly, funny people! Everyone worked their fish butts off to make this show as charming and entertaining as possible. If only there was a behind-the-scenes camera recording all the fishy madness!

Hey look! A giant Fish Hooks billboard! High school soaks!

Here’s a goofy doodle of Milo by yours truly  :) Milo voiced by the very funny Kyle Massey!

I highly recommend this fabulous show to anyone who would like to be entertained! Premieres Friday, 9/24 on Disney Channel! Fish Hooks!

Multigrain, a collection of paintings by Martin Hsu.  A new book for 2010!

Multigrain is a 58-page, full-color, hardcover, self-published book of some of my favorite paintings from the past few years.  It’s not only a collection of ideas, but a peek into my twisted painted world filled with family history, Chinese iconography, giant kaijus, and my love for Hayao Miyazaki.

Printed in Taiwan at a small local mom and pop printing shop, this limited edition of 500 book comes signed and numbered.

I hope you’ll enjoy Multigrain; it’s good for you!
