MARS-1 ONLINE STORE

We featured art from MARS-1 in our very first opening, held in a SOMA loft in 2003.

Over the past two years, we have showcased MARS in LOTS of START SOMA art shows, and he is definitely one of our favorite local artists.

And since MARS is an amazing talent + an all-around great guy, it is particularly nice to see his career taking off internationally:

Solo shows worldwide...

Fancy magazine articles...

Widespread critical acclaim...

And yes, there is now a MARS collectible toy!

MARS just launched a new online store selling some new prints, and we thought that we would give him a plug. Here it is!
