Come Have A MASSIVE-ly Good Time With Us Tomorrow

Over the past year, OC’s relationship with MASSIVE—and its artistic powerhouse, Jiraiya—has spawned one of the most popular collaborations in our company’s history. From tees to sweatshirts to sex toys, Jiraiya’s erotic illustrations of husky, gay males have not only found a home on our merchandise, but a dedicated cult following in the states.

Here’s the thing—we don’t exactly know who Jiraiya is.

Jiraiya—a pseudonym which translates to “child of thunder”—has spent his entire career out of the public eye, never revealing his true identity. It is, then, an honor to announce that Jiraiya will finally be changing that, all under OC’s roof. Ending his first-ever US tour in style, Jiraiya will host an intimate, exclusive print show tomorrow, March 28 from 6 to 7 PM at our 33 Howard Street location. The show, entitled Larger Than Life, features four 36x24" large-format prints of Jiraiya's work, available in super limited-editions of ten each, all signed and numbered by the artist. Also available—in super limited edition—is the wildly popular MASSIVE Anthology Book, a rare comic by Jiraiya titled Caveman Guu, and 8x12" prints and tank tops featuring the artist’s work.

If this doesn’t entice you, perhaps the prospect of meeting a highly secretive artist will. Just remember: there are no photographs, so you’ll have to commit his face to memory (or sketch a comic of your own).

Jiraiya will host his Larger Than Life show at the Opening Ceremony 33 Howard Street location on Saturday, March 28 from 6-7PM
