I'm really excited to announce that LA street artist Shark Toof will now have prints available at Gallery 1988: LA! I hunted the dude down like I'm Jake Gyllenhal and he's the guy who may slash may not have been the Zodiac killer (but definately had a creepy basement), making sure we get his GREAT prints available for purchase.
You have seen his wheat pastings and prints all over Los Angeles (I mean the dude treats La Brea Ave. like it's an art gallery wall). Here are some pictures to remind you...
So, yeah, you totally know him. And now you have a name to put with the image. And an amazing name. I mean, SHARK TOOF! And now you can also own some of the exact work you see on the streets, as well as some VERY limited prints. I do see big things for Mr. Toof in the future, as he has LOTS of people talking. Here's a rundown of the new stuff, available now...

Get your Shark Toof on. You will not regret it. I'm picking up one of the large ones and taking it over to Framing House (oh, c'mon, it's the worst kept secret in LA art!) and putting it up in the game room. So should you. We have these available for pick up at the gallery or by emailing us at gallery1988@aol.com or calling at (323) 937 - 7088.
And while on the topic of overly long blog posts...
What better time than now to announce the winner of our Crazy 4 Cult Andrew Wilson poster contest and give you all the answer key? Listen, I know we're late. Some stuff has to go back burner for a minute, but it will eventually get the flame. Congrats to our winner, Cory Balsitis, who will get a smattering of cult prints and praise from friends near and far. But for those just wanting to sharpen their Shark Teef (CALL BACK!) on their cult skills...here's your key.
