Guess what?

We got the Daniel Danger Fenway prints in today for shipment and pick-up! Sorry for the delay, but trust me when I say it was well worth it. We are totally sold out of this print, but if you ordered one, your print is either on its way to you right now or ready for pick up.

THANKS

Amazing Show

"Cuter Than Stranger" opened last Friday with a completely packed house!! It was such a fun night. Huge thanks to Dice, Soosa, and Lou for putting together a great show! Also a huge thank you to Lauren at Pearl's Kitchen for braving the windy cold to serve some delicious food. Hopefully she's be back at a future show!

You can now see all of the available artwork on our website...

It's a great show, so if you're in SF make sure to stop by and see in person before it closes on June 12th.

You Are About To Enter...

Tonight, 7-10 PM, will be the opening reception for "Another Dimension," our newest group show, this time paying tribute to the classic Sci-Fi television show, "The Twilight Zone." Here are some last minute sneaks before we open up for tonight, do not miss this one....







Tom Whalen took aim at some of the Twilight Zone's most famous actors and episodes, by taking the stars and putting them in other roles, but still in the Twilight Zone episode. Pretty awesome and smart, and these are VERY limited.



Ken Garduno, who did 10 pieces for the show (!), is really the stand out. This one is based on "Time Enough At Last," my favorite episode.





Wade Schin created another one of his epic one-a-kind figures, this one just might terrorize a young William Shatner from the wing of an airplane.





On the subject of smart, Mylan Nguyen did an incredible piece based on "Time Enough At Last." This one is a book that she drew and painted on, representing Burgess Meredith's ever-so-beloved (yet tragic) books. But open the book up, and see more of Mylan's work, and the back up glasses Burgess should have made, with include actual coke bottle bottoms and tape. SUCH A SMART PIECE!



G1988 fav Kiersten Essenpreis enters "The Eye Of The Beholder," another classic tale. Not everyone can be beautiful.



Another "Time Enough At Last" piece, this time by Ellen Schinderman, who created a needlepoint depicting that infamous final scene...right before his world comes crashing down.

Again, DO NOT MISS TONIGHT! Going to be a great show to see in person....

The Zone

We're getting ready for tomorrow night's opening reception for "Another Dimension" here at G1988:LA and it's shaping up to be quite the experience for anyone who considers themselves a Twilight Zone fan. And for those who are regulars to G1988, you're going to see more new names than ever before, which is rather exciting. Here's a sneak preview before the reception tomorrow, Thursday night, from 7-10 PM - which you should for sure attend. I think I'll get you a sneak peek at some prints later today too!



Johnny Sampson takes a turn at "The Dummy," one of my favorite episodes, which also forced me to be afraid of ventriloquist dummies from that point on.



G1988 newcomer Joe Scarano summons "To Serve Man," which is by far the most depicted episode in the show, and obviously left quite a dent in pop culture and the imaginations of everyone.



A G1988 favorite Danielle Buerli sculpts the man himself, the brains behind the mystery, Rod Serling. This one-of-a-kind piece is incredible.



Carl Lozada has a piece in the show that also gives his take on the classic "To Serve Man." One of the more humorous takes...



A G1988:SF regular, but a first timer to our LA location Lawrence Yang did three amazing pieces for this show. Featured above is his take on "Time Enough At Last," maybe my favorite piece in the show.

Don't miss this show! You're going to love it....that's a promise in this reality.

It's LOST Again

In celebration of LOST's final season and to bring finality to the LOST poster series, 8 top designers and artists, who are also fans of the show, were commissioned to create artwork celebrating top moments from the 6th and final season. 4 artists you may recognize, and 4 new artists to the campaign, created labor intensive, hand-pulled screen prints, limited to an edition of just 550, with 500 available to the public through our website.

Their jobs sound fun!

Our next San Francisco show is seriously so exciting because it features three HUGE names from the animation and video game industries: Lou Romano, Dice Tsutsumi and Soosa Kim!

You may have heard of Lou Romano, who is the award winning Production Designer for Pixar's "Incredibles" and was also the voice of Linguini in "Ratatouille" which is so awesome! Then we have Dice Tsutsumi who was an Art Director for Pixar's "Toy Story 3" among many other amazing and impressive projects. And finally we have Soosa Kim, who's been in the video game industry for over 10 years and is currently a concept and computer graphics artist for Namco! Seriously the coolest resumes ever. So, we're going to have a show featuring their personal artwork at the SF gallery. The show is called "Cuter Than Stranger" and opens May 21st. If you click on the image above you can check out the show blog (http://cuterthanstranger.blogspot.com) to see some in progress shots from Lou, Dice and Soosa.

Also, if you're interested in previewing the artwork from the show, please shoot us an email - gallery1988sf@gmail.com.

Happy Friday!

BIGGEST SMILE EVER

Watching Greg "Craola" Simkins have a cameo in, another G1988 artists', Travie McCoy's new video "Billionaire" - might just be the best thing I've seen all month. Please click the link and watch this video and look for another cameo from G1988 artist Pete Wentz.

You're now entering...

Been pretty excited to announce this show for over a year....



We'll be paying tribute to what is easily one of the most influential television shows in the history of the medium, "The Twilight Zone," with "Another Dimension," where over 50 artists will reinterpret and remix episodes, themes and iconography from classic episodes of the series. As a DIE HARD Twilight Zone fan, this is easily going to be a 2010 highlight for me at least (and when you own a gallery, you can book with that in mind). The show opens Thursday, May 20th and will have an opening reception from 7-10 PM. Will we play the Twilight Zone theme show over and over again on loop? Probably not. But maybe.

The above postcard features a small bit of artist Dave Perillo's piece, which is so awesome. Below is the entire image...



And one more tease....this one from G1988 favorite Kiersten Essenpries who takes aim at the famous "Eye Of The Beholder" episode...



Relive one of the greatest pieces of Science Fiction and mark down May 20th for "Another Dimension" at G1988: LA!
