Cause the Cause

We're honored to tell you guys about a special charity art event put on by our friends at Mattel called "Dream Halloween: The Art Show." Benefitting an incredible charity G1988 has worked with in the past, Children Affected by Aids Foundation (CAAF), there will be a silent auction for original art, mostly from the in-houses geniuses at Mattel (which includes 1988 regular Brandon Sopinsky above) and your bids go to such an amazing cause. We ask you guys to check out their website, www.halloweenintoyland.com and give to a worthy cause and pick up some worthy art! And artists: You can donate art too! Check out the "Donate Art" section to see how!

UPDATE - Art donation submissions can be sent to David.Voss@Mattel.com with an estimated value.

QUICK UPDATE HERE TOO - There will be a preview night that is open to the public. It will be October 22, from 6:30 to 8:30 PM at the Automobile Driving Museum (610 Lairport St. El Segundo, CA). Casual attire, drinks and light food will be served. And get this - a good amount of original He-Man Packaging Paintings from the 80's will be in the silent auction at the preview. The ones from the boxes! BUT LET THIS BE SAID - you will be bidding against me! And all a nice early set-up for the He-Man show we're doing with Mattel in January!

Beginning to look a lot like....

The last week of September and that always is such a great time of the year - as October creeps up and Halloween starts to peer its ugly head around the corner. And for us at G1988: LA, that means it's the last week of Luke Chueh's Inferno and the rumblings of Alex Pardee's "Hiding From The Normals" are starting to be heard. I have seen a bunch of the paintings and I can genuinely say that Alex has created quite the universe for Halloween. I think it's a total no-brainer that one day Alex will be professionally designing horror characters for Hollywood (especially after his time with "Chadam" at Warner Bros. SOMEONE PUT THAT OUT!). Excited for you guys to see what he's coming up with. In the meanwhile, we'll be doing an exclusive t-shirt with Alex and director/writer Michael Dougherty for "Trick R Treat," the DVD/Blu-Ray release we'll also be celebrating with our friends next door at Golden Apple. These shirts will be super limited and released the night of the opening reception (Oct. 6), so get them while you can. Here's a tease -



Don't tell anyone I showed you yet.

Also, artist Brandi Milne is getting into the Candy Corn guzzling spirit with a print release on her website (CLICK HERE for that).



The print is called "Something Wicked" and it's a hand-signed and numbered edition of 50, at 11.5 x 11 inches on archival picture rag. AND the first 50 orders get a free bonus print (seen below).



Pretty good deal and again, we're down for anything promoting the Halloween spirit.
