New Prints: Wet Hot American Summer

At SF Sketchfest this past weekend, we were lucky enough to be included in the "Wet Hot American Summer Live Radio Play" at the Marine's Memorial Theater in San Francisco. We were there, before and after the event, selling prints from our recent Wet Hot themed show "Camp Firewood." We also released 4 new prints, which are now available on our website! One of these prints is the sold out show favorite "Wait for Me, Abby Bernstein" by Justin Santora in a new blue color variant!

SF Sketchfest 2012!

We're so excited to announce that we will be at SF Sketchfest this year, participating in one of the most exciting events on the schedule! If you don't know about SF Sketchfest, the amazing annual comedy festival in the Bay Area, learn more by CLICKING HERE.

After successful comedic partnerships with Comedy Central and FunnyOrDie, G1988 will take the show on the road, to San Francisco, for "Wet Hot American Summer: The Live Radio Play." Taking place January 21, 2012 at the sold out Marines' Memorial Theater, G1988's participation will continue the success from "Camp Firewood," the recent 10-year anniversary tribute art show we held at our Venice location for the cult classic, "Wet Hot American Summer." For the live radio play on the 21st, which will be adapted for the stage by Thrilling Adventure Hour's Acker & Blacker, will feature Michael Ian Black, Chris Meloni, Joe Lo Truglio, Amy Poehler, David Wain, Paul Rudd, Molly Shannon, Marguerite Moreau and Ken Marino on stage performing the movie as never seen before!

Gallery1988 will be set up in the lobby, before and after the show, selling some of the most popular posters from our recent "Camp Firewood," and releasing 4 new prints made especially for, and released first at, SF Sketchfest.



This one might seem familiar, as it's a brand new color variant of the "Wait For Me, Abby Bernstein" print from artist Justin Santora that sold out almost immediately during the Wet Hot tribute show. We'll have these in limited quantity first at Sketchfest Radio Play event, then whatever is left over will be sold on our website, gallery1988.com.







With the help of artist Brandon Rike, Gallery1988 created these iconic prints of Andy, Coop and Gene from the movie, each limited to only 50 each! These are awesome and seem like perfect prints to get signed that night. Whatever is left over from the event, will again be available on our website after the 21st.

If you're attending SF Sketchfest, make sure to stop by and say hello. And if you're so inclined pick up a print and fondle some sweaters.

Danny's Song

Justin Santora inspired by Wet Hot American Summer with an amazing Kenny Loggins soundtrack...

Ooooh! Culty.

The day before Crazy 4 Cult 4 opens, and the gallery is abuzz with anticipation. The art really is so impressive, I hope as many of you as possible can swing by the opening reception, Friday night, 7 - 10 PM. With Kevin Smith hyping it up on KROQ this morning (which is becoming an annual tradition in its own right), we're expecting quite a fun evening.

For those interested in purchasing prints (which by the amount of emails seems like everyone), the first time they will be available is at the opening reception on Friday night. Then, prints will be for sale online at our website, gallery1988.com, on Saturday afternoon. And all the originals will be up then too!

And we will start the line outside the gallery at 5 PM PT.

Time for sneak peeks again...



Stella Im Hultberg, who's portrait of Marla from Fight Club is a major highlight from Crazy 4 Cult's past, returns for CFC, this time giving us her take on Mathilda from 'Leon: The Professional." She basically did it again, as this piece is stunning.



Justin Santora celebrates the 15th Anniversary of Mallrats with a poster depicting "that kid on the escalator." One of my favorite moments from one of my favorite movies. Can't wait for people to get this signed by Kevin Smith himself.



G1988 newbie Scott Listfield literally has BLOWN us all away. This incredible piece is even more stunning in person and lays down the parking law. The trip to the opening reception would be worth it if we only displayed this one piece, trust me.



Casey Weldon and I obviously share a muse, as he takes a shot at Mathilda as well, showing us Natalie in all her NY shine.



Daniel Elson brings his meece to the show again, this time from a galaxy far, far away. Love these!



And lastly, here's the Crazy 4 Cult official poster for 2010, this time designed by Sir Mike Mitchell. I can't really praise these enough and by the amount of emails we're getting, neither can you.

SOON.
