Too Cute!

I had to post this pic from the Ledbetter/Brandou show that opened in SF last Friday. Joe graciously sketched for a few fans, including these two cuties.



A BIG thank you to Joe Ledbetter and Andrew Brandou for putting together an amazing show! If you haven't seen it yet, you can check it out HERE.

We also had a great turnout at our new show that opened in LA last night. Thank you to everyone who stopped by, I heard it was packed! The show includes work from Allison Sommers, Bloo Empire, Brandon Bird, Dan Santat, Dave Chung, Erik Alos, Isaac Pierro, Israel Sanchez, Ken Garduno, Scott Campbell, Reuben Rude and Rich Tuzon. There are some GREAT pieces still available... ARTWORK.

Which reminds me... the Scott Campbell "PacMans Print Set #2" is now available!

- The best neighbors in SF and LA (StrangeCo and Golden Apple)
- Bernardo is gone
- Kevin Smith and Scott Mosier
- Peet's Coffee
- Scoops
- The recent release of Rock Band for Playstation 3
- Everyone who reads our blog :)
- Pan's Labyrinth

THE ULTIMATE GALLERY1988 SHOWDOWN

On the left we have Benjamin the Bugg, the golden boy and hometown hero weighing in at 14lbs, 6 oz. And on the right we have Finn the Min Pin, weighing in at 15lbs, 4 oz. He’s the OG G1988 mascot, returning to his roots all the way from rainy San Francisco, CA.

These two featherweights will face off for the FIRST TIME EVER, live this Friday at Gallery1988 Los Angeles! But who will be victorious? Will Finn’s wisdom and speedy foot work pay off? Or will Benjamin win first place with his distracting good looks and puppy charm?

Unfortunately, this showdown will not be open to the public, as it’s going to take place during Greg Simkins’ top secret installation Friday afternoon. But I promise to document the battle as I’ll be there to witness it myself because I’M COMING TO LA TOMORROW!!!

I am so excited to be back in LA.

See you all Friday night at Greg's show!
