Here's the segment that our friends at Last Call With Carson Daly did with Pete Wentz at the gallery about 2 weeks ago, featuring the "Americana" solo show from Reuben Rude. Thanks for the shouts, Carson.

Shine On
Reuben Rude's installation piece, now finished and facing Melrose. It looks incredible. Gonna be seriously difficult to paint over that one at the end of the show.
You can see, and purchase, all the artwork by CLICKING HERE.
And make sure to come out tonight, 7-10 PM, to G1988: LA, and meet Reuben and see the show in person. It is seriously worth it.

Getting Ready For A Close-Up
Busy morning here at G1988: LA, the day before the opening reception for "Americana," Reuben Rude's debut LA solo show. We were lucky enough to have the folks from "Last Call With Carson Daly" come through the gallery to interview musician and artist Pete Wentz. It should be airing on NBC soon, and I'll let you know when I know here on the blog. Having us install a show in the background is gonna make for some pretty cool TV, in my humble opinion.
And then you got Reuben, who delivered all the work last night and it's AWESOME. And now he's in the gallery painting away at an installation.
Remember, tomorrow night, Tuesday, 7 - 10 PM. Stop on by...

Real Talk
A peak into Reuben Rude's new body of work for "Americana," opening this Tuesday night.
Reuben has a way of making some serious emotion, with minimal elements. A tactic rarely seen in an artists so successful in illustration. I'm an very hyped for this solo show.

Stormed In
The Quiet Storm opening reception has come and gone - and it really was a fun and busy night. Not so much for me, as I could only make it to 9:15, nursing what might be the worst infection of my life. The last few days I've been confined to my bed - and it's become so bad - I was tested for Swine Flu yesterday. Good news is...I don't have it. Bad news, that doesn't make it go away. But here's a picture of Roland, Krista and Scott, who all attended the opening reception...
The show is really impressive. You can check it all out by CLICKING HERE.
And with G1988: SF opening their Matt Dangler solo show tomorrow, the hits don't stop.
Speaking of...
Our next show at Gallery1988: LA is a special engagement solo show with SF artist Reuben Rude. I'm a huge Reuben fan and am excited to see what he's come up with to fill the LA gallery.
And in an announcement we'll explain more at a later date...during the Reuben Rude exhibition, spend some special time with artist Greg Simkins...
More on that later...

Rude!
Big announcement coming soon today regarding our 5 year anniversary show on April 2!
In the meanwhile, those who missed out on Reuben Rude's awesome Jay & Silent Bob poster from Crazy 4 Cult 2, are in luck.
We've reduced the price from $100 to $65, and now you can buy it direct with just a PayPal click of the button over at Stuff88.com. Hop on over and pick up a piece to remember your two favorite Quick Stop delinquents.
Talk again soon...

As the show installs...
Here are some images of Reuben Rude's and Jason Limon's new work in the SF show that opens on Friday. Watch out for the official preview going out tomorrow morning.
I think this might be my favorite show ever. Seriously, I wish you could all see this in person. The detail in Reuben and Jason's work is totally incredible.

We Keep Rolling
Here's a video taken by Kurt over at 5280 Lasers, that chronicles the night before the show opened. Cool in a sense that you see all the artwork without the back of people's heads, bad because it's before we leveled everything. So get ready to tilt your head a little, like when I ask my dog if he just pooped somewhere in the house.

And here's an article on the show that ran in Campus Circle...
I wasn't sure if you could read the text...so here's the copy (as they say on Mad Men)...
LAST YEAR’S CRAZY 4 CULT EXHIBITION INCLUDED ICONS OF Darth Vader, Napoleon Dynamite, Howard the Duck, Spinal Tap, Office Space, Clerks, Pee-wee Herman and Chunk. “You know these dudes, right? ’Cause if not, I will loan you my Blockbuster card and punch you in the face at the same time,”says Gallery 1988’s Web site of thecharacters in the sequel to last summer’s most enjoyable show, appearing in Crazy 4 Cult 2: This Time, It’s Personal. Hosted again by cult connoisseur himself, Kevin Smith, and his producing partner Scott Mosier, Cult invited over 50 artists to cast their unique eye on classic cult cinema. Why should you have to rely on overpriced Hot Topic Tshirts to showcase your love of The Goonies? Instead of pierced emo sales clerks who always seem to be talking to some guy with a shaved head when you’re trying to buy your cousin a Fall Out Boy shirt, wouldn’t you rather have your money go to Shepard Fairey (he of Obey/the ubiquitous Obama poster), Andrew Wilson or Luke Chueh? While originals go for hundreds and thousands of dollars, limited edition posters start at $20 and are a unique way to show your love of Back to the Future without that reprinted, torn-at-the-edges movie one-sheet you’ve been carrying around since freshman year of college. L.A. artist 2cents did a series of seemingly spray-painted screen prints of Milton, Alex, Doc,Willy, Jesus and Silent Bob. If you don’t know who they are, yes, you should be punched in the face – but save yourself future embarrassment (you’re right to be embarrassed) and inoculate yourself beforehand by seeing what will undoubtedly be the sleeper hit of the summer (sorry [insert whatever horror film is coming out this week]).
Gallery 1988 is located at 7020 Melrose Ave., Los Angeles. For more information, call (323) 937-7088.
Also, we weren't able to formally announce the new giclee prints we released at the Crazy 4 Cult opening reception, so I figured now might be the time, since most are really close to selling out.
First up, Misha's "My Protector"...
Here's a pic of Misha signing these Natalie tributes.....
Only $60 (!), these 8 x 10 inches giclee prints on archival paper are pretty darn sweet. Each hand signed and numbered, it's an edition of 50 that we're already running low on.
And next up...the one you probably already know about...Luke's Donnie Darko print....
$100, 11 x 14 inches, each hand signed and numbered, edition of 100. Or you could be an idiot and pay the $300 people are asking on eBay even though we aren't even sold out of them at $100. OH, nevermind, pay those eBay prices, cause we're SOLD OUT now.
And then we got Scott Schedily's "Prophecy of Frank"....
These are $80, 11 x 14 inches, hand signed and numbered and in an edition of 50. These are AWESOME, they look so good in person.
And lastly....Reuben Rude's tribute to Jay & Silent Bob...
$100 each, hand pulled screen prints, hand signed and numbered, 16 x 20 inches, edition of 50. Get these while they are hot, Snooch.
Anyway, now you're all caught up. I wish we were.
