Fire Works

Cult is coming, and the heat is undeniable (I mean...Pee-Wee Herman tweeted about it!). The pieces delivered are hands down the best we've gotten in the history of this show. To be honest, I'm a little shocked. We so honored and thankful that all these artists really stepped it up and delivered some of their most impressive work. Which is the perfect lead-in for another sneak peek.



One of my personal favorite artists, Shannon Bonatakis, depicts everyone's favorite slacker, Enid from "Ghost World." Shannon was quietly become a sure-fire seller over the past 2 years, and we can't wait to see what she has up her sleeve for the rest of 2010.



First-time Cult-ers, art team APAK delivered their take on Loompa Land, which seems like a no-brainer for their incredible style. So happy to have them involved in this show.



Kevin Tong gives us his Rushmore inspired screen print, which has so much detail! One of my favorite films highlights young Max's varied talents and club participation. This is awesome!



Augie Pagan lines up The Usual Suspects in what is easily one of the smartest and funniest pieces in Crazy 4 Cult history. I won't ruin all the references, but if you're a film buff, you should be able to get most of them. CHE!!

AND HERE'S THE EVITE KIDS! Remember this Friday night, 7-10 PM is the opening reception. Come party with us and Kevin Smith 7 Scott Mosier, and many other surprises!

Way Beyond

A rare Art Fair appearance by us, but we had to do something for Beyond Eden since the concept and participating galleries seemed so cool. We usually pride ourselves on being outside the LA art bubble, but we couldn't be more proud of what we're bringing to Beyond Eden.

Taking place October 9th, 10th and 11th at the LA Municipal Gallery at Barnsdall Park, we'll be displaying new available works from Shannon Bonatakis, Ben Strawn, Scott Campbell, Lauren Gregg (who has one new painting called "Farting Falcor" - so take that snooty art fair patrons!), Krista Huot and Daniel Danger.

While we're at it...let's preview one of Scott's new Showdowns he created for Beyond Eden. THAT DAMN FAX MACHINE!



He'll have a handful more never-seen-before Showdowns and even some more new Musician Series pieces. More previews to come. Make sure you do not miss this event!

Holy Poo

With 150 pieces getting the final touches, an in-gallery installation coming together and just pure chaos ensuing...I didn't get to preview as much work as I wanted to on the eve of Crazy 4 Cult 3-D. So I figured I'd make up for it, by posting some favorites of mine that haven't yet been previewed online.

Surprise participant Bob Dob makes a long-awaited return to Gallery1988 with his first painting on our walls in over 2 years. Mr. Pink and Mr. Yellow get the treatment this time.





Rik Catlow, quickly becoming a collector favorite at 1988, gave the show's MVP Edward Scissorhands a makeover.



The always dependable Mari Inukai is up for a little bit of the ultra-violence...



Australian artist Jodee Knowles channeled Donnie Darko....



Shannon Bonatakis reminds us the gum chewing is rude.



And I swear to you....there are 100 more incredible pieces JUST LIKE THESE!

DO NOT MISS THIS SHOW!

It open tomorrow, Thursday, July 16th, with an opening reception from 7-11 PM.

Make sure you come on through...I'm getting some much needed rest.
