Their jobs sound fun!

Our next San Francisco show is seriously so exciting because it features three HUGE names from the animation and video game industries: Lou Romano, Dice Tsutsumi and Soosa Kim!

You may have heard of Lou Romano, who is the award winning Production Designer for Pixar's "Incredibles" and was also the voice of Linguini in "Ratatouille" which is so awesome! Then we have Dice Tsutsumi who was an Art Director for Pixar's "Toy Story 3" among many other amazing and impressive projects. And finally we have Soosa Kim, who's been in the video game industry for over 10 years and is currently a concept and computer graphics artist for Namco! Seriously the coolest resumes ever. So, we're going to have a show featuring their personal artwork at the SF gallery. The show is called "Cuter Than Stranger" and opens May 21st. If you click on the image above you can check out the show blog (http://cuterthanstranger.blogspot.com) to see some in progress shots from Lou, Dice and Soosa.

Also, if you're interested in previewing the artwork from the show, please shoot us an email - gallery1988sf@gmail.com.

Happy Friday!

BIGGEST SMILE EVER

Watching Greg "Craola" Simkins have a cameo in, another G1988 artists', Travie McCoy's new video "Billionaire" - might just be the best thing I've seen all month. Please click the link and watch this video and look for another cameo from G1988 artist Pete Wentz.

You're now entering...

Been pretty excited to announce this show for over a year....



We'll be paying tribute to what is easily one of the most influential television shows in the history of the medium, "The Twilight Zone," with "Another Dimension," where over 50 artists will reinterpret and remix episodes, themes and iconography from classic episodes of the series. As a DIE HARD Twilight Zone fan, this is easily going to be a 2010 highlight for me at least (and when you own a gallery, you can book with that in mind). The show opens Thursday, May 20th and will have an opening reception from 7-10 PM. Will we play the Twilight Zone theme show over and over again on loop? Probably not. But maybe.

The above postcard features a small bit of artist Dave Perillo's piece, which is so awesome. Below is the entire image...



And one more tease....this one from G1988 favorite Kiersten Essenpries who takes aim at the famous "Eye Of The Beholder" episode...



Relive one of the greatest pieces of Science Fiction and mark down May 20th for "Another Dimension" at G1988: LA!

Johnny B. Good

Tonight is our opening for Jonathan Bergeron's "The Ordinary Life Of Death," and seeing all of Johnny's work hanging in the gallery reminds me why he's one of my favorite artists. Check out these pieces from the show:

And because of that darn volcanic ash, the Lora Zombie pieces didn't make it to the gallery (it's stuck in London), but the pieces are all available and awesome. 

You can see the whole show by CLICKING HERE - http://nineteeneightyeight.com/index.php/la/bergeronzombie.html?limit=25&p=1

Hope to see some of you tonight at G1988:LA, 7-10 PM, as Canadian artist Johnny Bergeron will be here, and he brought some incredible limited edition fitted "Death" hats (just like the ones you see above in his painting). Cap your ass.

Walking Dead Volcano

The last day of the Kathie Olivas/Brandt Peters show has arrived and we're sad to see it go. It's really been a great feeling to be able to see this work, in all different types of mediums and shapes, around the gallery everyday. Farewell, awesome show!

But we get to say hello to a totally different, and awesome, show - "The Ordinary Life Of Death" - a solo show from artist Johnny Bergeron. This show will also feature new works from artist Lora Zombie, or at least we hope so. Because of the volcanic ash issue, we might not be getting the works in time for the opening reception, but our fingers are still crossed. In the meanwhile, as we pray, the least I can do is show you what you're praying about. Here are some previews of our favorite import from Russia since Cousin Balky.

So let's just keep with the good thoughts, because they all will eventually get to us. I just think it's up to our thoughts to get it here quicker. Ok, I don't really. Make sure to come to the opening reception, Tuesday, April 27th, 7-10 PM and see how it unfolds. We also just got word from Johnny Bergeron that he will be attending, so now you have to go.
