Going, Going, Gone

The "3G" opening reception came and went, with a HUGE crowd, Ernie Hudson (from Ghostbusters), a replica of the Delorean from Back To The Future and Ecto-1. It was a MADHOUSE and an incredible show, curated by the Autumn Society. I'm sure after Labor Day we'll start seeing some fun pictures online, but in the meanwhile here are some from my Twitter account (@JensenClan88).



Me and the man himself. His is afraid of no ghosts. But slightly afraid of the hand that rocks the cradle.



By far the cutest thing I saw all night.



A pleasant surprise, the BTTF Delorean made a pit stop at G1988.





ECTO-1, yall.

Two amazing shows in two days. It's been a little overwhelming this week, but well worth it. I'm sorry I missed the 3G Show at the Los Angeles gallery, but we were busy setting up the Cult Customs show in San Francisco, which looks like it's going to become an annual show! The available work is up on the website, so you can check it out here...

Geeeeeeez soooooon

It's officially Friday and that marks the opening reception for "3G" - Gallery1988:LA's newest exhibit. This time we partnered with Philadelphia artist collective The Autumn Society, and each artist in the show had to do one piece each, inspired by the movies Ghostbusters, Gremlins and Goonies (respectively - and respectfully). Basically, it's insane.

Some of the best pieces in the show prints, that have editions of less than 20. Since we won't be pre-selling any of the prints, and the phone calls and emails have become uncountable, we're telling you once again, the line for the show starts at 5 PM. Just make room for the Ecto-1, cause that's coming. And so is a Ghostbuster. Rumors of a Goonie, and a certain Gremlins director, have been whispered, but we'll have to see, won't we.



Thanks to our friends at Thrillist, for really hyping the show up o their front page and daily email. You can read the article by CLICKING HERE.

Gonna be a lot of fun, so don't miss out, Friday night, 7-10 PM. 3G!!!!

ANOTHER incredible poster advertising September 3rd's "3G" art exhibit, this time by Brandon Schaefer.




This show just keeps outdoing itself. Truth is, the prints from this show are very limited, and we expect a large crowd, so we're encouraging people who want to buy limited edition prints from the show to arrive early. But more on that later.

Don't cross the streams.

This happened


Thanks to our friends at the Turner Classic Movies Blog - Gremlins director Joe Dante said this about our art show -

"It’s amazing to me that 25 years after the fact, Gremlins is still inspiring (if that’s the word) people to comment on it. I guess there was something about the mid-80s, or maybe it’s just cyclical. We were invoking the 50s then, today it’s the 80s. Go figure."

I mean, that's unreal.
