PaleyFest Poster #3!!!

Soooo...this year's PaleyFest Honors The Office had to be cancelled because of filming conflicts (it has now been replaced with PARKS & REC on the same night, the 16th!!!), but that doesn't mean the poster goes away...



One of our favorite artists, Canada's Jason Edmiston did this beau, and it will still be available - and the good news is - it will be available EVERY NIGHT! Starting tomorrow, Jason's poster will be purchasable at our table, and every night we're scheduled to be there, we'll have copies (including the obvious Parks & Rec day) to include with that night's honoree.

4 more to reveal, and honestly, we think this is our best print set yet! What do you think?

2nd Paleyfest poster!!

As we approach Friday night's kick off PaleyFest event for American Horror Story and Daniel Danger's corresponding screenprint...



(Daniel posted a better picture of his print, so we stole it)

...we also have a second event just the next night for the cult sitcom, Community, on March 3rd. We're happy to reveal the second poster in the 2012 PaleyFest series, this one by artist, Joshua Budich.



Some reminders and updates: we will be at the events selling them in the lobby of the Saban Theater.

Each is an edition of 300 in total, and the sizes vary. They are all $35 each and numbered. Last year, the PaleyFest people were very nice and let people without tickets come in once the event had started just to purchase prints, but that I can't guarantee yet. BUT, any prints left over from the event, will be put on the website the next day at gallery1988.com. The in-store Groupon that was available a few months back will not be valid for these posters, as it's not in-store. That should be it, right?

The Menagerie of N.C. Winters

Coming up next at our Venice location, is a solo show with artist N.C. Winters, and the artwork is INSANE. This show is going to be incredible. If you want to see some of the most beautiful and powerful depictions of your favorite childhood characters (TMNT, Mario, Sloth, Gizmo...) this is definitely the show for you. The work we've seen so far is stunning. N.C. will have a bunch of new paintings available at the show, as well as several new prints...



The show opens Saturday, March 10th at Gallery1988 Venice. Stay tuned for more sneak peeks as the show gets closer. And in the meantime, you can see additional sneak previews of the work on N.C.'s tumblr: http://ncwinters.tumblr.com/

See you March 10th!

SWIMMMM

We had heard rumblings that [adult swim] ran a bumper advertising out art show a few weeks back, while it was still displayed at our Melrose location, and now we have evidence! Thanks to everyone who made this, and the art show, happen!

PALEYFEST 2012!

We are so happy to be back at PaleyFest this year, as the organization asked us once again to create limited edition screenprints for the event. For those who weren't around last year, every year the Paley Center For Media here in Los Angeles produces almost two weeks of events, where your favorite TV show casts and crews get together to talk about the show and sometimes even premiere new episodes. Last year we commissioned artists to create posters and it was a huge hit. You can see all of last year's poster by CLICKING HERE.

This year we will be at 7 different events, selling the posters at the event in the lobby of the Saban Theater in Los Angeles. Last year, they let people walk in to buy a poster if you were super nice, and waited for the chaos of entrance to calm down. Here are those dates and the corresponding artist line-up:

March 2nd: American Horror Story by Daniel Danger
March 3rd: Community by Joshua Budich
March 6th: The Office by Jason Edmiston
March 7th: Sons of Anarchy by Phantom City Creative
March 10th: The Vampire Diaries by Jessica Deahl
March 13th: Mad Men by Jay Shaw
March 14th: Modern Family by Jeff Boyes

You can buy tickets still for these events, and check out the entire line-up, by CLICKING HERE. They also offer packages of different nights combined.

These posters are incredible and we can't wait to show you guys. These artists really stepped it up. Check out this blog as the dates get closer for your first looks!

NEXT UP AT MELROSE...

We couldn't be more excited to be working with Weird Al, who's been really hands-on with the curation and production of his career retrospective print set. Over the next week, we'll let you know what song/album each of these artists are doing for the set - cause that will blow your mind. And we're giddy just knowing Al will be in the house as our host on March 9th at the opening reception at G1988 (Melrose).

But even beyond that, it's that time again! Is This Thing On? 2: The Weird Year will once again have 100 artists create pieces inspired by their favorite funny people. Last year's show was one of our most popular, and from what we've seen so far - 2012 will not disappoint. Next week we will announce the artist line-up as well and we'll be debuting pieces again through our promotional partners at FunnyOrDie.com, so stayed tuned and we'll link you up.

Dare to be stupid.

TONIGHT'S DOGS!

Just a reminder that tonight, we'll be back at Jason Reitman's LACMA Live Read event, selling the newest poster from the series from artist Matt Owen. If you don't know, Jason has decided to cast an all-black group of actors to read the shooting script of Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs and, just like his past readings, it's going to be one for the ages.

The prints are 16x20 inches, limited and numbered in an edition of 100, and $30.

We will be there are 6:15, selling the posters before and after. This event is sold out, but a stand-by line will start at 6 PM. You DO NOT have to have a ticket to purchase one of the prints, so stop by and say hello.
