Your FIRST Look at Garbage Pail Kids

Our plan with the upcoming Garbage Pail Kids tribute at G1988 (Melrose) on September 2nd is to keep as many of the pieces hidden until we open the doors. We kinda just want people to be blown away and surprised at how creative our artists have gone with this show (especially those who think Garbage Pail Kids aren't that important...CAUSE THEY ARE!). We want the experience to actually speak for itself, rather than have everyone see the completed before it even opens.

But we've been getting so many emails with people hoping to catch a glimpse and figure out what the show is all about, we have to change up the plan a little. So we're going to show a few before the opening reception in 2 weeks, and today, you'll see the first...

Iron Jaiden (Jay Shaw) gives his incredible take on Garbage Pail Kids, with a gallery art show twist!

This is going to be one amazing art show.

And don't forget about the Garbage Pail Kids movie screening the next night on September 3rd at the Silent Movie Theater (Cinefamily) on Fairfax at 10 PM. We're excited to have the movie's stars Mackenzie Austin and Arturo Gil in perform for a Q & A. Buy your tickets now by clicking the picture above. We'll be there too, with some art from the show for sale as well!

GPK1988

Gallery1988 (Melrose) is proud to announce its upcoming show to kick off September, a month both gallery locations will celebrate as "Childhood Items We Miss The Most Month."

First up is an official tribute to the grossest trading card set ever produced, Garbage Pail Kids. 2 years in making, Gallery1988 will continue to be the world's #1 destinations for pop culture art, this time collaborating with a product that, in many cases, was the first instance of collectable art in our buyers' childhood lives (it was ours!).

Opening Friday September 2nd, you'll see the results when over 100 of your favorite artists were asked to create their own Garbage Pail Kids, and some may even become actual cards soon!

Produced with our friends at Topps and The Hundreds, this show will be of epic proportions. Stay tuned for more information about the show, upcoming collaborations between The Hundreds and GPK (and how you can get the first t-shirts at G1988), as well as a screening of the cinematic gem, "Garbage Pail Kids," with our pals at Cinefamily (The Silent Movie Theater) that you can attend on September 3rd!

Hope you guys have strong stomachs, because it's about to get gross.
