No Bigger

So last night saw the debut of Real World: Hollywood on MTV which showed off some of the art they picked up for Gallery 1988 rather nicely. PlasticGod has a ton of full body and head pieces throughout the house, including a nice stretch on the way to the bathroom that was shown a ton in the premiere. The pieces look like this for those keeping score at home:



I also peeped the Peter Gronquist Power Glove near the kitchen and the Chris Lee Crazy 4 Cult poster too! Make sure to tune into the Real World, which seems to air every 15 minutes on MTV and look for the 1988 connection, as there are a lot more pieces to be seen over the course of what seems to be a rather turbulent season.

And tonight, I will be the featured guest on Canadian radio stations CJAD and CFRB talking it up about the TOYS! exhibition. Those outside of the Great North can check it out at 11:05 PM PST (too lazy to look it up for every time zone), at either www.cjad.com or www.cfrb.com. I once visited Canada in my past lifetime as part of a music project with 50 Cent (pre-uber fame). About 15 minutes into our trip, while getting settled at the hotel, 50 cent was immediately deported by dudes in suits. It was one of the weirdest experiences of my life. Besides that, I know very little about Canada. But now I know they are interested in the TOYS! exhibit, so I'm down with it. No deportation, please.

DANG(L)ER! MTV REAL WORLD X G1988

If these names mean anything to you, we could probably be much better friends than we currently are:

Irene with Lime's Disease
Eric Nies (pre-The Grind)
Jon Brennan the Country Singer
Julie Stoffer the Mormon
Frankie with Cysitc Fibrosis (R.I.P.)

Yup, Real World Alumni. I'm a super fan. I've been geeked out since Season 1 and still actually try to catch all the episodes I can. The fact that MTV runs them every 2 hours helps.

WELL, my little dreams have come true. I can't reveal too much, but the Real World is back in Hollywood and Gallery 1988 has curated some art for the new house! Be on the lookout for PlasticGod, Chris Lee (The Crazy 4 Cult poster!), Ahren Hertel, Peter Gronquist, Kii Arens and MORE, when the new season debuts in a few months. I wanted someone to do a commission piece of Puck snorting booger rocks for their living room, but that might have been a bit too self referential. Big things for us, right?

ALSO, don't forget! No complaining to me this time. I'm giving you fair warning. The newest Crazy 4 Cult print goes on sale Friday at Noon! You can call either the LA gallery (323) 937 - 7088 or the SF gallery (415) 409 - 1376, starting at noon PST. THEY ARE ONLY 20! Lowest print run we've ever done at G1988! They really do look stunning and they shouldn't last very long at all, if you look at all our past releases.

Good luck on that one. I'll pick up the LA phone and we can talk about Julie the dancer from the NY season and Heather B. rapping "All Glocks Down."
