Ghostbusters 30th Anniversary Art Tour

Who you gona call when you need to celebrate Ghostbusters 30th anniversary with a multi-city art tour?? Gallery1988 of course! Theyve handpicked 70 artists to make original work, as well as limited prints/shirts, that will travel over the next few months from: New York, to Los Angeles, then Chicago, and will end up at San Diego Comic Con.

There are a ton of great moments and iconic imagery to choose to highlight from this movie. The devil dogs were almost a given for me, since they creeped me out as a kid. Gozer is also pretty impactful, especially for only being on screen for a few short minutes.


I wanted the frame to be distinctly themed to the movie as well. I took some architectural elements from the building in the final scene, and pieced it together from about 60-70 pieces of handcut wood, then finished it off with a faux-stone paint job.







"Should Have Said Yes" - 8" diamond, acrylic on canvas, handmade frame


The show is currently showing in NY until April 26, and then will move on to the subsequent cities. The schedule can be found at Ghostbusters30th.com.

Total Recall piece for Crazy4Cult in NY

Gallery1988s Crazy 4 Cult is back on the East Coast this year in a limited week(ish) viewing from Dec 13 - 21! Also, on Dec 15 there will be a signing for the Crazy4Cult Book 2 which my 'They Live' piece is featured in. The pop-up location will be at: 355A Bowery New York City, NY 10003.

This year I wanted to pay tribute to my absolute favorite action star, Arnold Schwarzenegger
I could pretty much watch anything Arnold did and find it hilarious and incredibly entertaining. Case in point: 


The piece comes from 'Total Recall'. 



It is duel-layered with the 'mask' face raised by varying degrees. 





Big Surprise - 9x12 acrylic on wood

Im sure the show will be a crazy huge success, just like last years.
Ill be at the opening as well as signing.
