Running The Show: A Muppet Show Diorama for Gallery1988
Kermit is focused. He pores over the running order for the show. Big celebrity host tonight, he hopes the dressing room is prepped. He may have to cut an act or two for time, maybe talk to Fozzie about some of his weaker material.
Beware The Fly!
It’s October, and Gallery 1988 is hosting a horror exhibit called Cover Your Eyes, celebrating horror films of the classic and modern eras. Michelle and I contributed Beware The Fly! — a piece inspired by a couple of our favorite monster bug movies of the 1950s.
A Bear Walks Into an Art Gallery…
The latest Gallery1988 show is called Off The Leash and it celebrates all of our favorite non-human characters in pop culture. Scooby Doo, Kermit the Frog, Wilbur the Pig, Chewbacca, Cujo, Rocket Raccoon, and more. A great theme and a perfect fit for a piece Michelle and I have been wanting to do for a while: Fozzie Bear, up on stage at a show, absolutely killing it.
Muppets Diorama: Tribute To An Underrated Gem
I don’t know what we were all doing In 2015 that was so darned important, but a good portion of us decided to not watch The Muppets, and thus we’re to blame for its cancellation after only one year. This week’s Muppet diorama is our attempt to make up for our part in that.
The Monster Walks: Another Gallery1988 Exhibit
Frankenstein’s monster has risen from the slab once again, and Michelle and I have only ourselves to blame. Well, maybe Gallery1988 should shoulder some of the blame, because this mixed-media Son of Frankenstein diorama is part of their current show, The Golden Age of Hollywood.
Our First Gallery1988 Group Show: 25 Years Later
A few months ago, I told Michelle that I’d like the opportunity to show work at Gallery 1988, one of the most talked about pop culture galleries in California. Michelle looked at me like I was nuts. Full disclosure, she always looks at me that way. Maybe she’s right. Doesn’t matter. We managed to get a spot in Gallery 1988’s current show, so who’s crazy now?
