So I’ve been blathering about this in person, but I wanted to post here. There’s another super cool show coming up at Gallery1988, and (drum roll please) I have a couple of pieces in it. Yep, my very first gallery showing; it’s a group show, but still, and it’s a cool ass group show at a cool ass gallery. The show is all art based on the Beastie Boys, can you believe it?
The conversation, when they asked me to participate went a little like this:
Gallerist: So I’ve seen your work and it’s pretty cool. I was thinking we’d invite you into a group show.
Me: (acting cool, but not pulling it off) Oh, great. Do you know any themes of shows for the next six to nine months?
Gallerist: Yeah, I just got off the phone with Adam Yauch and we’ve got final permission to do a Beastie Boys show.
Me: Beastie Boys??
Gallerist: Yeah, but I can’t promise they’ll be here.
Me: THEY’LL BE HERE??
Gallerist: I said I can’t promise…
So I made two pieces. The first is a needlepoint of Cookie Puss, in honor of their first 12″. Framed the piece is 12″x15″
Here’s a detail shot:
The other piece is a straight up portrait of the BBoys; framed it’s 11″x11″.
And here’s a detail shot:
The opening is this Thursday night, January 8th, from 7-11pm at Gallery 1988, 7020 Melrose Ave, 90038, and the show runs through the 29th. Hope to see you there.

Those are incredible, unlike the one Paul has somewhere of Ellen, which is terrifying 😀
