The latest cult themed group show, “Idiot Box” opens at the Gallery 1988 in Los Angeles tonight. This new show is all about the television, so you will see work about shows that we grew up with as well as shows that are melting our brains right now.

The show looks petty good, there seems to be a large amount of artists that focused on ALF and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I was happy to see some shows such as “Twilight Zone” as done by Ken Garduno, Scott Campbell did a great mashup of “Greatest American Hero” and the “A-Team”. Marcus Shaefer (shown) did one of the creepiest “Ren & Stimpy” themed works I have seen so far.

Take a look at some of my favorites, and then head on over to check out the whole show. There is a quite a bit of prints available from the works, and I know that during he reception Gelaskins will be giving away skins of Alex Pardee’s painting as well as all sorts of goodies.

Tonight at the Gallery 1988 in Los Angeles the show “Cover Band” opens. The show features work by a whole host of killer artists, each one interpreting an LP cover. It’s a pretty cool idea and I always love seeing what these artists can do when given a specific topic, or something to work from such as the “Paint by Numbers” show.

There are some really great artists in this show, such as Shannon Bonatakis (shown), Josh Callaway, Joshua Clay, Tom Haubs, Ken Garduno, Alex Pardee, Andrew Hem and many others. The work from the show is up online as we speak. Head on over and take a look.
