Gallery Nucleus has just released a new print from Scott Campbell’s latest show “Home Slice”. The print, “Cloud House”, is 24″ x 36″ 8 color print on Velvet Fine Art paper, signed and numbered in an edition of 30. The original painting was 30″ x 44″, so the print is pretty close in size. Scott gives a little audio commentary on the piece if you go here Cloud House Audio
Check it out the print, with detail shots here: Cloud House print @ Gallery Nucleus
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.
This weeks article features prints by Natalia Fabia, Dan Quintana, Scott Campbell, JR Goldberg & Dave Chung. Check it out Here

Here we go, these are the ones that are online for your viewing pleasure:
“Imaginary Friends”, a group show featuring work by Andrew Bell, Cherri Wood, Israel Sanchez, Ken Garduno, Scott Campbell & Yoskay Yomamoto at the Gallery 1988 SF is now up. The work looks amazing, and I am especially drawn to the pieces that Ken Garduno (shown) and Andrew Bell submitted. Check it out: Gallery 1988 SF
“Destination Unknown” opened up and Distinction Art, and features work by Sarah Joncas, Angelina Wrona & Patrick Fatica. It’s a good looking show, as all the work by the three artists flows together nicely. It’s very cohesive. Check it out here: Distinction Art
“The Drawing Room” a show curated by Audrey Kawasaki opened Friday at Thinkspace. There is also work by Timothy Karpinski & Robert Pokorny in the project room. I think the Drawing Room show looks great, it’s nice to be able to see some graphite work from Travis Louie (shown), as well as Audrey (shown). I hope he puts more of that kind of work in some shows.

At the Cerasoli-Lebasse Gallery, you have two shows that opened up. Jill Simonson & Scott Belcastro, as well as “Put on a Happy Face” by Nate Frizzell. All the work here looks excellent, check it out: Cerasoli-Lebasse Gallery
The Copro Nason Gallery has work by Tin, Sas Christian & Kukula for you to gawk at. Tin is getting popular very fast, no works are left to purchase. I am not super happy with Sas’ work, I am a big fan, but these pieces just don’t have the same pop to them. Check out the show here: Copro Nason Gallery
A Paper Tiger has released a new print from the recent “I Am 8 Bit” show, this new one is from Scott Campbell and is another set of Great Showdowns.
“Great Showdowns (of the 8-Bit Era)” vol. 2 features 5 mini 3″ x 5″ prints, each set limited to 30. I can see a showdown from Punch-Out, Dig Dug and ….what else do you see? These prints are really great, I love the style Scott Campbell has, he addresses my nostalgia with just the right eye candy.
The last set sold out very quickly, so don’t wait. Scott C @ A Paper Tiger
