Scott Campbell has new prints for sale over at the Poster Cabaret. There is a large amount of prints available, in various sizes all for around $30-40 each. The prints are limited and it looks as though a few of them are already sold out. I was thinking about getting the “Keeping them at bay” print (shown first) but it’s now sold out. I waited too long.

At age 50 the man known as the King of Pop passed away this June 25th in Los Angeles. It was just hours earlier that Farrah Fawcett passed and Ed Mcmahon the day prior. An 8 year old Creep could be found running around the house with a little sparkly glove on (and matching socks) waiting for MTV to play Thriller again. Not only was the song amazing, but was one of the main reasons I am so hooked on zombies and wanted to be a special effects artist. That whole album was amazing, and pretty much everyone had a copy whether they admit it or not. Even Weird Al’s “Beat It” spoof was great, simply because it came off more like a tribute than many of his other spoofs. The latter part of Michael’s life was riddled with controversy, trials, surgeries and and endless supply of rumors.
But this site is not about all of that, its about art. So here are a few paintings that celebrate the contributions of a musician that was undeniably talented, was the template of many musicians to follow and is still responsible for rhythmless people everywhere to try and moonwalk, but still have fun dancing to songs that will never get old.

Opening this Thursday, June 11th at the Supreme Broship Gallery in London is a duo show with Jim Mahfood (Food One) and Scott Campbell (Scott C). The show is now online to view and looks great. The cool thing about this show, is that a large amount of the work are collaborations between Scott and Jim, as seen below. Then there are the solo pieces from both artists making this one big exhibition. Take a look at the preview pics here, and then head on over to view the whole lot.

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

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.
