L.A. Escapes — "Revenge of the Great Showdowns" Exhibit

One of Scott C.'s "Great Showdowns."

I professed my Scott C. love a few years back. And I'm hardwired to over-geek out over '80s/'90s nostalgia, due to my being a member of whichever generation letter it is that claims 1977 babies. So, Scott's upcoming "Revenge of the Great Showdowns" exhibit dovetails quite neatly with my interests.
























His Showdown series features film adversaries depicted in his signature smiley watercolor style. I love how he's not afraid to get arcane wit' it "Eagle vs. Shark"? "Broken Flowers"? "Watership Down"? All there. And everything bears a charming grin — from Harold and Kumar's tray of burgers, to the ghoul outside John Lithgow's airplane window (and the window, too!).




There will be a couple hundred of his hilarious showdown pieces available for sale and the artist will be on-hand to sign books and thangs. I'm crossing my fingers for a chance to pick up Cameron for myself...



...and, maybe, Emmet & Crew for the playroom.




The show opens at retro-obsessed Gallery1988 (West) this Friday, July 11, 7-10pm.
