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.

Art I Heart — Scott C

"Building with the Bowies" (I need this in my life.)

The kooky, twee-ness of Scott Campbell's work gives the dimples a workout. I love how he uses muted tones for his pop culture-influenced pieces, instead of the typical bolder, brighter hues. There's a handful of his prints over on Poster Cabaret and if you're really into "Lost" (which I am not), he's got you covered. He's doing a show in London tonight, but with any luck, the SF artist will be making the rounds on the West Coast sometime soon.

"Search for the Perfect Spot" (this one's a tribute to Bjork)

"Sky Gossip"

"The Cone Dog"

Update (3.24.10): Check out his new Tumblr page, "Great Showdowns".
