This Friday, the 5th annual Crazy 4 Cult art show opens in Los Angeles at Gallery 1988. The show is a celebration of cult movies and pop culture. For a movie geek like me, this is an absolute must-see. I’ve included a few examples below to show what the show will be like, but it is definitely worth checking out in person if you have the chance. You can find more information about it at www.Gallery1988.com.
Crazy 4 Cult Art Show
Fantagraphics Books
I escaped LA for a week and spent time relaxing in Seattle with some of my favorite people. On the way to the airport, we made a spontaneous stop at Fantagraphics Books, a place I never heard of before. They describe themselves as a publisher of “comics for thinking readers – readers who like to put their minds to work, who have a sophisticated understanding of art and culture, and appreciate personal expression unfettered by uncritical use of cliché.” So, if you’re looking to read bland, mainstream superhero comics, you won’t find them there.
