My Dirty Dancing sculptures are still available at @galleries1988 for their 30 Years Later show! If you're interested, make some moves across the dance floor to their site (or in person at the gallery) and pick them up! I just ask that you please don't display Baby in a corner somewhere. 😉 . #DirtyDancing #PatrickSwayze #JenniferGrey #gallery1988 #30YearsLater #sculpture #art #instaart #instaartist #artistsoninstagram

This Friday, nobody puts Baby in the corner at @galleries1988's 30 Years Later show! There were so many great movies to choose from but I decided to show some love to Dirty Dancing! Thanks to my parents, the movie and soundtracks were in constant rotation in our house and car and I couldn't help but like it too. . @jennifer_grey #DirtyDancing #gallery1988 #JenniferGrey #PatrickSwayze #art #sculpture #artistsoninstagram #instaart #instaartist

Happy 4th of July everybody! Drink to your leg! Here's a throwback to my Quint piece that started my current run of sculptures.

A very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the legendary Mel Brooks! Here's a throwback to my Spaceballs piece from 2015 that he was also kind enough to share on twitter. As a bonus, Ron Howard retweeted it! When it came out 30 years ago this week, my mom took me to see it and it was my first real introduction to his work. I remember being fascinated with the VHS cover art of Young Frankenstein when I was much younger but it took Spaceballs to get me to dive into his filmography. . #MelBrooks #Spaceballs #comedy #artistsoninstagram #illustration #instaart #instaartist #sculpture #weaintfoundshit #art

Happy 20th Harry Potter! I can't thank my wife enough for turning me onto the books and into a lifelong fan! Go Hufflepuff! Here is a piece I painted several years ago based on the film version of "The Half-Blood Prince." I still have it if anyone is interested in it. . #harrypotter #harrypotter20 #harrypotterandthehalfbloodprince #gryffindor #hufflepuff #ravenclaw #slytherin #painting #art #artistsoninstagram #illustration #instaart #instaartist

John Carpenter's "The Thing" came out 35 years ago today. Still one of my favorite horror movies and great inspiration for a couple of past pieces I've done! . #TheThing #JohnCarpenter #macready #KurtRussell #horror #80smovies #art #illustration #sculpture #instaartist #instaart #artistsoninstagram

RIP Alan Rickman! This G1988 piece from Blain Hefner was a perfect tribute to an incredible actor. He will be missed…

By Grabthar's hammer, Alan Rickman was the best.

This piece is not what I usually do art wise, but that's what Bowie's career was all about. Experimenting, getting out of your comfort zone and doing something different. Most of all, have fun doing it.

I've got a new sculpture that'll be in this show!

It’s time for the art show that spawned a million gallieres: CRAZY4CULT! The 9th annual installment opens THIS FRIDAY from 7-10 PM at G1988 (West), 7308 Melrose Ave. There are over 200 artists (!!!!) in this year’s exhibit, and it truly is shaping up to be one of the best. Paintings, prints, sculptures and plush, all inspired by your favorite movies. See where it all started this weekend!! The artwork will first be available at the opening reception, then online for purchase starting Saturday afternoon at gallery1988.com. This show will run through Dec. 5th.
Today, we’ll be debuting a handful of pieces from Crazy4Cult 9, so let’s start with this Cuyler Smith limited edition print inspired by The Sandlot. You’re killin’ me, Smalls.
