If you spend any time at all on our site, you know what fans we are of Gallery1988, the pop culture-obsessed Los Angeles art gallery. For years now, their rotating collection of solo shows and themed exhibitions have sprung from their signature show: Crazy4Cult, in which their rogues' gallery of artists create new works from classic cult movies. The 13th edition (spooooooky) of the exhibition opened last weekend, featuring clever illustrations inspired by the likes of The Big Lebowski, Blue Velvet, The Lost Boys, Pee-Wee's Big Adventure, and (of course) The Rocky Horror Picture Show; we picked out a few of our faves to share with you here, but you can see more (and there are many more), and purchase them as well, on their site.
