Be Excellent To Each Other

"Fourscore and seven minutes ago... we, your forefathers, were brought forth upon a most excellent adventure conceived by our new friends, Bill... and Ted. These two great gentlemen are dedicated to a proposition which was true in my time, just as it's true today. Be excellent to each other. And... PARTY ON, DUDES!"

Glen Brogan's Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure piece for the Autumn Society and Gallery 1988's 3B show. Check out the other two, which are definitely not bogus.

3B: Back To The Future, Bill & Ted, Beetlejuice

The Autumn Society (which has introduced to a whole series of pop artists to me) is holding a 3B show at Gallery 1988 on May 5, paying tribute to Back To The Future, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure and Beetlejuice.

If Glen Brogan's poster for the show is any example, there is going to be some very cool art showing up over the next month.

I want a new duck

One that won't make me sick

One that won't make me crash my car

Or make me feel three feet thick

Puns and dated cultural references for the win! (Huey Lewis & Dewey by Glen Brogan)

Maybe You Can Hire The Pop Culture Team

Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the Pop Culture Team.

Glen Brogan put together the perfect stereotypical gang for Front Magazine. 'We have Peter Venkman as the ladies man, Donatello as the brains, Chewbacca as the muscle, Screech as the wild card, Dobby as the mascot, and the A-Team van as the vehicle."

Super Col. Sanders Mario

There really isn't a recipe of eleven secret herbs and spices, Col. Sanders just knocks it out of special fried chicken coin boxes and out pops the KFC. It's so obvious!

From Glen Brogan, who gives a fascinatingly detailed account of the Japanese obsession with Kentucky Fried Chicken and the meaning behind Tanooki suits.

Home Sweet Taun Taun

"This beautiful winter get-a-way may smell bad, but it will keep you warm. It comes pre-furnished, includes HD cable service, and is only a 4 hour walk from the nearest rebel base camp."

Seems like I'm on a Glen Brogan kick recently, but the man keeps hitting them out of the park. (Home Sweet Tauntaun via Splitreason)

That 90's Show

Pop artist Glen Brogan's piece, As Days Go By, for a 90s themed art show for the Autumn Society. Wow, what a strange mix of pop culture: Jessica Rabbit, Earl from Dinosaurs, Space Ghost, Egon from Ghostbusters, Kermit from Muppet Babies, Hulk Hogan, Carl Winslow from Family Matters wearing Darkwing Duck PJs. No idea what is sitting on his butt or the TV, though I'm sure its obvious to others.

Prepare To Enter... The Scary Door

"You are entering the vicinity of an area adjacent to a location. The kind of place where there might be a monster, or some kind of weird mirror. These are just examples; it could also be something much better. Prepare to enter The Scary Door."

This is pop artist Glen Brogan's piece for the Twilight Zone tribute show opening up at Gallery 1988 in May. I can't wait to see some more work from that show!

Grimace McSection

You are what you eat, apparently, or at least where you work. And now I know where all my McNuggets are stored.

From shirt.woot and designer Glen Brogan: "Grimace weighs over 540 pounds. He is only 25, but suffers from hypertension, Type II Diabetes, elevated cholesterol, gallstones, Gout, sleep apnea, and has recently suffered a mild heart attack."

Super Mario's Closet

You'd think being a simple plumber would have an easy choice when getting ready for work — put on your red shirt and toss on your blue overalls and head out. But it's not so easy for Super Mario, who's really not as simple as he appears.

From designer Glen Brogan who has submitted this as a t-shirt at Split Reason. How odd that he has Toad on his undies. (Link via Clandestine Blog)
