Pop Culture Dads BBQ

With father figures like these, you are going to be one messed up kid. Dads by Nathan Stapley for his upcoming solo show at Gallery 1988. Looking forward to seeing a larger version, but so far I can identify Marlin (Finding Nemo), Poseidon, Walter White (Breaking Bad), Clark Griswold, Darth Vader, Henry Jones, Sr., Jack Torrance, Homer Simpson, Mr. Incredible and Mrs. Doubtfire, to name a few.

The Road To Shermer: A Tribute to John Hughes

Hats By Hughes by Ben Walker

I've been posting paintings from Gallery 1988's John Hughes tribute show for the past two weeks and last night the show opened and the rest of the paintings have gone online. Here are four more of my favourites.

Cameron by Israel Sanchez

The title of the show, The Road To Shermer, refers to Shermer, Illinois, a fictitious suburb of Chicago used in several of Hughes films: Weird Science, The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Sixteen Candles, Pretty in Pink, and National Lampoon's Vacation.

25th High School Reunion by John Rozum

Other than the thinning hair, Judd Nelson looks way better in this than he did when he showed up at least year's Oscar tribute to John Hughes.
