Skeletor as Burt Reynolds
I attended the opening of the Masters of the Universe art show at Gallery 1988 in Los Angeles recently, and there was a long line of people waiting inside to get a glimpse at 100 different artists’ interpretations of He-Man, Battlecat, Skeletor, and even Orko. What was my personal favorite? The girnormous mouth of Castle Greyskull. I’m not sure if that thing was for sale or not, but that would make the coolest fireplace ever. The show runs until January 29th, so if you’re in Los Angeles, check it out. I revisited the gallery yesterday, and it was a lot less crowded. Given the monsoon levels of precipitation LA has had recently, this is a perfect rainy day activity.
Just be warned that stopping by can be hazardous to your health. I ended up picking up a Goonies Never Say Die and a Pee Wee’s Big Adventure print by Dave Perillo from their Crazy 4 Cult show back in 2009. They have a wealth of prints available from the MOTU show, and earlier stuff, so buyer beware. Your wallet has the power.

I was unable to attend living 2000 miles away but I stil bought 6 different print. That show looked awesome!
Can’t wait to check it out. I’ll be there Friday.
