Here’s a preview of some of the lovely creations from Kathie Olivas’s upcoming gallery show, Bittersweet. Bittersweet will open at G1988: SF on February 29. Cute and kind of creepy-looking all at the same time. And see the wonderful characters from her paintings realized in three-dimensional form, as she paints oil on epoxy resin sculptures.

I was having a semi-crappy day (mac problems + pushed-up deadlines… don’t say anything about my mac, Penguin), so this was a cool surprise. I got an email letting me know that I was 1 out of 8 who got all the cult references correct for the Crazy 4 Cult contest put out by Gallery 1988.
While I didn’t win this:
Top row – Michael Rapaport (True Romance, Higher Learning, etc.), Samuel L. Jackson (Pulp Fiction, Snakes on a Plane, everything), Richard Kelley (writer/director of Donnie Darko)
Bottom row – Edgar Wright (writer/director of Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz), Scott Mosier (producer of Clerks, Mallrats) and Kevin Smith (writer/director of Clerks, Mallrats, etc.)
I scored one of these instead:
I won’t know which one ’til they ship it to me.
Thanks, Jensen! =P

Can you name all the cult references in this poster? If so, email gallery1988@aol.com. The winner gets a signed version of the poster by Chris Lee (and maybe one of the icons seen on the poster will sign it too).
