Keeping the hits coming back to back, Gallery 1988 in LA has just opened their new group show TOYS!. The show is full to bursting with a plethora (800 verbal on my SAT, bitches) of artists reimagining all the toys you know and love from hiding in your room when your parents were fighting. Not only that, but there are some life-sized hot wheels for you to drool over along with some mini, tricked out, V-Dub busses. I mean it when I say that this might be 1988’s best show ever. And yes, I am taking into account all three I Am 8-Bit shows. What would I have painted? I’m glad you asked. I would’ve done a piece featuring me and all my lego guys hanging out, but the Lego guys would be the size of adults, and we would be at a waterpark. That’s pretty much how I always saw them. Those dudes were my first posse.

You can view all the works for sale in the show over here, and some setup shots right here.
