Bad Dads: A Tribute to Wes Anderson (10/30/10)

[ken]

Hey everyone!
Just wanted to give a head's up and let forum members know that I'll be curating a show for late October in San Francisco. The show is called 'Bad Dads' and is a tribute to the films of Wes Anderson (every Wes Anderson film has characters with family issues, notably father issues).

The line up so far is looking pretty epic (close to 75 artists) with some recognizable names such as Ana Bagayan, Caia Koopman, Munk One, Dave MacDowell, Kevin Tong, Burlesque Design etc. etc.

The opening is going to be Saturday, October 30th (Halloween party!), if there are any Bay Area board members, I would love to see you there and finally meet in person!

Here are the first of many pieces that have been created:

Ana Bagayan (initial sketch, painting is in progress):


Max Dalton:


Dave Greco:


Serge Gay Jr.:


Caia Koopman (og and prints will be available!) :


Lauren Gregg:


Kevin Tong (one of a series):


Tim Doyle (one of a series):

The Dave Greco is awesome. Royal Tenenbaums was the best group costume I ever did for Halloween.

Put together a preview with a bunch of new images on AM.



I agree that the Gossel piece of Zissou is amazing.

Best of luck, Ken!

That Gossel piece is amazing! And I'm so impressed that so many of the artists captured that quirky genius that makes his films so great. Great work Ken! Best of luck this weekend
