Johnny's new work in our current show is really outstanding. It's a shame because they aren't moving, but they are absolutely beautiful. I know it's tough right now with the economy, so if anyone is interested in his work please contact me and we can be a little flexible on the pricing. I would really love to see some of his work find homes. Here is a link to the show, where you can see all of the pieces... g1988itm.blogspot.com/Katie G1988 SF (415) 409-1376 / gallery1988SF@gmail.com

That's funny, I bought that peice off Gigposters a couple weeks ago. Not sure why it's still up. I'll have to email John to see what's up. He had two peices up at the same time and I hope he didn't send me the wrong one. I didn't like it near as much.
This is my first peice of his and if I really like it, I plan on picking up one of his smaller oils. I've never seen one in person, so I've been a little cautious. I'm surprised his stuff hasn't been selling better, but a lot of artist in that boat right now.

Hey Flannagan, Just wondered what the twelve-hour online preview is/was?

Hey Flannagan, Just wondered what the twelve-hour online preview is/was? He mailed out a preview link to anyone that requested it through the Gig Posters forum. It probably had around ten pieces (studies and oil paintings) and most of them were 60-70% less than what they were going for at his last two gallery shows. Most of it sold quickly.

hmm no wonder he gallery sales are weak just wait until he discounts them later on.... he undermines himself way too much... I agree. The move might be good to both supporters and the artist, but if it becomes a habit ,in the long term, i think galleries would shy away from featuring works since they know they wont be earning anything from it. I mean, i still prefer seeing works exhibited in the galleries than mostly online.

Damn, im pissed i didnt get to see the preview.
Im new to posting on here, but ive been lurking around for ages.
Im not a big collector and only started buying originals the last year or so, but I recently splashed out heavily (for me) and purchased 'Forest Dictator' from Gallery 1988. DAMN, the peice is literally unbelivable in the flesh. I couldnt believe it when i opened it, and the online pictures do not do his work justice.
Im not gonna pretend im an expert or anything, but to me his work is some of the best out there, and he has created a very unique world with his newer peices from the last couple of shows. I just cant believe he isnt more popular cause I think the work is killer

Evilchoy and Weekender: I believe this was a one-time deal, for his friends/supporters over at GP.
Grit: You bought "Forest Dictator"? Wow, that looks incredible. And massive.
I agree with you, about his popularity. I could easily see him blow up, though.

Yeah Forest Dictator is pretty big, its 30"x24" I thought it was special when i saw it online, but that was nothing compared to what it looks like in person. Its mindblowing! I think you get a really high standard of work for his price bracket, and he just has such a dope style.
He is bound to blow up soon. i just hope he never gets a point when i wont be able to afford stuff, cause its boder line for me now!
