CRAZY 4 CULT II RECAP

08.25.08

By: Josh Holland

On Friday night Gallery 1988 opened the second annual “Crazy 4 Cult” show, hosted by infamous film director Kevin Smith. The show’s theme centers around a list of films affectionately known as cult classics, and features artists as varied as the films they represented. Some notable participants include Shepard Fairey, Jim Mahfood, Chet Zar, Plasticgod, Reuben Rude, Camilla D’Errico and Shannon Bonatakis. I did not have the pleasure of attending, but the show can be seen online in its entirety HERE.

Smith made sure to snatch up every single piece that featured his film alter ego Silent Bob, hopefully not to look at himself, but to support those artists that have supported his film career all these years… Yup, that’s what I’m going with. Love me some smodcast. Rumor has it that Weird Al will be hosting next year, look for UHF to dominate.

The following are some snippets of my favorite pieces from this show. Enjoy!

JIM MAHFOOD > BILLY DEE WILLIAMS

By: Josh Holland

I’ve been a fan of Jim Mahfood for years (thanks Ottocon), but to be perfectly honest I haven’t been keeping up for a bit.  Shannon spotted his work in the new Colt45 campaign and sent it my way.  Needless to say, I was super impressed with their new aesthetic, 100% Jim Mahfood illustration!  On top of their awesome new artist series packaging, they’re running a design contest for the next Colt45 can.

Going back to Food’s site I was pleasantly suprised to find some brand new work and it’s some of his best to date.  Check him out. My recommendation to everyone is to go drink some shitty beer while ogling the cans and cruising his website.  Mahfood’s art might actually make Colt45 taste good!  This is what we in the industry call frosting on a shit cake.  Good ass frosting though.
