Hanging on to strains of green and blues...
Hello internet. My name is Andrew Wilson. I was recently invited to join the awesome artists here at the Autumn Society for their Goonies show. Thanks Autumn Society and Drake Brodahl for the introduction.
The last time I watched the movie I wept because I realized that I never got to be a Goonie or explore a cave with treasure when I was young enough to be excited by it. Now I'm old enough to make a Goonie, and if I ever get to hook up with Andy, well, now I'd go to prison. (Actually that doesn't make sense because she's aged with me, but you get the point.)
Enough words. Enjoy the artwork. If you wander over to my blog I have the process of this painting.
I hope I meet your unspoken expectations and ideals you used to play with.
(I also hope you get all the Cyndi Lauper references in this post.)

THIS IS OUR TIME NOW (GOONIES RE-SUBMITTED & REMEMBERED)
As much as I am excited for our upcoming SHELL-SHOCK show, I'm also very excited for our Goonies, THIS IS OUR TIME NOW show at LUNAR BOY GALLERY in Astoria, OR. To me this is the ultimate Goonies art gallery & tribute experience, since Astoria is the town where Goonies was filmed (1984-1985), not to mention that the town folk love and promote the Goonies all year long! What more can you ask for?
I wanted to re-share with you my Goonies (8 arms to hold you) piece above from Crazy For Cult 4 @ Gallery 1988. A lot of the pieces for this upcoming show will be re-submissions from our 3G Show, but also expect some new ones from new artists that have joined our ship in the last year.
June is sure to be a hit month for us with TMNT & Goonies going back to back in completely different coasts, we can't lose! Below are some pictures of my Goonies pilgrimage I made last year in Astoria & Cannon Beach, OR. Oregon has a lot to offer and I definitely plan on going back! I recommend the trip to Astoria to any Goonies fan, you won't regret it!

Eight Arms To Hold You...
This is my piece for Gallery 1988's upcoming Crazy 4 Cult show in LA. I wanted to pay tribute to one of my all time favorite movies from 1985, the Goonies. Above you will find your favorites like Mikey, Data, Chunk, and Mouth. I also wanted to reference a deleted scene from the movie involving an octopus... All in all, I hope its good enough....
The show premiere will Friday night, hosted by Kevin Smith. Show coverage & video coming soon! Click on the postcard below for more info:
