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!

3G Show Pieces

Hey, guys! Here are my 3G Show pieces. It's been awesome seeing all the incredible work being posted, I can't wait to hear the feedback from the show and from G1988. Wish I could make it out to the opening in LA, I know it's going to be a killer show.

My 3G's Pieces!

Hey dudes, Mike Bukowski here, I know I'm late in the game posting these but I just finished them up yesterday. This is also my first post on here so feedback would be much appreciated.

So, I tried to tie all my pieces together by drawing a character mentioned in each movie that's not actually in each movie. I should also say Gremlins is one of my favorite movies of all time and NOT drawing a Gremlin was one of the hardest artistic decisions I've ever had to make.

First up Ivo Shandor from Ghostbusters. I love the hints of mythology thrown out in that movie. Tobin's Spirit Guide, The Spate's Catalog, and this guy...


"The architect's name was Ivo Shandor. He was also a doctor. Performed a lot of unnecessary surgery. And then in 1920 he started a secret society: Gozer worshippers. After the First World War, Shandor decided that society was too sick to survive And he wasn't alone. He had close to a thousand followers when he died. They conducted rituals up on the roof, bizarre rituals intended to bring about the end of the world, and now it looks like it may actually happen!"

Next up: Mr. Beringer. The scene in Gremlins where Kate describes her father's accidental death was one of the scariest/saddest thing in the movie for me as a child and even now. Apparently the studio fought hard to have it removed and up until it's release date, Warner Brothers had two versions of the film ready to ship out, one with and one without.

"Me and Mom were decorating the tree...waiting for Dad to come home from work. A couple hours went by. Dad wasn't home. So Mom called the office. No answer.Christmas Day came and went, and still nothing. So the police began a search. Four or five days went by. Neither one of us could eat or sleep. Everything was falling apart. It was snowing outside. The house was freezing, so I went to try to light up the fire. That's when I noticed the smell. The firemen came and broke through the chimney top. And me and Mom were expecting them to pull out a dead cat or a bird. And instead they pulled out my father. He was dressed in a Santa Claus suit.He'd been climbing down the chimney...He was gonna surprise us. He slipped and broke his neck.He died instantly. And that's how I found out there was no Santa Claus."

Lastly, One Eyed Willie is my favorite dude from Goonies....
"Hi Willie. Oh, I'm Mike Walsh. You've been expecting me, haven't you? Well I made it. I beat you. I got here in one piece... so far. So... that's why they call you "One-Eyed Willie"... One-Eyed Willie...We have a lot in common, huh, Willie? You know something, Willie? You're the first Goonie. Yo. Hi guys. How's it going? This is Willie... One-Eyed Willie. Say hi, Willie. Those are my friends... the Goonies. How long have you guys been standing there?"
There you go! Hope you guys like 'em. All the stuff I've seen for the show so far is amazing! I'm pumped to be a part of it!

3D 3G pieces!

Here are my pieces for the fantastic 3G show! These were a fun experiment for me, I made them into layered paintings, so they are basically 3D paintings, which unfortunately means trying to photograph them was really difficult. They have to be seen in person to get the full effect. Basically, i painted the foreground on a sheet of glass, separated by about an inch or so above the background. So try and picture it in 3D!

Ghostbusters! The best scene of the movie, and possibly one of the creepiest scenes of all time.
The 3D part: the drawers coming out, and the cards flying around are all raised above on the glass.

Goonies! Sloth's first appearance in the movie.
The 3D part: Sloth in his chains is painted on the raised glass

Gremlins! My favorite scene is in the movie theater, when they're watching Snow White and making a huge mess.
The 3D part: The biggest gremlin on the left, buckets and popcorn flying and being flung in the air are all painted on the raised glass. This one especially is best in person. I think the depth really helps the feel of the theater and the crazy amount of chaos going on.

I really, really wish you could get the full effect in the images, but since you can't, go see the show and tell me how they look! I encourage you to visit my blog to read more about why I chose each scene, as well as photos of each individual layer of each painting. Please visit my blog! I think it will help to see the process to "see" my pieces better. Everyone's pieces are amazing, I'm very excited to be a part of this!

Fondle does 3G

Below are my 3G submissions. The process was fun, and it had changed a a bit for me while working on them. (Pardon my scans, my scanner is starting to show it's age.)
"The Gluttonous Demon"

For starters, every piece was going to metal music related, and then when I drew up Slimer as Gene Simmons (The Demon), I figured I could just have a little fun with it further. But after drawing the rest out, I wasn't feeling it, and ultimately, scrapped the idea, but kept the Slimer idea. He's got that tongue and could probably shred a mean axe when he was alive. Maybe.

"In order to survive a war, you gotta become war..."

I used to watch Gremlins 2 a lot when I was younger, and every time seeing him as John Rambo just got me so excited.
"Best Bros. for Life"

Nothing did I love more when I was a kid was this duo's unique, or rather, odd partnering.

3G Goonies

Here's my Goonies piece for the show. I've included a couple process shots as well. Thanks for the invite, Joe! The others are in progress.

Goonies

Hey again folks... trying to pump these out while I have a bit of time, so here is my Goonies piece. Not a big fun concept on this one, I just went with something that was fun to draw. I had a fun idea but when you see the Gremlins piece you'll see why I decided against it, I can't have all three pieces taking place in a completely destroyed room.... thats just overkill. Take it easy
