The Great Showdowns Memory Lane Experience

To celebrate the Great Showdown Original Art Auction going on right now, I wanted to walk down memory lane with all of you! The first Great Showdown paintings debuted in the first few Crazy 4 Cult shows at Gallery 1988, but the first solo exhibition collecting 200 of them came to Gallery 1988 in 2011 called simply The Great Showdowns.

And this is how it went:

2011 - The Great Showdowns

The maiden voyage of the Great Showdowns as their own experience. We started the 20 unlabeled showdowns the night of the opening for trivia and I painted Shaun of the Dead for the winner.

2012 - Return of the Great Showdowns

Surprisingly, another 200 Showdowns the following year. This was also the debut of the first book collection called “The Great Showdowns”. I painted Back to the Future 2 for the trivia winner live at the gallery.

2014 - Revenge of the Great Showdowns

This was first year of the Scavenger Hunt where I hid paintings around Los Angeles during the lead up to this show. This was also the debut of the second collection in book form entitled “Return of the Great Showdowns”. The new location of Gallery 1988 was right next to a bar, so I was able to hang out with everyone who lined up the days leading up to the opening to enjoy beverages and paint portraits. It was a wonderful time.

2020 - Legend of the Great Showdowns

This was perhaps the last time any of us were able to hang out with other human beings in person for a while since the world locked down a week later. I had a bunch of gatherings planned for the duration of this show that we had to do virtually in our locked down homes. We had large toys at this show for the first and only time. I was able to paint Pitch Perfect at the gallery for the trivia winner before we locked down.

2024 - Rise of the Great Showdowns

The return to hanging with actual people in person!  This show was at Gallery 1988’s pop up space. 

Thank you so much for your support all these years. Thank you, Gallery 1988! AND DON'T FORGET! The auction is going on in the Scott C Shop of Showdown paintings from these past exhibitions (except 2024)! Auction ends this Sunday, March 30th!

I LOVE YOU ALL!

Cabin Head and Tree Exclusive Cover Reveal and Q&A!

I am so excited and honored to share with you the big cover reveal and first review of Cabin Head and Tree Head from superstar librarian Betsy Bird at School Library Journal! We also have a chat. It’s starts with an opening paragraph that says the nicest things I have ever seen written about my work. I feel very thankful. Thank you so much, Betsy!

“There are some books that you read and midway through you realize that you are reading for the very first time a title that will now be counted amongst your favorites for the rest of your life. That was my experience reading Cabin Head and Tree Head. Now it’s not coming out until September 16th, but I’m excited about this book NOW so NOW we will talk about it!”

Looking forward to revealing more and more about Cabin Head and Tree Head until its release this Fall!!! Prepare yourselves for some very good HEAD TIMES coming to you in the year 2025!
