That's Why They Call Them Crushes
I'm guessing this is pop artist Audrey Pongracz's piece for Gallery 1988's upcoming John Hughes tribute show.
I had such a crush on Molly Ringwald. The opening scene of Pretty in Pink where she rolls a pink stocking up her leg, as the The Psychedelic Furs sing, permanently seared itself into my teenaged brain.

Scooby, Scooby John Hughes, Where Are You?
What if quintessential '80s teen movie director John Hughes had made an episode of Scooby-Do? Pop artist Dave MacDowell answers with Scooby Hughes, and nothing could thrill me more expect his revelation that Gallery 1988 is planning a John Hughes tribute show. That is going to be awesome!
It's funny, I love The Breakfast Club and have seen it innumerable times and yet I don't know the character's names other than John Bender (perfectly cast by MacDowell as a dog).
I see the brain (with Anthony Michael Hall's introduction to pot as Shaggy), an athlete (Emilio Estevez as Fred), a basket case (Ally Sheedy as Velma), a princess (Molly Ringwald as Daphne) and a criminal (the aforementioned Judd Nelson).
Seriously, the details are perfect in this - be sure to click through to see them. (The Breakfast Club! in "The Neo Maxi Zoom Dweebie" by Dave MacDowell)

The Vietnam War Movie Memorial
"I got to thinking about how much of our understanding of war in this country is filtered through the for-profit lens of Hollywood. And frankly, I think it’s gross. Multi-million dollar star vehicles showing us all how awful war is, but still with a slight sense of humor and a moral at the end, and the star never comes home with a permanent brain injury or a lost limb.
It’s these celluloid fantasies that help shape and sell the narrative of how we in America “understand” what’s going on in all those other countries we can’t spell properly. Many of us here don’t even personally know the name of a soldier serving now, much less one that has died in a past conflict."

So I Got That Goin' For Me, Which Is Nice
Gallery 1988 has teamed up with Funny or Die for a new show, Is This Thing On? which will feature over 100 artists creating portraits of funny people, opening January 7.In this preview, artist NC Winters takes a shot at Bill Murray, as his classic Caddyshack character.
"So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking. So, I'm on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one - big hitter, the Lama - long, into a ten-thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga... gunga, gunga-lagunga. So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, 'Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know.' And he says, 'Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness.' So I got that goin' for me, which is nice."Previously on Popped Culture...
