Dia De Los Muertos: Jim Henson

"My hope is to leave the world a little better for my having been there." — Jim Henson

Dead Jim is Alex Leighton's piece for the Autumn Society's Iconoclastic Dead show, where artists celebrate someone famous they admire that is either dead or alive in the "muertos" fashion.

Be Excellent To Each Other

"Fourscore and seven minutes ago... we, your forefathers, were brought forth upon a most excellent adventure conceived by our new friends, Bill... and Ted. These two great gentlemen are dedicated to a proposition which was true in my time, just as it's true today. Be excellent to each other. And... PARTY ON, DUDES!"

3B: Back To The Future, Bill & Ted, Beetlejuice

The Autumn Society (which has introduced to a whole series of pop artists to me) is holding a 3B show at Gallery 1988 on May 5, paying tribute to Back To The Future, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure and Beetlejuice.

If Glen Brogan's poster for the show is any example, there is going to be some very cool art showing up over the next month.
