We sure did.

Cuddly Rigor Mortis (Kristin Tercek)’s Shining typewriter reminds me of the Sesame Street hot-wheels typewriter, but more maniacal. This is her submission to Spoke Art’s great Stanley Kubrick show.

There are only three Robocop commandments: 1. Serve the public trust. 2. Protect the innocent. 3. Uphold the law. There might be a fourth, but I can't tell you about that. (Tim Doyle for Spoke Art's Mucho Machismo)

Another piece from Tim Doyle's show Unreal Estate, debuting at Spoke Art tonight. The previews have been amazing - can't wait to see what other shows/locations he tackles.

Tim Doyle’s solo art show Unreal Estate is debuting at Spoke Art on Feb. 2, with Doyle "playing tour guide to his favorite TV locales, from Moe's Tavern to the Bluth Banana Stand to the Seinfeld diner." Doyle's work has great detail and feel for place, so this should be a great show.

Shit! Orange Got Tagged?

"Mr. Orange dying in a 1972 Pontiac Lemans Coupe Convertible" is Tim Doyle’s tribute to Reservoir Dogs for Spoke Art's Quentin vs. Coen show. Here's part of his explanation of his inspiration from Slash Film:

"For me, the whole film is about the bond these two characters form- Mr. White and Mr. Orange. The entire caper, and all the character’s lives come undone because of the tight honor-bond that White has with Orange. Orange took a bullet in the gut and White is going to see him saved come hell or high water. It’s in this car that the seeds of destruction are sown, a pact made in a bloody hand-clasp. And damn, what a car it is. It’s a big honking chunk of US steel, and while it’s not out of place in the film stylistically, it’s a definite conscious decision on the part of the filmmakers."

For the upcoming Spoke Art Quentin vs. Coen show Seth Patrick mashed up Donny from The Big Lebowski and Mr. Pink from Reservoir Dogs, and put it on the cover of a Pink Floyd album, of course.

Which reminded me of The Darth Side of the Moon by Vincent Carrozza. (Via Distracted By Star Wars)

Silly Rabbit, Trixs Are For Kids

"This print was inspired by the Kill Bill scene where Beatrix Kiddo and Oren Iishii fight outside of the House of Blue Leaves in the style of a Japanese wood block print. You can find emblems representing each of the assassins code symbol (the Black Mamba and the Copperhead) on their kimonos. In the word boxes are phrases from the film, roughly translated into Japanese. On the left is something to the tune of “When it comes to Revenge you must time it right/be swift” and on the right is “Silly Rabbit, Tricks are for kids”.

Showdown at the House of Blue Leaves by Clint Wilson for Spoke Art's Quentin Vs Coen show.
