Beastie Boys- "Intergalactic Elementary"

Here's the painting I put in for the Beastie Boys artshow at gallery 1988 LA!

This show consists of 100 artists and pays tribute to this culture icon. As I've described in the sketch, I called upon my childhood memories for inspiration. If only I got to hang with the Beastie Boys in elementary school!

The opening reception is this Thursday, 1/8 from 7-11pm, but will run for the entire month of January. No guarantee the Boys will be there, but I've got my fingers crossed ;)

Hope to see you there!
