Bad Dads 2012

The Spoke Art Gallery in San Francisco is holding their third Bad Dads art show, featuring the works of many talented artists inspired by Wes Anderson‘s films. Here are some of my favourites from this year:

There are a ton of prints and originals to choose from in this show, unfortunately, a lot of the prints have already sold out. Have a look and see if your favourite is still available here.

Who else would love to decorate their entire apartment with these fantastic movie posters?

Also: Bad Dads 2011 and 2010.

Bad Dads 2011

Since last year’s show was such a success, the Spoke Art Gallery in San Francisco is bringing you another Bad Dads series!

The gallery will feature artwork inspired by Wes Anderson’s adored films from October 29 to November 25. If you’re in town, make sure you swing by to see illustrations influenced by Fantastic Mr. Fox, The Life Aquatic, The Royal Tenenbaums, Rushmore, and Hotel Chevalier.

Which Wes Anderson movie is your favourite? Mine is probably The Royal Tenenbaums for being such a visual and auditory masterpiece!

Bad Dads 3

I don’t usually post about something three separate times, but the Bad Dads art show in San Francisco is just so right up my alley, I can’t stop!

This time, let’s look at some of the work in the show by Casey Weldon. He asked himself “what if Bill Murray played every role in every Wes Anderson movie?” The results looked like this:

See Bill pull more ‘Eddie Murphys’ here.

I just stumbled upon more pieces from the Bad Dads artshow. It looks like a really great collection! If you’re a Wes Anderson fan in San Francisco, you best take advantage and stop by to see the whole thing. (Facebook invite here).

If you’re far away from California, like me, take a look at some more pieces here.

Whenever I’m home alone on any night that doesn’t offer good television programming, I get an urge to whip out some Wes Anderson movies and giggle at the same quirks I’ve been giggling at for years now. Now that I’ve stumbled upon these posters by Kevin Tong, in his series “Bad Dads: an art show tribute to the films of Wes Anderson”, tonight is no exception.

Now all I have to decide is: Royal Tenenbaums or Rushmore?

Wes Anderson Art Show in NYC

For five years, I have been watching San Francisco’s Spoke Art Gallery put on annual Wes Anderson-themed art shows enviously. My favourite director PLUS really great art! When would I get the chance to see one??

Finally this weekend, they brought their sixth annual Wes Anderson art show to NYC at the Joseph Gross Gallery.

Needless to say, a babysitter was booked and I went to town on that show.

Such good company.

So many different mediums for appreciating the art in Wes Anderson’s movies!

I really wanted this fantastic print, but alas, it was sold out already. No matter… I bought these three instead! Also a “Deep Search” Life Aquatic ring.

I could have just moved in to this space and lived there, surrounded by so many of my favourite things.

Thanks, Spoke Art, for finally bringing your Bad Dads show to New York and giving me an indisputable reason to go out on a Friday night!
