Under The Influence: A Stan Lee Tribute
Author: Stephen Gerding
January 15th, 2008
Over the weekend, The Wife™, The Daughter® and I went to see the Stan Lee tribute show at Gallery 1988 with a couple of friends. It’s the same place that hosts the I Am 8-Bit shows, which are always enjoyable, but the Lee tribute outdid anything I’ve seen there to date. With the exception of one piece that had fuckall to do with Stan Lee, comic books or superheroes, pretty much every piece on display was above average in one way or another. the oddest piece definitely had to be the painting of Magneto (Sir Ian McKellan stylee) with a posse of ducklings, while my favorite was probably the little piece of toast dreaming of becoming Spider-Toast.

I doubt it, since it’s a local comic chain sponsoring it, but it wouldn’t hurt to let them (Golden Apple) and Gallery 1988 know there’s an interest in it traveling.

For a recap of the show check out OldManMusings.com or view more event photos (with Stan Lee and the artists) on my flickr-album.
Dan Goodsell did the cute “Heroic Dreams” (Spider-Toast) piece including the ever popular Mr Toast.
