Paul Scheer, that wacky comedian who kicked off all this DamonCarltonandaPolarBear art stuff, has resurfaced here at the end of the story to announce that all 16 pieces are being shown at “The Lost Underground Art Show” at Gallery1988 in Los Angeles, December 15th through the 24th. Since the 16th and final piece has yet to be revealed, we can assume that it will either be shown to us online before the 15th, or this L.A. art show will serve as its official unveiling.
Note that Scheer’s message (below) also adds that 25 new pieces inspired by Lost and created by various artists will also be on display. Presumably these pieces were not chosen to be a part of the official series of 16 frames, but the DCaaPB crowd felt they were worth including in the art show as a little something extra. Likewise, the DCaaPB website promises plenty of surprises for Lost fans, so if you live in L.A., this is definitely something you’ll want to check out!
Gallery1988 will open on the 15th at 7:pm and be open for viewing until 10:pm that night. Following the opening, the gallery will be open Tuesdays through Saturdays from 11:am to 6:pm, and Sundays from 12:noon to 5:pm.
Were those 4-toed statues in the box? I think they might have been.
It also sounds like the extra art work are going to be paintings and not prints so these are new pieces, not prints that didn’t get accepted.
Well, I am in Seattle, hmmm…

All of the prints started as paintings or drawings. Isn’t a “print” defined as a copy of an original artwork?

No. A print is a completely different process than a painting and going about the trouble to make a painting to ultimately change it into a print makes no sense. In other words, one is not easily transferable into the other. You either make a painting or you make a print. I have been painting for 20yrs and if I was going to make a piece of art for this collection I absolutely would not create a painting knowing they would be released as prints. Yes, many artist would make multiples of a given series and generally start them out as drawings, but that was usually only if you planned on doing a huge series on a theme.
Now, in the end, this could just all be semantics with Paul. He might be using the word painting as interchangeable with print.
