Don't you forget about me. Seems like fans of Firefly won't. From artist Kari Fry: "It was a tough call, but I had to make it a direct reference to The Breakfast Club poster, which is five characters. I thought about shoehorning more characters in, but I needed to stay true to the iconic original"

Etsy shop weelittlestitches, who believe "in a world where cross stitch doesn't have to be boring or old-fashioned," have created some amazing patterns of superheroes, movies and TV shows that almost made me wish I had a hobby. Or skills. (Link via pacalin)

The Road To Shermer: A Tribute to John Hughes

Hats By Hughes by Ben Walker

I've been posting paintings from Gallery 1988's John Hughes tribute show for the past two weeks and last night the show opened and the rest of the paintings have gone online. Here are four more of my favourites.

Cameron by Israel Sanchez

The title of the show, The Road To Shermer, refers to Shermer, Illinois, a fictitious suburb of Chicago used in several of Hughes films: Weird Science, The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Sixteen Candles, Pretty in Pink, and National Lampoon's Vacation.

Other than the thinning hair, Judd Nelson looks way better in this than he did when he showed up at least year's Oscar tribute to John Hughes.

Oh Molly, will you ever end up with a boy that's right for you? I mean, of course not, the '80s are long gone, but Dave MacDowell perfectly captures her pining for the upcoming John Hughes tribute show at Gallery 1988.

And here's the Psychedelic Furs to get you in the proper mood:

The Breakfast Club Vs. The Archies

The Breakfast Cereal Club

Scooby, Scooby John Hughes, Where Are You?

What if quintessential '80s teen movie director John Hughes had made an episode of Scooby-Do? Pop artist Dave MacDowell answers with Scooby Hughes, and nothing could thrill me more expect his revelation that Gallery 1988 is planning a John Hughes tribute show. That is going to be awesome!

It's funny, I love The Breakfast Club and have seen it innumerable times and yet the character's names outside of John Bender (perfectly cast by MacDowell as a dog).

I see the brain (with Anthony Michael Hall's introduction to pot as Shaggy), an athlete (Emilio Estevez as Fred), a basket case (Ally Sheedy as Velma), a princess (Molly Ringwald as Daphne) and a criminal (the aforementioned Judd Nelson).

Seriously, the details are perfect in this - be sure to click through to see them. (The Breakfast Club! in "The Neo Maxi Zoom Dweebie" by Dave MacDowell)

The Breakfast Club Vs. The Archies

"The Breakfast Club done in the Archie’s style. They could have kept the whole John Hughs universe running in monthly books available on newstands everywhere. But they didn’t."

Brian McLachlan imagines a world where movies live on past the final credits, including The Goonies, Mad Max, Red Dawn and below, Heathers done in the style of Little Lulu. (Link via Neatogeek)
