Wissbegierde: Crazy person for Pee Wee

Alexa from Pop Elegantiarum here. As JA mentioned, it's been 25 years since Pee-Wee's Big Adventure came out to mediocre reviews. Whether you love it or hate it, today it is inarguably a cult classic. Judd Apatow is even rumored to be pulling the strings on the new Pee-Wee movie Paul Rubens is writing (um, interesting). And at this year's Crazy 4 Cult, the annual exhibit of art inspired by cult films at Gallery1988 in Los Angeles, Pee-Wee was one of the most heavily represented subjects. This year's show runs through July 30th. What follows are some of the more interesting Pee-Wee portraits from the show's four years, in honor of his big screen anniversary.Dave Perillo"Pee-Wee's Big Adventure" board game giclee pr! int on archival paper signed and numbered edition of 5016 x 20 inchesDanielle Rizzolo"I'm A Loner, A Rebel" oil on board, frame has engraved plate reading, "Property of Pee-Wee Herman" 13 x 16 inchesBen Strawn "Pee-Wee" mixed media on layers of plexiglass 12 x 21.5 inches, framedKennis Chow"PEE-W!!!"acrylic on wood24 x 18 inchesChan Koak"Pee-Wee's Morning"acrylic on panel11 x 14 inchesSarah Soh "Where'd You Go?" gouache, 11 x 14 inches
