For years and years we’ve been featuringScott C’s artwork on the site. I’m a big fan of his watercolor paintings, and my girlfriend even commissioned Scott to do a painting for my last birthday (see it here— how awesome!?). Scott has been working on his Great Showdowns series for as long as I can remember, creating artwork showcasing some of cinema’s greatest (and sometimes lesser known, cult) rivalries. Scott’s Showdowns art has been showcased/sold at many different art shows across the country, and last year Gallery1988 finally held a solo “Great Showdowns” gallery show. This year, Titan Books and Gallery 1988 will publish a book of Scott’s work titled “The Great Showdowns”. I’m very happy to exclusively premiere the cover art. More information after the jump.
The Great Showdownswill be released in October 30th 2012 and will feature a forward fromNeil Patrick Harris. Here is the full description:
