I don't really like the idea of L.A. but I've never wanted to be there more than now. This "gag me with a toon" gallery show looks amazing! An all star line up of artists reinterpreting our cereal-frenzied childhood idols is making me crave those cocoa frosted sugar bombs all over again. I absolutly adore the raphael featured above and check out Alex Pardees' twisted Voltron.

Weird/cool right! Ok so if you are in L.A. for the show (I hate you) then be sure to visit Melt Gallery in Hollywood, On Friday February 4th(7-11:30 pm). Check out this line up of artists!

My vote is the ninja turtles' villain Krang by H.R. Geiger!
