These pop culture villains '80s albums by Rocky Davies are so in this blog's wheelhouse I'm shocked to discover that I didn't comission them, let alone not having found them until today.

Let's Go Do Some Crimes
You cannot go wrong with a Repo Man reference. Also, I can't believe this is my first Repo Man post in all these years. I have been remiss. From 100% Soft (Truck Torrence’s) Lil MacGuffins show at Bottleneck Gallery. Be sure to check out the other nine.

Star Wars High
What if Star Wars didn't happen a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, but in the '80s, at a high school? Denis Medri's character redesigns will transport you there, where the Millenium Falcon is a classic Trans AM, Luke looks like Marty McFly's brother and Yoda is the wise coach. Awesome.

Boba Fett VS Road Runner

The Cheers Intelligence Graph
I agree with this chart wholeheartedly, but Cliff Clavin just below Diane? "Who are three people who have never been in my kitchen?" I rest my case (Dan Meth: #18 in a series of pop-cultural charts)

It's Astro Mega Robo Iron Gadget Prime Time Fools!
"Just thought I'd take some of meh fav 80's cybernetic and robotic characters and temporarily team them up for no apparent reason other than kicking a multitude of ass," says kizer180. I support this kind of random pairing and demand more of it, internet!

Bloom County: To Russia With Love
Dismayed that there has never been a Bloom County movies (what's up with that, Berkeley Breathed?), Jesse J. Barboza went ahead and created a plot and poster, featuring the whole cast:
"I began kicking around a plot idea similar to the 1984 anti-Commie "classic" Red Dawn - something like the Ruskies invade Milo's Meadow and all hell breaks loose. But then I built on it even further with the idea that the Russians kidnap former Communist defector Bill the Cat, and it's up to the residents of the Bloom Boarding House to bring him back in one piece."

1.21 Gigawatts? Great Scott!
Phantom City Creative's poster for a screening of Back to the Future at the TIFF Bell Lightbox, as part of a series of '80s cult classics, showing this Saturday afternoon. Right in my own backyard - I need to pay more attention. (via Reelizer)

Pretty In Pink, Isn't She?
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:

Gary & Wyatt's Guide To Actually Making A Girl
If Anthony Michael Hall was able to conjure Kelly LeBrock out of a computer in 1995, why can't I do the same on my laptop in 2011? Get on that, Internet!
Actually Making a Girl, by Dave Perillo. Inspired by Weird Science, for Gallery 1988's upcoming John Hughes tribute show. (Link via Clutch Blog)

John Candyland: The Sweet Little Game With The Big Laughs
Another great piece from Galley 1988's Is This Thing On? I hope Ian Glaubinger displays a bigger version soon as I'd love to see all the details, but just the references to Stripes and Spaceballs is enough to keep me happy for now.
The Ultimate Video Game Party
This reminds so much of my gaming days. No, not all the characters, but sitting and watching other people play. From Rachel Morris' cool series of video game posters for The NYU Game Center. (Link via Rampaged Reality)

I Love It When A Menagerie Comes Together
I can't resist an A-Team parody, and a hyena as "Howling Mad" Murdock is inspired. Vote now for The Animal Team by Bocognani Florent, over at Threadless. (Link via Super Punch)

Never EVER Feed Them After Midnight
With Mogwai's being such potentially dangerous creatures, you want to be sure people understand the dangers involved, no matter what their language.
Tom Whalen, above, in infographic form and Scott Derby, below, in tattoo style make sure everyone knows the rules:
1. Don't get him wet.
2. Keep him away from bright lights.
3. Don't ever feed him after midnight
Both are from the September Gallery 1988 3G show inspired by the 80's classics Ghostbusters, Goonies and Gremlins.

Strawberry Shortcake Felds Forever
Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see.
It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out.
It doesn't matter much to me.
What would make Strawberry Shortcake so sad? And I'm assuming that is jam not blood streaming down her cheeks, otherwise this would be way too creepy. (strawberry fields forever by Audrey Pongracz)

The Creation of Mario
Video games will never be art? Take that, Roger Ebert! Of course I really didn't need to see Mario naked, but at least he has a digitized leaf so I don't need to scrape the entirety of my brain.
Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto gives life to his Nintendo creation in TsaoShin's homage to Michelangelo's The Creation of Adam. (Link via Neatorama)
