Cool Stuff: Dapper Dan’s Back to the Future and Ghostbusters Art

Posted on Wednesday, May 20th, 2009 by Peter Sciretta

Canadian animator Dapper Dan has created this awesome Back to the Future fan art, titled “Do Not Open Until 1985″, for the Autumn Society of Philadelphia’s 80’s Pop! Gallery show in June. Anyone who reads the site knows I’m a Back to the Future fanatic, and this piece perfectly captures the Twin Pines Mall scene from the first film. I wish Dan was selling prints of this thing… I really love his animated-style. Dan has made the art available as a computer desktop background.

See the full piece after the jump, as well as a couple amazing Ghostbusters-inspired pieces.

Here are a few pieces of Dan’s Ghostbusters-inspired artwork.

Check out more of his after on his Deviant Art profile. Thanks to /Film reader Ender for the tip.

This is beyond cool! I would love to get them as prints too. He should consider doing that one day. He would get tons of money

I would like to buy prints as well but I'm pretty sure the copyright owners would have something to say about it...

this looks like it would be a great cartoon series!

True, but there's no way the cartoon series would look this cool. They'd likely dump the awesome style for cheapness and the f-up the whole thing.

Any studio capable of putting the money in to keep this level of quality probably wouldn't be interested.

Any other studio would make it cheap, not good.

filmkid

this is freaking amazing these would be a great cartoon series

stb247

OMG, he made the "Dogs and Cats" scene even cooler!

Can't wait for GB3

Palmer

These a pretty good, if only their respected animated spin-offs would've been animated like that.

Dan

Well, if it wasn't for the economy, I'd suggest either Cartoon Network or G4 hire him to do a cartoon series for either.

Back to the Future would be a sweet cartoon series, you can go anywhere do anything and the explanation of having a time machine is already done for ya

RIC

You do know that there was a BTTF cartoon, right? I hope you're just being sarcastic.

huppra

sorry i should prefaced it with *New* and no I never saw the original series

nelia

esta buenisimo!

His Ghostbusters artwork is amazing. It remindsme of "cheeks" artwork. Which is also on DeviantArt.

we ghostheads have been saying that since 1999... ;0

I don't see why they couldn't turn both into cartoons these days... There's no limit to the stories that could be told... At least it's better for the kids than that hanna montana tripe. In any case, one only has to look at the resurgence of TMNT back in 2003 (which continues to this day.) to know that it can be done.

Peter do you really own a Hover Board... i remember seeing a photo with you holding one. If so, where did you get it from, and how much.
(Obviously i know it doesnt work)

It was a prop replica I bought on ebay long ago. I don't recall how much it cost, but not a lot since it wasn't used in the film.

Dr_Gonzo

Awesome artwork, I love it! Makes me want to draw something right now.
